The 7% plan
 

Hi y'all,

I've been perusing the P/L tables on the R & S website and it seems the Jockeys with really low win percentages, lose around 20% more of your hard earned, than their more talented counterparts. Makes sense?!

Thus my decision to lay them.

Rules

- Jockey must have an overall win percentage of less than 7%.

- Must have a win percentage at the track of lees than 7%

- SP $5 - 11


Todays qualifiers:

Rockhampton Jockeys - Harrison, Green

R1 - 10, 14
R2 - 10
R4 - 2

Benalla Jockey - Barry

R7 - 7

Let's see how we go.

I'll try to have it running for at least a month to see if there's any promise.

The Schmile

Just one qualifier today under the SP $5 - 11.

Rocky

R1 no.10 came 5th.

P/L +1

This system should work well.

I was doing a similar trial on Jockeys with a SR of less than 10% & it worked .

I also did a separate one for Trainers, less than 10% SR, this worked very well also.

I was using the stats from Racingandsports.

Hi Bhagwan,

DId you set a price limit on selections?

I noticed in the $6-11 bracket, the 7% jockeys lost around 40% on turnover,

I'm worried the longer priced commodities will blow out on Betfair.

The Schmile

I like the simplicity of this.Should work well.
Good luck with it.

Cheers Darkydog,

The only way I can see it falling down is if prices blow out on Betfair. So I will be monitoring them closely.

If anyone has info on the prices used to work out the Racing and Sports P/L tables, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi Schmile,
I targeted price range 15.00 & less for my exercise.

Betting 1.00 per 170.00

Hi Schmile,

In your rules you are using SP $5-$11 but how do you determine this before the race has run?

Where are you getting your prices from?

e.g. Morphettville Race 4#8 as $5.10 but SP was only $3.80 and therefore not a qualifier.

Hi Try Try again,

I'm using prices on ************** in the morning as a guide. They are a VERY rough guide!

I don't use bots and the like.

This is simply a trial system and I'm not putting money down.

I'm checking results on the Betfair racing zone website regarding starting prices.

http://racing.betfair.com.au/

Regarding:

$5.10 was the available lay price on betfair so it was a qualifier.

Hope this helps. If you have any suggestions as to how to streamline the selection process, that would be fantastic!

Cheers,

The Schmile

03/06/10 limited selections
 

Hi everyone,

I'm strapped for time and don't have a database to grab selections, so apologies on missing a few meetings again today.

I'm hoping we'll be able to get a rough guide over the month if this method is worth pursuing in the long term.

I am also building up a spreadsheet of jockeys with below par strike rates and will be happy to share this at the end of the month.

To reiterate my comments to Try Try Again, I'm not currently betting on this system, just testing it.

It's hard to believe the actual starting prices as compared to the ************** (w2b) market. All the horses were under $11 on the prepost ************** market with Race 6 no.1 at Northam quoted at $2.50 and starting at $12.50 on Betfair.

I'll have to find a better guide.

Only 3 qualifiers for 3 wins. It pays to have the cut off point as it would have been nasty with the no.5 in the 1st at Echuca saluting at around the $19 betfair.

Overall P/L + 5.4

I find races 1200m+ best to target because with the shorter sprint races , anything can fluke a win , especially 1000m events.

I think you will find an improvement in ones figures, just deleting 1000m races.

Thanks for the tip Bhagwan!

I'll note the 1000m races from now on.

Thought you might be interested
 

I found this website in my travels. They do reviews of betting systems in the UK. So far only 4 have been recommended from multiple tests and they do running blogs on the systems so you can see how a system is traveling.

I have no affiliation with the site, I just thought it might be of interest to System lovers.

You may have done yourself a dis-service,
C A Robertson has win% (8.9%/12%) current and overall
therefore not a contender, you would therefore be in profit.
Other non-contenders;
K Bradley (6%/10%)
L McGill (8%/2%)
R Cartwright (7.1%/8%)
All supposing I have interpreted the rules regarding win%
and that you derive these from the R&S site under meeting( jockey) stats.

Shalor

p.s For Ipswich, non-contenders;
E Kehoe (7.1%/6%)
B Hull (8.3%/6%)
But include B El-Issa (6.9%/6%) race 6 no 5 Zenton at 9.00BF(3rd)

Hi place2win,

Thank you so much for your message!

I've been using the 'free daily stats' section, not the jockey info on the meetings page and thus have missed vital data, especially the last 50/350 rides.

i will adjust selections accordingly and hopefully provide a more accurate picture of the true P/L moving forward.

If you have any idea of a better place to find pre-post prices that are closer to the mark I'm all ears.

Keep suggestions and ideas coming, the purpose of this thread is to find a profitable angle to follow.

Thank you once again for your input place2win, I greatly appreciate it!!

Kind regards,

My sincere apologies but I've realised I simply don't have the time to dedicate to this thread and thus will cease from today. I hope you've got something out of it.

As place2win advised, it is making a small profit if you stick rigidly to the <7% jockey mark and stay within the $5-11 range.

There was one selection for a third yesterday. To be honest I much prefer the thrill of going through the form and finding the winner.

Best of luck to all, Saturday is upon us and I for one am excited!

Thanks for the plan Schmile and good luck when you use it.

ps.Here ya go
Sandown
R 4 H 3 = Black and Bent (hurdle 3400m)
R 5 H 6 = Rowland

Is that the system with 'Dark' in its name?......

How could it possibly go wrong?!! ha ha

Thanks for the tips and have a super Saturday! Rowland

The Schmile

Meant to say that Rowland is a fav of mine being by the great Lonhro.

Nah.Havent got that one.I,ve got all the rest though.And performing as expected from that mob.

This one has the lowest loss on turnover of any form factor and wouldnt take much to bring it into consistent profit by getting best price.

Incidently the" Martin Gale Infallible Racing system" ( or as we in the trade call the "Nong Nong" system is holding its own against its commercial rivals.
