So then, 100 days to Christmas and that means I could be well £500 poorer. LaughLaughLaugh

Going to set myself a little challenge of a 4% increase on my bank over the next 100 days.

I've been testing a few laying ideas over the last 4 weeks and although that it a very small ampunt of time it would have produced a minium of 4% a day over the course of the 4 weeks, not saying I've found an edge but near enough to what I feel is enough of one to make a small percentage each day.

I'll be starting with a bank of £500, as this is enough to care about if I do lose it but not enought to lose any sleep over.

This will be strictly be on 'Nags' and hopefully it will be a 'Happy Christmas' all round.

First bet for a 2% increase is a lay of Hotham in the 15:20 at Ayr at 34 for £10.48

Good Luck[;)][;)][;)]

I will try to give as much notice in the morning on what the 2 races are but may not be able to give a selection until nearer the off.  Just for anyone that fancies Caviar instead of Turkey for Christmas dinner. LaughLaughLaugh

As I said Paulme, I tested it over the course of the last 4 weeks and every day I got the 2 lay selections beat.  I know anything can happen and obviously not every selction will be laying the bank, on my criteria these were the two horses came out today, tomorrow it could be a 8.0 and a 13.5 for example.

I'm not denying you need a bit of luck along the way but so far so good and may it continue.

Gowly, your last lay was at odds of 42, what do you think the true odds were?
By:
Gowly
When: 18 Sep 11 11:52
@Paulme, I will disclose that after the challenge is over
@Catflmasppo, I'd say that the SP of 28/1 was a fair price.

Gowly, you laid at 42 when you think the true price was 28??
By:

Next one for a 2% increase and to make the daily 4% is in the 15:45 at fairyhouse.
By:
Gowly
When: 18 Sep 11 15:13
Yes @catflmasppo obviously I didn't think it would win regardless if it was 1.01 or 50.  The reason I thought it should have been closer to 28 as this was the tissue price.
 
Hope that answers your question.

See you all tomororw and just for the record they are all not layed at big odds and because of my criteria they will never be odds on shots in small fields. [;)][;)][;)]
