I had a critic when I posted ratings on system just over 2 years ago........................
To be honest I did not really know how to use my system's ratings of races......
It has taken years to develop a system......and there have been many "problems" ...HURDLES ....to over come......
The guy in cheap seats.....heavily pestered me on thread re the ratings.......To be fair to him/she, I did not know how to use them. I knew they were up to a very high standard, but that is all I knew.
I have now analysed all races rated in 2008 and so far the STRATEGIES for BOTH BACKING and LAYING then would be succesful.
I am posting the ratings for races rated in 2009, when my critic first appeared on thread..................
Now the question I pose to you wise ones in cheap seats is ........can you see the strategies that work......either BACKING or LAYING from ratings and results below....?
I'm telling you now that it is not "easy" to see stratgies from ratings.......................BUT I HAVE EM ( taken years to arrive at em ....but the results are ...."pretty good" on applying set strategies to races within certain criteria.
Some people GIVE UP the search for HOLY GRAIL................I am not one !
Here are ratings with some information on races for 4th MARCH 2009.................plus the comments from my critic ( NOT MUQBIL....AS HE IS A VERY WISE PERON ON FORUM)
Can you spot the STRATEGIES that "work"? IT IS NOT EASY , AS ANYONE COULD DO IT IF IT WAS !
Reason for posting this thread is to counteract anyone GIVING UP on trying to find THG re HORSES............
THIS WAS FIRST DAY MY MAIN CRITIC CAME ON THREAD...

DFCIRONMAN 01 Apr 16:53 Technically the 4.10 race on DAY 1 ( 3rd march 2009) was not a QUALIFYING race for BACKING STRATEGIES ....so the profits should read

DFCIRONMAN 04 Mar 23:36 Muqbil 04 Mar 16:59 DFC, you are obviously passionate about your ratings but I honestly don't see where this is going? You could make a profit for a few months and still not know whether the ratings actually mean anything.
I have been looking forward to your system for ages and wish you well and hope you make profit, if you do I fear it will be as a result of luck rather than any ratings. ==========================================================
Only 2nd day M ........and i did state at start of thread I NEED to get up to speed on current racing ...etc
Also, I need time to get the 4 main BETTING STRATEGIES imbeded into my noggin ..........as i was not a LAYER , then it is "foreign" to me and the mindset is totally different from being a BACKER ......
As I obviously know what the system is good at .....and know , through race /ratings analysis, what strategies do work and what ones don't................. then all I can say is that from last two days races the SYTEM is doing what i want it to do.....and the 4 STRATEGIES are fine too .....just me that is not used to operating with such BETTING STRATEGIES that i need to get adept at using.
All the races stats from over 1,250 races rated last year indicate ....
1. 72% of winners were in top 50% + 1 of field.......for all race types ...ie not for certain types only.
2. high odds winners were , from memory, with 46% of qualifying selections ( ie 46% of total number in fields ) achieved 56% of the total high odds winners. THIS INDICATES AN EDGE IMO. covering all races without being SELECTIVE. ....
3. From detailed analysis of how the 4 main BETTING STRATEGIES would have done on rated races ....1,250 at least done......all of them would produce a good profit with high ROI.
I do not believe ...naturally that the above stats are "lucky" ...but down to the system doing what it was mainly devised to do ....get high odds horses that might win in top half of ratings.
As i know that I / the system is only getting 72% winners in top 50% + 1 of field, then i even have a strategy to cover the 28% winners that I get/the system gets wrong.......it/I get it wrong as some of factors applied are based on certain factors been deemed to be "right"...........and If i/the system gets those facors "wrong" ....and i only do that 28% of time approx..............then there are reasons why this other strategy works.........and works to high ROI.
It may from an outsider's perspective that the ratings appear a mish mash from race to race....but the stats support the sytem is operating to good standard sufficient generally to make a good leve of profit.........
As there have been few qualifying races for most of strategies over ONLY TWO DAYS ....then this combined with me getting used to those strategies etc...making mistakes ...is just part of the learning process for me.
I'm confident the 4 STRATEGIES work allied to system ratings.....................too early for anyone to deem anything from TWO DAYS .....wait til end of MONTH then by then you should see profits getting more regularly made ...and losses occurring less frequently .....as long as profit more than loss that will be main thing ....and it is likely that i can achieve 3/4 points MIMIMUM per day on average over long period........ the ERRORS should get less and less as i learn etc.......and more and more qualifying bets will arise ......so I'm still optimistic AND REALISTIC re it being early days ....with best yet to come.
So will plough on and try to get better at applying strategies to a system that works generally to a high standard ......"good" is perhaps an understatement ]:)
As for lee h2 ....he ain't got a clue about how system's work ......certainly by cheap comments from cheap seats he should only comment on something he knows about rather than just be a parrot repeating the same nonsense all the time.............................critisise my football bets ...no probs there , as i admit i just ad-lib there ....but for Pete's sake and mine ....stop repeating same rubbish all the time.
ONLY PROFIT OVER ALONG PERIOD WILL BE LIKELY TO SATISFY YOU M THAT THERE IS A SOUNDLY BASED SYSTEM DOING ITS JOB.......only a few high odds ones threatened to win in BRITAIN today ...and system had most of em in top rated ones....so that is what is devised mainly for.....so watch AND ALLOW FOR ME TO GET USED TO APPLYING STRATEGIES.......
Better watch some of my football bets nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....need BOCA to win now as main bet was DRAW/BOCA ......
GN the noooooooooo and thanks for contribution M....always good to hear your views ..hope naps will keep coming in for you .......they better , as I'm now viewing 12 approx races a day .....so bound to get more and more frequent winners at reasonable odds .....so will be trying to get to PREMIER before end of year .....as only looking at say 1/2 races for last 5/6 months ....my naps in comp have been abysmal........................not using system though ]:)...just guessing :D
Any views/ideas re strategies that "work" either BACKING or LAYING would be appreciated ( I have devised my own ones ....but others ides/views would be interesting to hear....whether GOOD or BAD)
The thread might spark some interesting views re RATINGS/ideas etc etc etc ....so thought I'd post this to stimulate the brain cells.........for me!
G M the noooooooooooooooooo =======================================================

