an interesting day to say the least...tryin to keep one step ahead is hard work weather is a mess again which dont help me or the horses..but thats ok |
By:
you are probably right ykick, but they only run 5 dog races, the only time they run 6 dog races is in opens, 4 is a fast starting railer, if 6 clears 5 on the run up, should be a good thing to be 1st or 2nd, the heats are on b ettor.comscottishderby starting at 8-15, well done with Ad Vitam too, you really are a breath of fresh air to this forum ie. very helpful and not a bad word to say about anybody. cheers.

Well done again ykick good luck.

6 non runners since 5.15 in the 6.45 at thurles..so much for reserves...12 runners 4 to place
|
By:
i must invent a new rule on non runners..does my head in..18 runners up to 5.15 in vicalus race..then 6 non runners just come out like that...vicalus suddenly favourite and 4 to place..he finishes 4th of course...blood boils...ok thats my rant for today

new rule going into week 3..betunfair place rules...
rule 3 no bet if race has 7 or less runners and 3 to place no bet if race has 15 or less runners 4 to place all other bets will stand. i had a case this week of only 6 runners and 3 to place..longterm this is not profitable. ok on we go... |
By:
Surely although Non Runners can affect the likelihood of a horse being placed under the Betfair system, this is reflected in it's greatly reduced BSP?
|
By:
i agree mightyfly,i will reconsider this rule..i must crunch some numbers....sometimes there is 2 selections or more in a race..that thurles 6.45 was a farce...it just annoyed me..6 horses taken out so late on.with 3 reserves missing out as well.....thanks for that...
|
By:
It was just a thought, although as you are backing the selections up with your cash, it wouldn't harm to leave them out yourself ( don't lay them ) but include them in your selections.
It may well end up that they show a profit. But if they don't it hasn't cost you anything. BTW, i'd be interested in the breakdown of horses with a BSP of above 2 and below 2, it maybe just me, but it seems to be that the majority trade over 2, which is surprising for so called improving horses. |

By:
Very well done, kicker! Impressive profits so far.
I've found that the profits are even greater by excluding horses which have only been raised one pound, though as you've said, it's probably better to wait until you have a sample of around 500 selections to see how it plays out. Looking forward to tomorrow! |

I think your new NR rule is a necessity Cow
Doing yourself no justice if not Lower end of markets in place done well again today Pamp - shocker Cadore & Mr Bloom - under or abt 2.0 & all NH - an aspect you making note of ? |
By:
Correct me if i'm wrong, it was set up to cover around 500 selections and then to analyze if their was any substance to be gained from the system.
I see no reason to adjust from the original plan and include all selections. If you are not comfortable in laying the ones above 4, don't. The same applies to races where N/R's affect the probability of a horse being placed as the BSP will be shortened accordingly. Again don't lay them with your cash if you are not comfortable with this. But do include in your overall statistics, as you have done with the over 4's BSP. Hopefully by the end of the process you'll be able to work out the merit as to whether or not they should be included or not. |
By:
@sweetheart
yes it would make sense longterm that the less a horse is penalised for not winning the more likely it will perform to its ability next run..the one pounders had their glory today....i will keep putting them in to get a good sample size...there is a long way to go in this....ROI cant be sustained at 20% surely..so that is a slight concern.but used with common sense how strong can it be in the win market...well at the moment from 183 selections 161 have lost.that equates to 87.97% win strike rate.used wisely its strong..even after 40.0 and 30.0 losers its still in profit double figures..if u cant make money outta this data u may as well pack up and leave the building |
By:
Not knocking this BTW, i'm interested in the whole process, but changing rules as you go along will not help overall because of a couple of setbacks with the N/R's scenario and before that a placed horse at well over 4's.
Keep up the good work, YKAMC |

No problem mate, i think your last post on the win basis, even taking the big knocks with the 2 at massive prices, that's still in profit. Show's it's worth persevering with and keeping a record of that as well.

Its your thread Cow & system
You do as you please My points were to keep track of what you were doing Flags for - Reduction in runners based on what you thought was going to happen the night before (I'd rather have runners on my side than a sml drop in BFsp which you playing in the place market) What surface was it run on NH/Flat/AW Cos in 500 races time you ain't gonna remember GL |
By:
@madhatters
i am keeping notes on it...this time of year it's prevalent..and mostly jump horses on fast ground..its nothing new...its better to put obstacles in front of a system to see hold it holds up longterm... |
By:
@madhatters again
all these selections are raw..no form is looked at..so what i might think will happen in the race the night before doesnt come into it..i actually work on the selections in the afternoons as the info is there 24 hours before raceday... |

Excellent spot ykick. Its interesting just how few of these horses actually win. Pity the handicapper doesn´t take note - I´ve always thought it was unfair to put a horse up for giving its all. And it encourages sharp practices...

u may notice stars next to selections from now on,this is for my own benefit in order to make it easier to identify low rises such as 1/2lbs when i post results.results from now on will also have these stars...this will make identifying patterns easier longterm.its quiet simple

Still watching with interest ykickamoocow.
Just looked at Black Cache Hereford 2.40 and noted it's not on your list. Is it me - have I missed one of rule changes? |
By:
@top2rated
its you black cache rise is from his win 2 runs back when he won not from his last run..be careful with this.this was a conditional race so he ran with no penalty next run which is correct...then he was reassessed by the handicapper on that win and put up.the handicapper has no mercy remember this..u could put him in as a selection.but i dont..i always look for this and prefer to keep them out...i try and stick to penalty for last run as much as i can...hope that helps |
By:
Thought it might be me
Cheers. |
By:
@toprated
always question my selections..it helps me as well as u...in fact it might be better if i ask u why u think he should be a selection..that way we can talk through it..also beware of horses running quickly off the back of a win.when they lose after that win the real penalty kicks in.they look like they are raised for not winning but are been assessed on the winning run..that happens quiet a lot..always check the last 2 runs..look for that win in there 2 runs back.check the dates between each run.take 5 days off for 5 day declarations....if a horse runs 7 days after its win it would of been entered 5 days before.it will carry the mandatory 7lbs penalty.then it is reassessed and could go up another 3+...having lost the race 7 days later the new rating kicks in and it looks like he has been raised again for not winning..i do waffle on.... |
