@john-folan I did it around the time you posted yours, but I think it was still logged in from the previous evening / needed a refresh. Chalk it down to user error lol.

Didn’t miss anything anyway

@daniel-mills no they both came up. What time did you look?

[A Former User]

@john-folan Those first two races at Hereford didn't come up in my daily qualifiers list on the preset version linked in the strategy megathread - are those manual ones you've added in?

[John Folan]

I shall be laying the favourites in these races 10 seconds before the start time subject to the following conditions:

Number of Runners 4-14.
Odds Between 1.8-2.4.
DSLR: 3-200.

Full strategy available here in the pinned post.

Tiny loss. Not a disaster.

Only two days of racing left this side of Christmas. Boxing Day looks a bit busy. That will be fun.

Here's something I have been working on, may need a bit of tweaking, just going into testing.

Basically Laying the Favourite if it is Drawn 1 at certain courses and distances. Odds 1.5 to 5.99

Results to flat £10 Liability

Looks good. I'll have a look in the software too but the Max Drawdown is encouraging

@john-folan What were your 5 John, my bot only did 4 (12:50, 17:30, 18:30 and 20:00)?

The same but a 14:20 as well. That one was at 1.86 which managed to win its race so you did well to dodge it.

Aaah, yes, missed because I changed my DSLR to minimum 5..

Bit more like it. 3-2 in our favour and the losers were both at the very short end of the scale so about a point and a quarter profit.

Nice to see some races back. Better they have always erred on the side of caution and put the horses welfare first.

@andy-harris said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

Hi @john-folan I’m new on here and I’m just having a look at lots of the different strategies. When I have your strategy active, my upcoming qualifiers list shows every horse in every race that meets with your rules. Is this because the software doesn’t know which one will be favourite at the off? Is there a way to just show the selected race or is it just a matter of scrolling through and picking out each race manually? My results are showing quite a few selections today even though I have noticed that you suggest below no selections today
Many thanks

I don't do these on a Saturday mate

[John Folan]

Thurles and Wolves both on today. Hopefully this weather f**ks off and does one after this afternoon. That’s the forecast.

[Rick Watson]

@ricky-simpson working fine for me too mate

@ricky-simpson said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

Is anyone else having problems with the software? I can see upcoming qualifiers but can’t see or go through any of the cards. I’ve tried refreshing/resetting but I can’t get to any race cards.

Fingers crossed we might actually get some racing tomorrow.

fine for me