hey the original poster is right about foootball i have come to the conclusion in football form is not significant enough and really the only way to bet on football is in play betting pre game is random
reason teams change mentality change formations etc the same players dont usually play every game once a ball is kick all previous form goes out the window like teams that u see getiing beat week in week out can change ther formation eventually etc its all about what happens on the pitch at the time not what happened last week football is played by humans humans adapt i cant understand why people try to devise football ratings when most teams you will find dont play the exact same team week in week out
yes football form is important but i dont think it is significant enough unlike horses
how do you create your own ratings do you use a computer

Had to get friend to computerise system as i needed to take the tedious part out doing ratings.
Not "easy" converting what was in my heid to someone who knew nothing about horse racing!
So took a number of years before he produced the system....and in 2008 started to rate races on it.
Been long pauses since then due to various circumstances..........and I needed to analyse the results for ratings to try to figure out how best to use them !
Away to watch BANFIELD match ...glutton for punishment....hope this on does not finish 0-0 as layed it! MGOFS 1-0 or 0-1.

DFC, why didn't you teach yourself to program? A few minutes each night for the last two years and you'd definitely have enough knowledge of programming now to be able to create your own programs. You don't actually need to have an awful lot of programming skills in order to be able to extract data, perform calculations on it, and put it back into a text file in a form that works best for you.

The-Revolutionary, football isn't quite as random as you think. You get to hear exactly who's going to be playing before the game starts, and from that you can usually have a stab at what the formation will be. You don't always know the team mentality, but there are certain games that you know the teams will be taking less seriously than others. And there'll be some matches where you're expecting the team to be experiencing a bit of a hangover from the last match.
The teams who have been playing European football mid-week invariably struggle when they play league games three days later. And that's particularly so when they have small squads and so have to play virtually the same team in both matches. Last week, the only Uefa Cup team not to struggle on the Sunday was Tottenham. And that probably had much to do with them fielding a young team in the Uefa match, only to dramatically change the team when they played in the league.
If you're struggling to tell how a team is likely to play, it could be because you're concentrating on fixtures lists rather than individual teams. I watch almost every Manchester United game, and can usually tell from the Man U teamsheet whether it's going to be an exciting attacking team, or whether they're going to be playing mainly for a draw. Sometimes I won't be entirely sure which way the team's going to go. In that case I can always watch their game (on Sopcast if necessary) and can usually tell a few minutes into the match whether they're up for the match or not.
Now, I'm no expert when it comes to football, so if I can get some strong ideas just by watching Man U in a fairly casual way, then I'm sure many of the people on Betfair can become extremely well informed through following one or two or three teams almost exclusively. Get to know not just the main players, but also those on the fringes of the squad. And know which types of team are likely to cause them problems, and which types of team are tailor-made to be destroyed by them.

