@Tony-Hastie I've got a C&D winner that is down this month but it backs at high odds so lot of variance, not sure I love those kinds of strategies tbh
-
@Martin Since the monday from hell its been business as usual for my Lay 3rd fav. My DOB is treading water. Think I mentioned it was 10 points up about a week ago...its still 10 points up!
-
@Tony-Hastie lay 3rd fav doing well for me still making up for a bit of a downturn from the dobs at the moment.
-
@Tony-Hastie days of the week always an interesting one to look at! Often thought Tuesday's racing is rubbish usually.
-
@Martin It was, then monday happened
Just about to hit a milestone and raise the stakes and Im right back to where I began the month! Was going so well too...had about 20 wins in a row before that...
Edit to add- just had a look at mondays performance in the software. ROI is 1.74(rest of week is sitting between 3s and 7s)...£50 odd profit over 600 trades. Could quite easily drop that...

@Adam Pretty much UK wide then

I can confirm the term steaming, is also very widely used here in Wales, especially on a saturday night!
Can also confirm, except in Newport it's pretty much every night of the week!

@Tony-Hastie said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
I asked where the term "steaming" came from a while back and noone seemed to know(or care!) I learned that it was a common term in Glasgow for getting drunk and that was it, conversation over!
Well, Ive been asking chat gpt to help me with a back the fave racing strategy and it mentioned steaming prices. So I asked, Where did the term come from? Its answer...
This term is thought to be derived from the idea of something "gaining momentum" or "picking up steam," similar to how a steam engine builds speed as pressure increases.
I will sleep tonight
That's a great fact!

@Tony-Hastie great point, amazing how often strategies not obviously connected align like that. I find it with football too!
-
@Martin Ive noticed if the DOBs do well the Lay 3rd fav does well too. And if one doesnt, neither does the other. Need to find something set and forget that does well when these dont now!
-
@Tony-Hastie mine at 14pts up at the moment, been a great run. Lay third fav has been doing well too.
-
@Martin Before I was adding my software DOB selections to another lot of selections from another provider then putting them through my selection criteria. This month I have decided to stand alone trade them(£1 stakes) with no other criteria and am up 10 points!
-
@John-Folan not a bad idea that! Enjoy the holiday

@John-Folan dobs been good for me recently how are they for you?
No idea. Still in Turkey and I’m refusing to look at my Betfair account until I get back. My automation was left running though.
Read the first post on both threads.
