Today's selections - again small stakes and looking for odds to shorten in-play.
12.45 - Jackstar (currently 13/2)
13.55 - Overwrite (currently 7/1)
17.25 - Multellie (currently 14/1)

Figures on the left are star rating as awarded by winning warlock (they go 1-5). In the middle is the mean average inplay price for the horse excluding where they have won. Far right is the median average. Massive difference. I'm wondering if this wouldn't be possible as a one size fiits all kind of thing.

Median ave seems more sensible but then on some that's crazy low and the mean average might make more sense. I'm not sure. I will have another look tomorrow.

Would have been one winner caught in these prices:

BSP was 30.0 and matched at 4.1 to lay.

Not sure how it compares overall but regular punters and traders starved of action.likely to be strong liquidity for foreseeable future.

@cyril-reaney Have you done many 5f... Obviously that's outside of Martins parameters... There's a lot more money matched today against USA is that typical?

@alan-steward well done.did similar myself in sprint races.I believe that all the races for next while will be utterly competitive and sprints 5 and 6 furlongs should be lucrative for Ltf.

LTF at Newcastle
14:10 - 2 matched @ 1.81
15:55 - 2 matched @ 1.81

Hi Alan
NH refers to National Hunt rules which is Jump racing.The National Hunt season will re commence in the U K in July. The season reaches a peak each year with big festivals at Cheltenham and Aintree and normally ends at Sandown in late April. Weights and distances differ from flat races quite a bit and big difference between summer jumping and from approximately Oct 1st.This is when the best N H horses start appearing.
Good luck

@richard-lillis Hi Richard, I've noticed the abbreviation NH used before but it means? I suspect I'll get that stupid feeling when you explain lol.

Also what is your preferred strategy with horse trading?

[james everard]

2nd Race clear favourite not in the top 2 and another very tight finish didn't trade the last one as the favourite was under evens though

Now that winning warlock is back I wanted to start tracking an idea I mid lockdown idea I had about laying the rated horses on there for their average in-running price. No money down on this but should be fairly easy to track wiith timeform.

I've added 10% to each average so far but of course I can look and play around with these numbers as results come in.

That makes sense. Still, I'm sure everyone understands haha!

I just thought I'd take a quick look at the difference between mean ave price and median ave prices in case there are some big outliers and it makes a hell of a difference on the first. With that in mind I'll track both. Median ave for Geizy Teizy is 2.98 or 3.10 when I add 10% to that.

Make that 3.85. Teething troubles.

Just done a test at ltf inplay in the Newcastle at 13.00pm at 1.37 odds. 2 matched which was good. I think the favourite horses will need a few races to get their fitness and form back and think races could be tighter for a little while.

@dan-erridge hi mate - i don't set a target as it all depends on whether the race is panning out as expected, i like to be flexible. My normal races to trade are NH races where you have plenty of time to react to how the race is unfolding. These trades today will be small stakes and quite conservative. I have Dobbed in the past but found that it wasn't flexible enough for my style of trading.