From races checked SO FAR ( only over 9 days), if you BACKED FAV/JF/CFs (because they are "VALUE" LAYS due to their RANK and odds at SP making them so IMO) then LAYED them IR their appears to be HUGE scope for STRATEGY there.

So your post on here has stimulated my heid ....a bit.....and the apparent scope for PROFIT is clear from above races checked SO FAR! Therefore I may well have gained from starting this thread ALREADY
Better get back to analysing results .....

Can't say what the exact BACK and LAY STRATEGY is re above "idea"..........but can say that applying it to the 8 days races ( where 10 runners min in race) the figures indicate - approximately £1,100 PROFIT after commission at 5% using BACK stakes of £100.
"Interesting" results SO FAR!

acornel- you do the matchs on the recent "idea" ...and
STAKES = 48 x £100 = £4,800
NET PROFIT AFTER COMMISSION = £1,118
What ROI does this show?
Such a ROI is a strong indicator that there IS AN "EDGE" re using the system this way.

Even on 17.03.09 the £17 net profit obtained on basis of £300 total STAKES shows 5.66% ROI........
This looks like a pretty mediocre day for system...........but some would consider 5.66% ROI as indicating "EDGE".

Such a ROI is a strong indicator that there IS AN "EDGE" re using the system this way.
DFC, The ROI is not so important ... ~ 25% ROI might look impressive as an "absolute" value but what is most important is the edge. It is clear that if the ROI is positive then you have an edge ... but the question is how big is your edge in percentage?
I'll try to calculate it even if I won't be 100% precise (I don't have all your bets/odds/result) ...
1. "BTW - out of the 48 selections......only 13 won.......Strike-rate 27.08% This is why STRATEGY works over the 9 days...." [i]2. "...approximately £1,100 PROFIT after commission at 5% using BACK stakes of £100."
Strike-rate 27.08% ... ROI ~22% I calculate an average odds for the 48 bets = 4.50 (you can confirm this) ... so your Edge is (4.50*27 - 73)/4.50 = 121.5-73/4.50 = ~10.7%
This is a comfortable edge ... if it is confirmed after many more bets ... I'd say at least 200 or even more.

I did a check on how the three top rated fared re a few days in JULY 2008.......and am currently checking out how applying the "new" STRATEGY would work out in races where 10 runners etc This was the original check NO TOP TOP 2ND TOP
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH missed out putting in BOLD the ones after I typed the bit about BOLD etc .....
Can't be bothered to re-post this .....but you get the gist of post !

OK have checked applying similar STRATEGY etc re races rated in JULY 2008 that have a minimum number of runners of 10.....and produces
TOTAL TOTAL PROFIT COMMISSION
2377.27 -233.8635
From 59 bets.....and where there were 24 WINNING selections amongst them ! ROI 36.32%
Must be something wrong with the workings on this ....but not spotted it yet

Obviously there a great deal more FAVOURITES win in JULY than in most other months.....and possibly explains why figures are so "good".
Figures appear to be correctly calculated.......therefore SO FAR so "good"!

Well it surely depends whether on you're talking about Flat racing or Jumps DFC. As far as the Flat racing season goes, according to Adrian Massey's records, year after year July was the best month for favourites, so that backs up your theory. April was the worst month, which makes sense as you'll get a lot of new and lightly raced high quality horses coming in who cause surprises. By July, the good horses are still racing hard but the form is fairly well established, which is why the faves are apparently easier to rely on. Maybe from August onwards the season starts to wind down, and some of the best horses are also getting a little tired or lacking motivation, so things get slightly more unpredictable.
Going on the same logic, wouldn't you expect October/November to be the worst months for Jumps favourites? By February/March the form would be well established and the bad weather would be clearing away as well, which might make things more predictable.

