I bet this was most days UB - the bot bets a few systems & I scan most races for other opportunities.

I usually know after a couple of races whether I am 'off or on' & discipline can be an issue at times but there are a couple of reasons why I find it a good way to go which are that as you say, some things just cant be programmed, it helps pass the time & keeps the grey matter active & I have picked up on plenty of things over the years which I wouldn't have if simply crunching numbers.

Oh & a 'stop loss' is imperative IMHO,
