Good luck today Sportz, and thanks for your ratings. This time of year seems to be when you hit form, something about the big races.

Miss Fantabulous was SO CLOSE to being 2nd top rater!!! Oh well, hope someone backed it anyway.

Don't know. It hasn't been that great so far today. :o

Wow! What a cup! The top 2 raters both late scratchings!!!

Managed to find the trifecta with the next 4 so that was good, but boy, what a shock!

Really lacking in confidence at the moment. Did something really dumb on Saturday. I tinkered a bit with the usual rating method and it cost me. But more importantly, it cost anybody on here who used those betting strategies I outlined last week, as it meant that Miss Fantabulous was only rated 3rd, not 2nd. That was the difference between a loss and a big win! Sorry. :(

What do they say. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

I seldom if ever use anyones tips,systems or strategies but on Saturday out of curiosity I dutched miss fantabulous and bellini rose after looking at your ratings.They were the two value horses from your top three ratings in that particular race.The other was under your predicted odds.

Having said that I prefer to select my own horses I still enjoy reading all of the posts in this forum and follow the results with interest.

Anyway you certainly steered me onto a very good winner in that race.Ty.

Thanks for that.

I backed her too, and there were probably some others who did as well. I'm just disappointed for anybody else that missed out because of my tinkering.

The sooner we get over this EI thing, the better. A real lack of quality racing today (apart from Moonee Valley). I couldn't even find any suitable races at Morphettville. Likewise with Rockhampton, and I ended up including a couple of races from Kembla Grange where the horses haven't run for 2 months. Risky. :o

There were a couple of small errors in the results summary for the three strategies that I posted earlier in the month. Anyway, I've fixed them and updated the figures now that the month is up.

Strategy 1:

Aug: Races 39, Wins 24 (62%), Out $2258, In $2581.4, Profit $323.40 (14.3%)
Sep: Races 52, Wins 31 (60%), Out $3029, In $3636.70, Profit $607.70 (20.0%)
Oct: Races 34, Wins 24 (71%), Out $1997, In $2384.40, Profit $387.40 (19.4%)
Total: Races 125, Wins 79 (63%), Out $7284, In $8602.50, Profit $1318.50 (18.1%)

Strategy 2:

Aug: Races 28, Wins 19 (68%), Out $1628, In $1945.20, Profit $317.20 (19.5%)
Sep: Races 32, Wins 21 (66%), Out $1913, In $2486.70, Profit $573.70 (30%)
Oct: Races 14, Wins 10 (71%), Out $855, In $833.40, Loss $16.60 (2%)

Strategy 3:

Sep: Races 8, Wins 6 (75%), Out $480, In $864, Profit $384 (80%)
Oct: Races 4, Wins 4 (100%), Out $240, In $392, Profit $152 (63.3%)
Total: Races 22, Wins 16 (73%), Out $1320, In $2052, Profit $732 (55.5%)

Okay, I've done a bit more research. I decided to test out a couple of different staking methods on the betting strategy races, because those are the races I think are most suitable for backing the top 2 raters. Firstly, I went over all the strategy 1 selections and I bet exactly the same amount per race as I did with the original rules, but this time I simply saved on the shorter priced selection and I bet all of the rest on the longer priced runner. And then, I also worked out what the result would have been just using plain old level stakes - $30 on both selections no matter what price.

Here are the results:

Strategy 1 - Out $7284, In $8602.50, Profit $1318.50 (18.1%)
Back/Save - Out $7284, In $8610.60, Profit $1326.60 (18.2%)
Level stake - Out $7500, In $8883.00, Profit $1383.00 (18.4%)

So there you go. 3 very different staking methods and the end result was VERY similar with level stakes coming out just slightly in front. Interesting.



And here are some more stats from the strategy 1 races since August.

Top rated: 125, Wins 51, Return $147.20, Profit $22.20 (17.8%)
2nd rated: 125, Wins 28, Return $148.90, Profit $23.90 (19.1%)

Shortest priced: 126*, Wins 50, Return $139.70, Profit $13.70 (10.8%)
Longest priced: 124, Wins 29, Return $156.40, Profit $32.40 (26.1%)

(* one race had equal priced runners, so I included both of them in the shortest priced category)

That's certainly food for thought. 26.1% profit for the longer priced runner as opposed to just 10.8% profit for the shorter price. Something to look at for the future.

Now here's another betting strategy to look at. It's similar to Strategy 3, but not as selective. It's an idea I've been looking at for a while and it seems to work.

Strategy 4:

(1) Concentrate on races where the C/W RT selection and the FRM RT selection are two different horses. There must be one sole selection for each method, no equal selections.

(2) Back both runners, providing that they are the first two horses listed in the ratings. Also, the top rater must have at least 30 points and the 2nd top rater has at least 15 points.

(3) Again, only bet if the top two ratings add up to no more than 65 points.

(4) Bet the same amount on both selections. For the purpose of this exercise, we'll bet $30 on each runner, so we're betting roughly what we bet on the other three strategies.

Here's a recent example:

As you can see, Marching was the C/W RT selection and Barbaricus was the FRM RT selection, and they were the top two rated runners in the race. This is the type of race we're looking for with this strategy.

Unlike the other strategies, we're betting equal amounts on both runners. This means that on the odd occasion, you might actually lose money on a race despite getting the winner, but it also means that you can get a great result if a good priced selection comes home.

Results so far this season using Unitab divs:

Aug: Races 12, Wins 7 (58%), Out $720, In $912, Profit $192 (26.7%)
Sep: Races 14, Wins 10 (71%), Out $840, In $1305, Profit $465 (55.4%)
Oct: Races 12, Wins 11 (92%), Out $720, In $1278, Profit $558 (77.5%)
Total: Races 38, Wins 28 (74%), Out $2280, In $3495, Profit $1215 (53.3%)



After looking at the past 3 months results, I guess my recommendation would probably be to use the Strategy 1 selections in conjunction with either Strategy 3 or Strategy 4.