Just after completing a check on BACKING to WIN the VALUE horses above the line in the period from 15.07.08 to 24.07.08 when rated races on 9 days. 8 good odds winners would have been obtained.....and profit figures etc were -
13150.4 NET PROFIT , after commission at 5%, from 329 bets.......at £100 stakes per selection...
ROI 39.96 %
So the system performed "well" both with getting HIGH ODDS winners in upper part of field size , as well as doing well re FAVs,JFS,and CFS winning.
The STRATEGY applied to the JULY 2008 period for figures above was based on analysis work previously carried out on APRIL and MAY 2008 that I know worked when applied to those races.
Bets were not restricted to 10 runner races only for above JULY 2008 profit figures.....every race rated had STRATEGY applied to it. 242 races where STRATEGY applied to.

The check above was on races ABOVE THE LINE where odds met certain criteria.......so decided to check what result would be for same races if used horses BELOW LINE that met same odds criteria....and the result was-
-12949.95 NET LOSS AFTER COMMISSION
There would have been 333 bets on selections over 242 races in the 9 days checked in JULY 2008. There were the same number of winners BELOW THE LINE as ABOVE THE LINE ......
The above difference between ABOVE THE LINE and BELOW THE LINE indicates that the system did its job in getting good odds horses that had a chance to win ABOVE THE LINE!
In effect the "EDGE" is the system......................and betting where odds are "VALUE".

Getting "bored" checking the STRATEGIES on previously rated races, as all they do is indicate PROFITS can be made on attacking FAVS and 2nd FAVS in BACK and LAY markets re WIN/PLACE.
The main reason the STRATEGIES "work", or "appear to work", is that the system ratings generally gets winners in the top 50% + 1 of field size as well as about 68% of high odds ones rated there too that place/win.
As my "obsession" has been at getting STRATEGIES re BACKING higher odds ones using the ratings etc ( have got them too!), then I just never wanted to check out STRATEGIES re FAVOURITES........re BACKING, as I wanted the system to get good odds winners in top rated etc......and if the system did that, then the system should then enable STRATEGIES for FAVOURITES ....in due course.
Just wish I had not been so "obsessed" re the HIGHER ODDS ones, as this has delayed me checking out STRATEGIES on SHORT ODDS ones !
If my mindset was like a LAYER, then of course would have checked out FAVOURITES STRATEGIES earlier.
It appears it should be possible to achieve at least 10 points a day profit after commission from STRATEGIES for FAVOURITES/2nd FAVS, and that was always my target in devising the system......but just wanted it to be gained on the HIGHER ODDS ones.
The liquidity is far better on SHORT ODDS ones .........so initially i will just exploit STRATEGIES on them !
Having "discovered" just how well the system does on attacking the low odds ones, as well as higher odds ones, then all I need to do now is get enough energy up to start using STRATEGIES and SYSTEM again ! As I still have umpteen "things to do" , other than betting, between now and Christmas.......it is likely I won't be in a position to fully concentrate on using the SYSTEM etc until I have resolved the other matters. Could do with time away from horse racing stats anyway .....so change should do me "good"! Will start early in new year to apply system etc.....
Thanks again Lord Bobbin for reminding me that i had not checked out STRATEGIES on FAVOURITES etc etc.......... Your "prod" got me finally round to checking out STRATEGIES on previously rated races........so the thread has proved useful for me.....and perhaps it also gives "hope" to those striving to find the grail!!!!!

As the AVERAGE ODDS are at BFSP for LAYS, then IMO this is as near to the "grail" as I can get to and should be "good enough" STRATEGIES to use "in due course"!

zip - so you reckon that laying 364 FAVOURITES over 33 days at average odds ( BF SP) 2.95-1 and getting 277 winning lays is near "grail" level? ie 8.39 average number of losers over 33 days !

