I'm going to create videos for all of these strategies and give them written explanations on their own threads eventually will take a bit of time but would you guys find that helpful?

@adam Thanks Adam that’s great,much appreciated

@david-baker-0 I've found the strategy you're talking about now by scrolling up a load.

His file is based on the old betting rules, before there was an entry time limit. Basically it's allowing in play lays.

Tanglewood Tales is in the results because it traded at 8.4 towards the end of the race.

All you should need to do to fix this is drag the right side of the entry time slider to "Race Start"

@adam I haven’t changed anything from the original download.Do you think deleting and re uploading is worth a try,the old turn it off turn it on again.

[Adam]

@david-baker-0 As ever, I'd need to see the settings you're using to give an answer. The BSP was indeed 74.91 on that race so there's something else going on.

I am running the Jason F's Lays and checking my results against the results posted in the strategy builder it appears there are horses that are oustside the odds range (3-11) included in the results.For example Tanglewood Tales had a bsp of 74 and on the racing post a starting price of 41 so was never going to be in the odds range.Also a winning horse (Elade 3.40 Newbury) had a bsp of 39 but was marked as only a £9.50 loss.Is anyone else finding discrepancies on this strategy?

@adam Many thanks Adam, I know what I'm trying to convey in my own mind but struggle to find, and subsequently remember where, all the subheadings and rules are in the menus. A very limited logic stream, I'm afraid!

@adam Thanks Adam, I'll give that a try.

[Martin]

@adam will this fix automatically apply or will I need to update the downloads later on?

Great job @Martin @Adam thank you

[Adam]

Just as an aside, @Iain : In that strategy you've got 3 rule groups, each with 1 rule in them and the same match type ("all").

It doesn't make any difference to the results etc but you could just add the 3 individual rules to condense it a bit, like this:

The reason for the groups is to be able to have different match types for different groups of rules.

For example, right now you're saying: "Show me races which are maidens, and the course is x and the class is y"

If you wanted to say: "Show me races which are maidens, and either the course is x OR the class is y", you could do this:

Fixed the entry times as some were running into inplay on the set and forgets. Uploaded all the new ones, if anyone sees any issues with them let me know

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped build some great looking strategies with the community!

[Adam]

I think I see what's happening there.

If you import the file and then click "Save New", it's saving the settings from the old strategy version and overwriting those from the file.

Will fix this today, in the meantime if you manually create a new version and click "Save" instead of "Save New", it will work.

@martin Ok Martin, try this revised edition:

0_1653983919993_rules_export.json

This seems to be a repeat problem, Stuart Hutchinson also reported a loss of £67.00 the other day. I think the settings for the placing of the bet are not getting saved. They should read odds between 2.5 - 200 and placed 1 minute before race start using £1 stake.
I don't know if this is something I'm doing wrong, or whether it's a glitch. (I suspect the former!)
These are the results you should be getting:

Profit: £ 1621.23
ROI: 17%
Number of trades: 9766
Longest win streak: 2
Longest lose streak: 34
