@jonathan-jones We were deploying some updates. The maintenance message was displayed on screen for quite a while before that. Should be accessible again now.

Anything 'interesting' in those updates?

[Adam]

@dene-topliss It's definitely not. If you're accessing the software from the BTC user dashboard, do Ctrl F5 on that page before clicking the horse racing stats button

Today's.

Classic Trobs: Dob, Trob or Win if odds are between 3.5-9
NONE TODAY

Flat Pace. Back to Win or Place if Win Price is between 2.0-25.0. 4-14 Runners only. Avoid Soft, Heavy and Firm Going

Slow Horses. Dob any over 6.0. Multiple selections per race are what makes this profitable. Just think Pokemon.
NONE TODAY

[Ryan]

@john-folan yea!! They are near enough break even for the month now which works for me!

[John Folan]

Better on Pace

[John Folan]

Right let us see if today is better

Classic Trobs: Dob, Trob or Win if odds are between 3.5-9
NONE TODAY

[John Folan]

Crap today. Not even a place. On to tomorrow

[John Folan]

@michael not a silly question. Yes it’s fine. Little trick is to check the actual going of the first race once the result is in to see if it changes. Timeform results are good for that.

Hopefully not a silly question but is 'good to firm' going acceptable for the Flat Place qualifiers, John?!

[John Folan]

@ian-parry also apologies. I probably didn’t explain myself very well. Touch of man flu. All over the show

@john-folan said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

Oh and I ratchet stake as well so I do not reduce if I have a loss.

So you never reduce your stakes? Even when you have a bad run? Doesn't that mean you're eventually going to blow your bank? If you are using stakes which are 2% of your bank and you never reduce it. All it takes is a run of 50 losses - quite possible on a back strategy.

Yep. Like I said depends on the strategy. Pace is on 1%. Slow Horses, Classic Trobs and short odds lays are 2%. It's all about the drawdown % as it increases

[Ryan]

@john-folan yea that is true, anything that you add to them from this point is a bonus - BUT you don't have to.
