    @Martin This is the graph of one of my L2B selectors. I added 2021 and 22 out of interest. Nice and consistent over 4 years

    and my DOB selector, which started picking up again in Jan 23. Looking at the last 2 months it may be in need of an overhaul!

    @Tony-Hastie how have your strategies been going that backtested then? I am finding the same thing in terms of the date.

    Gotta just feel a little gutted when you have a DOB selection in a race you just happen to be watching for a L2B trade and witness your DOB pick romp in paying 16s!

    Got a question that I would love to discuss with you guys, when do you think the Covid effect stopped on Horse Racing? When I look through my strategies I can see a rough time period where it went back to normal but want to see if it is similar to yours.

    Spring 23

    @Tony-Hastie said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

    Something bizarre happened on one of my L2Bs at Cheltenham yesterday....

    The Short Go(14:40) hit the odds range, was towards the back of the field for that start and settled at the back as well.

    .....and the odds didnt move for 2 full minutes after the off(0 or little money coming in), even though the horse remained at the back. I called time on the trade after 2 min 30 for a 70p profit when it finally did move, well short of the 12 ticks, as I like to be out before the miraculous comebacks but Im at a loss to explain what happened! Usually, even if a horse sits at the back the odds are not dormant like this, they always shorten(infuriating!) or drift, even if its just a few ticks.

    Has anyone else had this experience?

    The big festivals can be funny sometimes

    @John-Folan L2Bs still my bread and butter. The DOB hobby isnt going bad though, Β£4 off raising my stake to a fiver....although I think your and my DOB selections together tend to cancel each other out somewhat!

    @Martin said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

    @John-Folan do you find rain has much impact over winter? just thinking it rains and is damp pretty much all the time anyway so may not be as much of a factor.

    I actually think the weather has a big impact. Pretty sure when it’s peeing down it affects the horses and jockeys big time

    @Martin thanks for this. Im sure youve already noticed but January has been a bit of a bastard laying course distance winners! 2023 was a big loss, 2024 was a big loss, so far in 2025 its running at scratch. Rest of the time its looking pretty good! So might take a look at it in February😁
