betting tips question

hotspur

Hi guys, I'm not really a follower of this forum but I'm somebody who is interested in the nature of betting "tips" for academic reasons (I study gambling), my question is - by any chance have any of you logged the results of each of the races tipped in the new tips sticky and have a % of which were winning bets? Thanks.

Hi Hotspur,

The answer is no. The tips success/failure has not been logged on an on-going basis. A lot of posters here will follow a certain system(s) though. Some might involve the tracking of certain horses in certain races in certain conditions.

We will be starting a competition soon, in conjunction with the Cheltenham Festival, where the results (win/loose/place) will be tracked. I like your idea though, it might not be a bad idea.

If you do a search on the word Competition on this forum you will see where tips have been tracked over a defined period of time.

Thanks Hobart, I appreciate the reply

Crumbs

I did a little totting up...

In the tips sticky, there are 11 winners and 32 losers from 43 tips. A strike-rate of 25.58%

Taking the official starting price of each winner, the tips would yield a total level-stakes profit of 9.91 for unit stakes on each selection (a return of 123.05%).

However, some tips were given as "each-way" selections and taking this into account, it becomes 11 winners, 4 places and 28 losers. Again at official starting prices, the tips would yield a total profit of 16.10 for unit stakes (a return of 137.44%).

As I'm sure you know, this is a very small sample space but I think there is some merit to these results rather than just being positive variance.

Kudos to Crumbs and his Calculater!!

Good work Crumbs. That's a pretty good return.

And lets not forget the many winners posted outside of the sticky. Feel like trawling through those Crumbs??

Good work sir, yeah it's still a small sample but you guys may have some good tipsters here It will be interesting reading when the sticky has been going longer.

Crumbs

Pity I went and sullied the record today with a shocker of a tip. Anyway, I suppose I'll keep track of the results over the longer term.
