IGNORE ALL THE C RA P RE NON-QUALIFYING RACES ETC



WILL POST RESULT OF CHECK ON THE "NEW IDEA2 STRATEGY AFTER TEA.....
By:
DFCIRONMAN
When: 21 Sep 11 17:49
Easy to check that one ....as only 2 races with 10 runners....and no "qualifying" favs/JFS/CFS below line or ranked above the line that are at value odds up to the 3rd top rated.....etc

NO PROFIT....NO LOSS on STRAT that day T2R

For the original STRATEGY re LAYING the one above lowest odds one that RANKED as VALUE.....only 1 selection in the 2 races

4.15 Imtihan   and it did not win or place

Oooooooooopssssssssssssssssssss it was 10-1 SP ....so that would not have been lay...


Bobby Gee  would be the LAY ...at 4-1 SP ...did not win or place.

Please note that there was an ERROR in spreadsheet that was repeated on doing calculations on the BACK TO LAY FAVS/JFS/CFS below the line or above line( up to 4th top rated) where odds were value to lay.....


Figures now are
PROFIT   COMMISSION   NET PROFIT

525.38    -161.269   ....364.11



I knew figures were too good to be true !CryCryCryCry

Sorry for misleading post!

In that day above, I notice there was another Fave classed as below the line, and he would have been a successful lay!   Also, there was a Joint Fave who was under the line in another of those races that day, and he was also a good lay.   This Bobbin System rocks, I reckon...

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.

In a 12 runner race....if a horse is RANKED top rated ...and the SP odds are 5-8FAV.......would you consider this a VALUE BACK to LAY bet?

Currently checking applying similar STRATEGY re BACK to LAY any FAV/JF/CF in top 3 rated that is at VALUE odds considering its' RANKING.......

There were 6 races that had 10 runners, and had a "qualifying" fav/jf/cf in top 3,  that were rated on 15 JULY 2008.....and applying same BACK to LAY strategy the following figs obtained ...


PROFIT    COMMISSION
   
406.52    -25.326


As "expected" the system should do better with this BACK to LAY strategy than the other one......as it was devised to get winners at good odds ......and not to LAY horses....

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"!

Possibly JAN or FEB??????

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.

Instead of BACKING and LAYING IR STRATEGY above.....just backing the 59 selections to WIN, without laying IR gives the following PROFIT and COMMISSION thereon :-

PROFIT    COMMISSION
   
3481    -349.05



ROI = 53%




May well be a "fluke" result due to in that 9 days there were many winners ( 24 from 59 selections).
By:
DFCIRONMAN
When: 23 Sep 11 17:23
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.
By:
DFCIRONMAN
When: 23 Sep 11 20:52
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".
By:
DFCIRONMAN
When: 23 Sep 11 21:18
I knew there was something WRONG re NUMBER of WINNERS ABOVE LINE and BELOW LINE........Error due to me extending figs re WINNERS into wrong column etc etc


There were 16 WINNERS at good odds( meeting criteria for this STRATEGY) ABOVE THE LINE and only 8 BELOW the LINE!

So the system had did it job of "finding" high odds winners in upper part of RATINGS.....
By:
DFCIRONMAN
When: 25 Sep 11 16:14
Now checked APRIL 2008 rated races applying a STRATEGY backing horses meeting certain criteria from those ABOVE THE LINE and following results indicated using £100 stakes for each selection :-

NET PROFIT AFTER COMMISSION £ 33,524.15

NUMBER SELECTIONS 1,167

ROI 28.72%


NUMBER DAYS RATED 26


So STRATEGY still "working" well on races checked SO FAR.

When: 18 Oct 11 10:26
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!!!!!

Gl with bets.

Got enough energy up to check out applying similar STRATEGY re BACKING and LAYING 3rd favourites that are at "value" odds , using RANK position in ratings and the odds at BF SP.........and now it looks like this "value" based strategy "works" with system ratings on FAVS/2nd FAVS/3rd FAVS.......both in WIN and PLACE markets.

for above 4 STRATEGIES I am interested to hear whether the STATS above indicate the system, combined with "VALUE" STRATEGY, is demonstrating a STRONG EDGE ........MEDIUM EDGE....or SMALL EDGE.


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"!

Lord Bobbin has stirred me to check out these STRATEGIES.....so he/she in particular should be interested in results of checks SO FAR!

GL with bets today.

DFC, your question. Is this the Holy  Grail   certainly not  zip will give you  2 losers  ever day starting tomorrow  and it is nothing  to do with the Holy Grail  by the way my take on the  Holy  Grail is something us mere mortals cannot achieve .

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 !

2 lays a day is well short of 8 zip!DevilLaugh

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.......