At SP odds the lays average 2.55......so it would be expected that there might be 142 losers......but there are only 87 amongst the lays on favourites over the 33 days.......
At SP odds the lays average 2.55......so it would be expected that there might be 142 losers......but there are only 87 amongst the lays on favourites over the 33 days.......
At SP odds of 2.55-1 you would expect there would be 39.21% of winning horses.
If you lay 364 horses at average odds 2.55-1, then you would expect 142 horses winning.
The system, together with laying at "value" odds strategy, using RANK position in ratings and odds, only has 87 losers ( ie horses that win) if selecting lays using this STRATEGY.
ie 364 lays with 277 of them not winning over 33 days = 8.39 average number of winning lays over the 33 days........

DFC, your sample is far too small. You're going to need at least 10x that sample size before a result becomes significant.
This is one reason why systemites often lose. They collect some stats and look for an edge. After collecting a few hundred samples they find a system with a 20% edge and think 'yahoo, this is the one' and start betting. Often this is just the time the data starts to rebalance and all their winners turn into losers. After losing their shirt they have a sample size that is about right and they see that their wonderous system actually has an edge of -5%.
One winning system could be to look for a system based on a few hundred samples that is heavily positive and then start doing the opposite ! I suspect you'd find it quite productive.
Big numbers, like breasts, are always the best (well usually)

So ROI on WIN BACKS has increased.......and slight decrease in PLACE LAY ROI to fixed liability.
The 3rd favourite BACKS and LAYS are a bit more "volatile" from day to day........but still average about 6 points profit over 10 days checked in JULY/AUGUST 2008. 277 races were checked re 3rd favourites in recent check since I last posted ....with 145 BACK bets in WIN market meeting criteria for selection....and only 61 LAYS meeting criteria .
Over all ....SO FAR......averaging approximately 14 points profit daily re carrying out this check on FAVS/2nd FAVS/3rd FAVS..........
Nothing being thrown up that puts me off STRATEGIES yet......
GL with bets today.
Latest update on previously rated races and applying set STRATEGIES for BACKING and LAYING in WIN and PLACE markets with selections meeting "VALUE" criteria and using RANK position of 1st/2nd/3rd favs.......Been checking out 3rd favourites position f
DrWhom.....I know that many many will say ..."too small" a sample.....BUT......the races rated cover every type and fieldsize etc etc ....and as there are over 1,000 races being checked out re applying SET STRATEGIES etc......then the consistency of how system rates races is enabling "VALUE" selections to be obtained.
Remember.......each race is being attacked re FAV/2ndFAV and 3rd FAV......for example -
just selecting a race at random -
NEWBURY
13:30 Maiden Fillies´ Stakes(Class 4) (2yo) 6f Good
1,Demeanour 16-1 2,Suakin Dancer 40-1 3,Sharpener 5-2F 4,Brooksby 50-1 5,Prima Fonteyn 100-1 6,Miss Tango Hotel 12-1 7,Ballyalla 1ST 6-1 3RD F 8,Costa Lotta 66-1 9,Slant 3RD 40-1 1&3 £110.50 10,Peninsula Girl 13-2 ------------------------------------------ 11,Super Midge 11-1 12,Intrepid Lady 25-1 13,Solitary 9-2 2ND F 14,Crown Affair 50-1 15,Order Order 25-1 16,Perfect Pride 2ND 16-1 17,Fly Butterfly 50-1 18,Lily Waters 66-1 ======================================================================================
The FAV is 5-2 and in top 3 rated .....so 1 point backed to win only.....would be lost......-1 point
2nd FAV is below the line ( 50%+1 of field size) and is at VALUE odds to lay considering the RANK position and odds . So would be layed WIN and PLACE ....gaining 2 points less commission
The 3rd FAV won .....but as only 6-1 SP and ranked 7th ...to me this is NOT "VALUE" considering rank position....therefore not a BACK or LAY........
So PROFIT of 0.90 points after commission at 5% say....from that race.......
The system consistently "finds" "VALUE" selections....so it should consistently produce returns that enable profit to be made.
Still have a few checks to carry out ........if I have time ....but SO FAR the ROI from BACKS in WIN market and LAYS in PLACE market to FIXED LIABILITY are "stunning" IMO now.......considering just how accurate the odds are meant to be etc etc at short odds end of market!

