@Martin Hey,
Has the latest one (.json file) been updated on the OP of the horse racing megathread page?
Good point just updated it: https://forum.betfairtradingcommunity.com/topic/3531/horse-racing-strategies-megathread/2

@Martin The data don't lie and I trust the process. 100% mindset, so I'm working on it and I’ll be the laying master in no time

@Martin Yeah, I need to double check what the bot is doing against the data from the horse software since mine isn't doing well. Since this is my first month, I'm still using £1 stakes, and I feel like it's hard to recover after one loss. As an example, if I lay at 9 and the horse wins, it takes two or three days to recover from this hit, assuming I have a streak of wins which is not always the case. While I can see that it's profitable using the backtesting, I still don’t feel very comfortable laying, hopefully I’ll get used to it with time.

@Correa my ltbf has done ok, are you using the latest one? mind you I missed Sunday was that the bad day?
-
@Martin best one so far running on BFBM. I can't say the same about laying the beaten favourite though. Not great in the past few days.

Shared banks are fine for win betting (2-3 strategies), but I never use them for laying. You can put a huge dent in a bank in a short time laying.

@Martin said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
@Daniel-Mills is this your own strategy?
My back to lay dobs are -0.52pts and irish dobs are 9.1pts up since last Saturday when I started forward testing.
it's the back to lay 2.0 you posted, I set up the bot myself though. Looks like the only difference with the bot was the hedge which i've got rid of and will keep an eye on for a bit longer.
Cheers to Jonathan-jones and Joseph Henderson too for the input. Will have a proper nose through - missed the original response to David's query about the DOB's.
-
@Martin That is running it as a DOB strategy and without the stop loss, sorry should have made that clear.
-
@Joseph-Henderson I turned it into a dob strategy works much better, although I then turned that into a Irish dob strategy which is doing really well so far, only been a week though so not enough time to truly judge it.
-
@Jonathan-Jones Glad you flagged this issue!
Back to Lay 2.0 is showing a profit of 2.94 for August (1st to 6th inclusive) compared with -6.46 running my bot. One to probably do some more detailed back testing on using the method you outline.
