frustrating day Sunday , finished up +£1.44 , but got the bank to £306 ( so had trebled start bank) and would have been happy to end on £300 but layed the last winner ( and 4 others out of the last 10 races ) to fall to £294 .

Interesting that tobermory
and I have almost identical results (in percentage terms)! |
|
By:
I reckon Mawsem in the last at Southwell has spoiled a decent day.
|
|
By:
I layed that one too :)
|
|
By:
and another in same race so not too bad for me though lost, maybe should forget these NHFs
|
|
By:
NHF races are full of inside info.The ones the money comes for aren't far away.

By:
What are the top and bottom prices you lay at ?
|
|
By:
Spring Snow would have been your other ?

By:
;)
|

By:
Welll, it's simple really. I lay starting at prices under the bookies, and keep laying any steamers. I add an extra premium for small field races and I will sometimes increase my prices to try and keep my book somewhat balanced. How about you?

By:
I will lay anything at all in theory
Though i am trying gradually to reduce the maximum % liabilty per race . I started with 10% , which was £10 with my start bank , so could only lay 6.0 at biggest .That was too high but i would have been too bored to do it if i'd set it at 5% as hard to find a 5/2 to lay in most races so would have been hanging around twiddling thumbs and probaly packed it in. Reduced to 8% before bank reached £200 and then 7% , so when i was/am in the 290s i can lay up to 11.0 , at £300 it is reduced to 6% so currently only laying up to 10.0 ,though the top price will increase incrementally at £310 £320 etc and when hit $400 will reduce to 5% |

By:
Not saying too much about it Snapper here :)
Though i don't look at bookies odds and not bothered about balancing the book. |
|
By:
I understand...too many backers around (LOL!). I try and lay around 1-2% of my bank per lay, up to 5% max liability per race, so we seem to be of the same mindset. Good luck with it, my fellow bookie!
|

By:
I thought you were regularly increasing your bank by large %'s trading TheSnapper? Did the pirate get defeated in battle?
|
|
By:
I think there is another Snapper around...
|
|
By:
jeez ,lost on 3 in a row here
Actually lost the first 4 races i bet on when i started , but until now never had 3 in a row since. |
|
By:
Are you just laying when they shorten Tober ? Saw your comment on the thread with Beatheoveround.
|
|
By:
Last 2 have been good ?
|

By:
Hope you didnt do Storm Kirk NHF ?
|
|
By:
i wouldn't say 'just' , i have a very precise , though pretty simple, method , that is applied to every race . But it does involve that yes . I have filters , but it is all based on the market , the horses are just names on the screen to me.
I went through the BTO thead recently . I recall looking at that when it started and never looked past the 1st few posts (where the question is answered) so wondered why it was running to so many pages but not curious enough to lllook at the time. I noticed some people said BTO was a fantasist but i think he is a winner on here. He has contradicted himself on other threads but i don't think he is dishonest, seems to have a very active mind which produces fluid thinking . Some of his ideas seemed odd IMO ,but i think he does ok as his main approach is sound Storm Kirk just pretty much completed a dreadful day for me there, worst by far since i began. |

By:
Carnage on these NHF :D
Was looking at the stats the other day and though it was my worst race type , i thought that i'd only bet on 22 of them , so it was too small a sample to just rule them out . That's 3 in a row of them now that i've lost on saince though. Have to review that i think. |
|
By:
Some of his ideas seemed odd IMO
I mean some of the methods/criteria he says he is using , which on previous threads he seems to rule out . Probabaly changes details of his approach frequently, but does ok long term i reckon. |

ffs another one! Activate!

By:
2nd horse was matched @1.12 too
|
|
By:
Today,you're having the type of day I used to have regularly.
If you can,look at the price bands and work out which (if any) are profitable. |
|
By:
I layed the 2nd lol
|
|
By:
Yes , i need to do that , i have all the stats on Races , profit/loss ,liabilty , race type etc , but haven't bothered to add all the prices matched on individual horses . I will be suprised if this or that price is better or worse but thats just my assumption .
Had bets on 14 Races today , lost on 8 ( strike rate a consistent 75% before today) . |
|
By:
Prepare to be surprised.

|
By:
Layed 5 of the last 6 winners , 3.9 shortest price :0

Do you load your bets based on the opening show from the track ?
