Hi, I'm thinking of adding a backing strategy to my betfair trades.
This is:
Back horses in any non handicap e.g. Maiden races that are odds 1.7 or below for 2.5 in play
So far I've won one and lost one and my next bet is likely to be Caldwell Diamond 12:50 at Hereford.
Sometimes it won't match for 2.5 and sometimes it will only match when its losing towards the end. I'll also look to avoid races where there is a second favourite with odds less than 3.0.
I wonder if this would be profitable long term.
Anyone tried this or like the idea let me know :)

Try your "strategy" for 1 year. Post your profit and Loss after a year, only then will you have an idea if it's worth going with. Good luck

Try it out for small steaks for a decent period of time. In the end you'll find NOTHING works on backing or laying horses unless you've got inside info. When you've lost, turn your attention to football where the story is totally different. This World Cup is offering amazing opportunities if you only look hard! Good luck anyway.

The problem with this type of thing is that the losers will always be matched IR but the potential winning bets may not be.

I would be 99% sure that would not work. There are enough people with complete databases of UK&I racing who can run that kind of strategy over a number of years history on their computers and if any such strategy worked it would have been found by now - and hence the value destroyed. Just my take and gl trying. |

2.5 is too low to make a profit, especially with pre-race keep bets. Someone here probably has the numbers.

I prefer comebacks at higher odds, e.g. 8; 15; 20; 40; 100