Look, the last thing I want to do is rain on your parade but sample size really is an issue and its destroyed many system players before you because they've jumped the gun. Just look at any of the 'system builder' type websites that are around. You can create great systems any time you want but will they walk into the future the same way as they've performed in the past, particularly if they're based on a small sample ? 99% won't but then again 1% will, so you may be lucky. Have fun.....

As there can be over 100 FACTORS taking into account when rating a race......the complexity of system should stand test of time, as all of those FACTORS won't disappear overnight ...unless the end of world is nigh.....which it might be
This is NOT a "simple" system DrW........so should stand up to rating future races .....
Thanks for making the point re "SMALL" sample of races.....but as at least 1,000 various races covered ...AW/NH/TURF re rated races.....then any rain that falls should only be a temporary shower.....

More checks carried out on FAVOURITES. The over all position is now re BACKING and LAYING in WIN and PLACE markets for the 4 STRATEGIES, using RANK position and odds where "VALUE" is as follows :-
ROI has "improved" with carrying out more checks on races for all 4 STRATEGIES....so still nothing to indicate the STRATEGIES won't "work" using system ratings.
Still have more days to check .....but hard to see STRATEGIES ending in a LOSS position.....as consistently "VALUE" selections stand out using system ratings .
I see on another thread that the point is being made that it is important to find "VALUE" on bets......and hard to "pick winners".
Generally I agree on the point made......as generally i can normally "see" where the winner might come from.....but "knowing" a horse will win is a feeling I rarely have. So USING "VALUE" as the key to selections ( BACKING or LAYING) , combined with using system RATINGS, has to be way to make consistent profits.

With respect, I-Only-Lay, that's drivel. It's true that a lot of the time horse races are a bit of a lottery. However, if you're very selective, you can find races where a horse clearly has more class than the others lining up against it. That still doesn't mean that it'll win, so you have to make sure that the odds are sufficiently generous that they factor in the chances of the horse simply not firing that day.
I can assure you that I was hopeless at picking out successful horses 18 months ago. 12 months ago I was better but still not really profitable. Over the last eight months I've been able to make a modest profit - stretching to a very solid profit (given my stakes) over the last few months. Over 18 months I've become gradually better and better at reading the form, so I can assure you that it's no lottery. You do need to be selective and look for generous odds though.
And you can actually apply the 'an animal does what it wants when it wants' argument to human-based sports too. How often do we see a football team being put out that, on paper, looks like it should rout the opposition, but in reality struggles to craft even one goal? But as long as the odds will be compensating you well for that side winning, you can afford the occasional honker of a performance.

Have you found a way to quickly calculate your strategy result over the past races? I agree DrWhom saying 2 months results gives you too less sample size ... I found so many strategies that performed well for few months and very poor afterwards.
Have you been able to automatize your system? How it works?
On my side one month ago I decided to keep only the strategies that performed good during my live test and now I can see a positive result in my P/L.

You state it is a "complete lottery"..........................................so holding that view indicates you know very very little re horse racing ....so you just view it as a "lottery".
Making such a daft statement as "no knowledge is needed for horse racing"......indicates just how little you know.

DI - I asked the question earlier on thread re are results showing ROIs on the 4 strategies.......
The ROIs appear to be very "high" considering the stats are bets at the "sharp" end of markets......16% re BACKING 1st/2nd/3rd favourites to WIN......and about the same on LAYING in PLACE market with h fixed liability.
Considering number of selections (approximately 1,286 on BACKS and 949 on LAYS ) the ROIs are IMO "high" when betting at "sharp" end of markets..................... What do you consider the level of ROI would be for a "holy grail" level of achievement? ( please don't say 100%.........as that would be impossible!)

In the meantime you could manually test your system, right? So that you could confirm (or not) the test you've done on past races and see if the ROI is ~ the same as the one calculated here.
Or is too much effort?

