Proper loser that one... Nearest lowest trade was 3.0
Yeah, one of the first for a while where I did all the correct things and didn't make any rash decisions.

@keith-dow Ok mate I will focus on the top 3 and volume as well then cheers
-
@james-everard I always focus on the three with the most volume traded. In that race Diamonata was the second biggest in terms of volume but liked to track pace as a running style. She steamed into favourite when loaded and hit the lay match straight out of the stalls.

@james-everard Well that didn't start well never in the races . The winner at 39-1 had no stats that suggested in the frame at all. Slow down and not jump into things that are unlikely

@james-everard Promising signs that things are returning. I'm not giving up my trumpeted yankie doodle horsies though.
I am getting into it . Anything on the next race ? I have had a look at the stats, and a total outsider is Olive County which has the top late pace and a hot trainer. I have put a £2 back on this a to trade out at 20% lower.

@james-everard if liquidity is good may as well test the waters!
No idea what liquidity will be like for French racing but I would imagine it would be half decent. Be better than Swedish trotting for sure . Looking at the Paris course looks one of the bigger venues so fingers crossed and hopefully we will be pleasantly surprised with the liquidity ( only 6 days away) .Sport is slowly starting to look more promising

Not sure if anyone trades French horse racing , I assume it is on the Betfair exchange. If so good news starting Monday
-
watched the last Will Rogers Race hoping for the fave to move past 4.0 and then it struck that maybe we could include these races with a tweak.
The reason for not doing LTF when shorter prices are involved is surely because we fear the short price bolting off, getting matched and cantering to victory. This seems to happen quite frequently so it's hardly unfounded but what about if we just exclude the favourite in these cases therefore continuing to lay a competitive field.
It would have worked on that one. Favourite won but before it did another got matched quite low. Of course even if it hadn't, you lose absolutely nothing if the favourite never skips a beat.
I might trial this tomorrow.
Same race types, distances etc.... just excluding any horse that goes off under 4.0 BSP.
