Filters at the moment:
I am not betting on slow or heavy tracks.
only bet on races between 1000 and 2000 m.
min 8,max 15 runners.
dont bet on last race


you were going OK with me until the last condition - that smells a bit like data back fitting for me and you have to be wary of that as there is no last race - its continuous. Some people claim the last race if different - I'm not so sure - it could have been in the old days when people were at the track.
If anything i think it could be the easiest as there can be a favourite bias as people look to get out.


However if you can maintain a 16% POT consistently you are in the top 1% of punters in the world.

The simplest way to improve that would be to place your bet where you get the most advantage - thus look for early fixed and also use BF.

Also carefully examine your " run of outs" sequence - if you have had a quite long and unexpected sequence somewhere it will be telling you that down the track your SR will " revert to the mean" and will reduce - thus putting pressure on the POT.
