Hi
I concede that my data to date is via the tote. If a $2 Betfair horse is odds on at the tote the SR should be even higher. A $1.90 tote fav wins 50% of the time, a $1.80 tote fav wins 52% of the time and $1.70 fav 50%. Thus the lay return would be less (maybe the rurmored 20%). It is then a question of assertaining what is the true difference between the tote and Betfair.
I expect a wild ride as we only have a strike rate of between 16 and 30% which one can expect up to 40 outs.
This morning I looked at adding the 4th and 5th fav which should compensate the lower return on betfair and seems to soften the wild ride.
I finally think that my bot is set now (a few false starts this morning but cruising now) I have transferred sufficient funds into my account and then have complete faith in my calcs. If I don't some light then I'll cut my losses.

Hi Beton,
Correction to that setting relating to Lay book %

Should read 94% not 107%
