After a profitable and largely consistent 2016 i've been on the most horrendous losing run since around 27th Dec 16. Im doing what i always do using a combo of RP figures and stats that i compile consistently myself. Im fine with losing runs normally as i know in time things will come right but never experienced anything like this. Starting to think theres something else wrong. I bet exclusively on Nov Hrds. Could it just be ground conditions? Or something else? Any ideas?

By:

My strike rate is high as i concentrate on the horses below 10.0. Often backing 2 in a race. I prefer betting like this as generally losing runs are short. Im generally making an even money bet and win more races than i lose. Obviously my POT is low, but my stake is high and i have consistently made a study profit in the past.

sorry you posted before me Laugh

For me that's just one of them bad runs, i doubt anything has changed, the ground is what you'd expect for time of year.

I hope it comes good for you Wink

why not the ground?
By:

When: 23 Jan 17 21:05
I think you may have the answer BH. The weathers been drier than usual this winter so perhaps stop or cut your stakes until serious rain appears (as it must). On the basis that were due a lot of rain I think theres value in backing soft ground performers who havent enjoyed the unseasonal ground for Cheltenham.
By:
Bighand
When: 23 Jan 17 21:09
Surely less rain, better ground would make results more consistent, as in the summer
By:
lordnoise
When: 23 Jan 17 21:13
Perhaps but my take has always been that most NH horses have been bred for softer ground.
By:
stridingedge
When: 23 Jan 17 21:15
and the market doesn't factor this in?
By:
lordnoise
When: 23 Jan 17 21:19
Theres a lot of uneducated punters out there and horses with winning figures (no matter the ground) by there names will always win out with them.
By:

I just had a look at favs in these races evens or less from nov-feb inclusive

a return of about 4% on good or faster and a loss  of about -3.6% backing at BFSP

obviously the sample size of the former is much smaller but the difference in conditions is what#s being cited as difference in results in the opposite direction.
By:

All i can say for sure is that i was far more consistent in the summer
By:

When: 23 Jan 17 21:21
and a loss  of about -3.6% backing at BFSP

apologies should have been on ground softer than good
By:
Bighand
When: 23 Jan 17 21:24
Also seems to me (and i have no stats to back this up), that well backed horses seem to be winning everything atm, even more than normal
By:
Bighand
When: 23 Jan 17 21:26
your stats indicate what I'm saying re the ground but not in a dramatic way
