I only found out recently that you can request a course by course breakdown of your P+L. Mine turned up yesterday and I would thoroughly recommend anyone serious about their IR betting getting theirs done. A lot of the results were as expected, but there were some real eye openers too. Fascinating stuff imo.

best course is = [ ]
worst course is = [ ] tar |

You can do this yourself using the sort function on excel. I would recommend doing it aswell. Bellewstown was a scene of carnage for me. I don't bet there any more.

rcing, it was an overall P+L but the vast majority of my stuff is IR.

In reply to Delta it depends what you mean by best and worst - in terms of pure profit or profit in relation to turnover?
|
|
By:
john92 , can the excel sheet that betfair send show bets before the race starts and in play bets ?
|
|
By:
ok thanks for the reply gerard
|

By:
As Gerard says it can't be split, but all of my bets are IR bets anyway. To do this I think you would have to start your own spreadsheet or records from scratch.
I worked a profit per race figure rather than profit/turnover. |

ok thanks john

pure profit

By:
By pure profit, two courses that are amongst my least favourites to play! Newcastle (a result skewed by one big win) and Lingfield. The latter in spite of the rancid dog racing, ATR/BF video pictures and legions of track playing competitors. Just the sheer volume of racing there I guess. Courses with the best winnings to volume ratio were, unsurprisingly for a stay at home player, the high quality RUK tracks - Cheltenham, Newbury etc. The worst track % wise, despite it being RUK was Thirsk - answers on a postcard.....

You never tire of that one do you? McCoy like persistence imo.

By:
A good thread.
Find out which courses your winnings are below average, so you know where you are due a win and can up your steaks. |
|
By:
gerard did you sent a request to info@betfair.com ?
|
|
By:
I found Redcar very hard going, probably due to the camera angle. All my best tracks were Irish - Kilbeggan, Clonmel, Down Royal. I had bet in around 500 Kempton all weather races and made £2. I had made a decent amount at Lingfield aswell but the profit per race figure was very low.
Most tracks depend on your betting style though. If you can get on the frontrunner at Thirsk then it is hard to lose from that point. |

Indeed Rollo - can't wait for the new flat season to unload a few full banks on some Thirsk claimers.

Lol Biscar,hopefully one day i'll get to see you in action
|
|
By:
It takes a special horse to win at Toaster mucho, the track is uphill all the way round
|
|
By:
Thinking of packing the game in Biscar,No money in the markets
|
|
By:
Don't believe it mucho there was 29m in a market the other week
|
|
By:
Thanks Gerard just fired off an email to them, been thinking of getting this info for ages. As you point out it will be crucially important. Cheers
|
|
By:
If they refuse, ask again, they will send out on your second request.
They say stuff like you don't have a keyholder account. |
|
By:
Are you able to request a course-by-course breakdown or do you ask for full results for certain period and break it down yourself in Excel? Cheers
|

May I refer you to the opening line of this thread Duncan.

Fascinating stuff imo. ive had one every year, it certainly gives your head a good shake up thats for certain. |
