First one at WRD is a tough call. 2 close favourites and both horses track pace.

B2L on Wish upon. 10% of stake.
Took a while but hit. Also managed to swipe a small win on the winner in running.

@richard-latimer Ahhhhhh, apologies. The second race on the favourite.

@keith-dow said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
@richard-latimer Scalping the horses is essentially trying to nick a tick here and there. So back one tick up and lay one below, rinse and repeat. When the market is stable and liquid it's not too stressfull. Although a large order can come in and you end up on the wrong end of a steam or drift. You really need software to do it to see what the ladder is doing.
No, I know what scalping is. Not sure what race you were on about?

@richard-latimer Think I'll give it a serve too. Going to try and scalp a few ticks before the off though. It'll probably be a fairly stable market on it.
What's that?

@richard-latimer Did any hit the 2's?
Only the winner and I didn't lay that one.
Not sure on the next race, really short favourite. Don't think there's even the competition for a L2B. Will see what the market does pre-off.

The money came in for Young American at the end despite it drifting to 2nd fav. B2L on for 10% of stake. Good start.

@charles-cartwright Thanks Charles, I am a bit sceptical about a blanket approach to laying, different if you've done research on a specific horse and course. The people I 'borrowed' the settings from touted an 88% strike rate, that's still a little fragile and I am sceptical. However, I'm using tiny stakes and regaining my feet in the sport (I started out trading horses and panicked at the speed of the markets and level research required) and then switched to football.
This lapse of sport has allowed me to get in some learning and start exploring how stats can help certain trades. I've found that I am actually loving the horses, probably more than trading football. Back to Lay is my preferred option and I honestly cannot wait to get let loose on the big guns now.
