    Hmm, assume I am down from the original starting point. Never guess the answer to something that you can actually measure. Every selection is posted pre race time so anyone that bothers to check all results will see nice profit margin.
    This game depends very much on how big of a sample size you take. Go with the last 2 days then prob evens at best I'd say. Go back as far as sat and throw in that "lucky" 26.0 winner and you are in profit. ( I did have a PM telling me that without the few lucky winners that I would have nothing but losers. How do you answer that :) lol )Go back right to the start of this thread ( I dont bother keeping running total now anymore as too much trouble ) but total profit will be in around the 20 to 22% margin for between 400 and 500 bets. If the system didn't work then I'd probably be at work now. Instead sipping coffee 2 doors up from a Willy shop, biding my time until he drops his pants. Same place as yesterday cause after a stinker of a day he will greet me with open arms and a smile. :) He may win again today but I know that cause I am the right side of the odds then it is only a matter of time before I wipe that smile off his face.
    If you looking to know what your profit margin from a system is then you need min of 1000 before you can go saying you have an edge or you can start planning early retirement. As a rule of thumb a good estimate is 100 x Avg odds of your selections will get you 95% certainty that you are within 5% of your true profit/loss margin. So avg odds of 30 then you need mini of 3,000 selections before you know where you stand. I have just over 16,000 in my database so happy enough with stats so far to keep going after these nags.

    Thanks for the reply. Best of luck with it and Ill follow with interest

    First bookie that matches the price I'll add it but that doesn't mean price is not available at other books.  Some of the time better price might be available at some other book but you moving into arb territory then and thats not good for life expectancy of an account.  I try to get at least 3 or 4 mths out of an account.  Most of these I post will I will have wrapped up in doubles trebles, patents etc on as many books as I can get with the sole aim being as much ££ as I can get on without making it look too obvious.  If you think multiples are only good for a bookie and not a punter then that is a myth. If you have value ( however small ) in a each of 2 or more bets then you wrap them in as many combos as you can and hammer em.

    How did I get 15.0 on Balko Des Flos?
    I posted it around 9:30am this morn.
    Here is the price history from odds checker
    https://www.oddschecker.com/horse-racing/cheltenham/14:50/winner/bet-history/balko-des-flos

    10:26am Paddy was still giving 15.0
    15.0 was available on 365 until well after 12 noon

    There are two types of punters in this world , fast ones and poor ones :)

    Stuck a few quid EW on Dawn Shadow. You got me winners in 3 out of 4 races today, thanks very much.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,386 ✭✭✭mayoman1973


    As for them price trackers. Make sure you not using them on same PC as you betting from. And if you not paying for the service then its waste of time, you need live data.

    lol, true.  If someone has to charge for their tips then question must be asked why they cant make ££ from them themselves.  However information is money and only if it is up to date.  And you can only get that by putting your hand in your pocket

    Baaaaadddd day.  Dont think did too bad with the ones on the forum here , maybe a small profit,  but with the ones I did on top of these ( The really 'high value' ones ) just tanked. Need a good rub of variance tomorrow or will be dining down in the local soup kitchen. Not looking to beat the odds ( as that is impossible ) just to get level with them. Dont think I posted 'young master' in the 5:30 but had the kids college fund on em..... :(     FFS.   
    Heres one for tomorrow..  Close to being an arb now so thread carefully

    Sayo is still good at 51.0  but note 365 are paying 1/4 the odds on the place,  Paddy and willy only paying 1/5.  He still good value to do with the latter two but obviously 365 is first port of call

    in short this 13:30 is looking like any nag bar the fav.  Have layed him at 2.20 but if you can pick any other with 365 ew then best option to back em.

    good one to finish with ... Sometimes the hot fav wins,  sometimes he doesn't.  Hope ye got on either sayo or farclas.
    7 out of 8 nags backed ... 14 pts staked.  About 28pts won there.  Probs pulls me just north of break even for cheltenham 2018.   Enjoy Paddys and the few quid won just there :)   Now heading cross the pond for the rugby ... if only that was as easy to call :(