There is one STRATEGY that indicates ROI of over 200%( near 300% actually).....but this can only be attacked through bets through BOOKMAKERS.....and the runs of losers are long.......but the wins when they come are "huge" ....Only for certain race types though.....and would need a "team" placing bets ....which of course the bookies would then probably NOT PAY OUT under their rules etc etc

I've convinced myself acornel that the SYSTEM of rating races operates to generally a good standard.....but it does take a lotta energy to apply it....even with computerised system !
Therefore .....really NEED one of the "REPORT" parts of the system to "work" properly ( seems not to work on races rated after 2009.......probably a date related "problem" in programming by friend). Once he fixes this "problem" i can then operate initially at an efficient level with STRATEGIES attacking FAVOURITES markets.
Thanks for offer ....but trust you understand that the friend is who I rely on ....and he deserves reward for all time input in past etc etc
So not using SYSTEM til the REPORT part works.........Suspect will be JANUARY before I will be in position to bet professonally!

From my point of view it would be good to hear from others who "know" ....just how "good" ..."bad" or mediocre the ROIs are re 4 STRATEGIES indicated above.......

A "professional" previously indicated to me that an ROI in PLACE market on LAYING of 5% was a "very good" standard to achieve........
As the ROI in PLACE LAY market is currently near 16%.......then I am pretty sure that this would be well above average when betting at average odds of 0.94-1 in that market.
The BACKING ROI is also at 16% level after 1,286 backs....at average odds on 4.79-1 ......I believe it is well above average......but just "good" is it?

Presuming your winnings arent going to be subject to Premium Charge, ROI of 16% for PLACE LAY and BACKING bets sounds pretty much like a HOLY GRAIL to me. Sounds like you've put a lot of work in DFC...nice going. Does it throw up several bets a day and have you noticed any signs of the edge decreasing any during the period covered?

Just after checking some days in MARCH 2009 ( period where I posted RATINGS on here ....but at that time had not twigged how to use em!!!! I knew they were ap to reasonable standard though .....but for most looking at them it would be "hard" to see that!)......and the check on FAVOURITES on races rated was as follows -

Thoses were the only races I tackled those days........so plenty bets just with FAVS.
The time of race...the number of runners are shown.....and total PROFIT or LOSS is shown for each day.
The TOTALS for each of 4 STRATEGIES are shown below for the 4 days above
19.2885 -1.04 2.55 2.330674387
So over 20 points from 4 days with FAVS SO FAR in MARCH 2009.
Generally the system ratings are up to good standard ....IMO......so no signs YET that the STRATEGIES won't "work".
No idea how PREMIUM CHARGE will effect me.........Will be a while before I would be dragged into it I suspect.....Will deal with that IF it happens ....which it may well do.....
RACING is definitely becoming harder to rate IMO........mainly due to overseas trainers participating in BRITISH races...especially IRISH trainers. AW ...TURF and NH taken on by them. So "odd" results wil occur frequently ...but hopefully the system will still be operating to good standard due to many FACTORS that can be taken into account.

So roughly 38 points , after commission, over the above 4 days could have been achieved by BACKING and LAYING FAVS in WIN market.

Checked another 5 days in MARCH 2009 on rated races re above 4 STRATEGIES and cumulatively 59 points approximately over the 9 days checked in MARCH 2009 SO FAR!
In that period though I did not rate every race in BRITAIN.........so there were far fewer selections than other racing days when I rated races.......Therefore the average PROFIT per day being reduced over the 9 days in MARCH 2009 is no real surprise....... System still seems to be consistent re enabling "VALUE" selections to be made.
As I had a "stalker" in MARCH 2009 on the thread where I was posting ratings, then the results of checks on STRATEGIES in that period at the low odds end of market should justify my statement that I believed the ratings were up to a "good" standard in that period...........though I recognise it would be "difficult" for many to see. ( I know that at the higher odds end of market the system also did well in that period.......but it is good to see that the short odds ratings were also doing well too.....)
See no point in continuing the analysis work on previously rated races......re the STRATEGIES for FAVS/2ND FAVS/ 3RD FAVS...................as results are so consistent in 7 months of year where races were rated........and cannot see why the system ratings should not continue to be up to a "good" standard generally for future races! So STOPPING checking NOW!
Friend has at last surfaced ( he tends to hibernate a bit in winter!!!)........so hopefully when he visits on THURSDAY he will have "solved" a repair problem needing fixed! Between now and end of year I have got to attend to a number of matters that need to be dealt with......so still unlikely I will be in a position to fully concentrate on using system again until NEW YEAR!
Hope thread gives some "hope" for those striving to get a system for horse racing.
