Also one of my golden rules is never use historical data provided by anyone, always collect it yourself even if it takes months or a year to collect enough to analyse.

I have no idea if the history files are correct as I collect my own numbers but BSP is very hard to beat for the average punter (even those who know what they are doing). BSP is very efficient.


Hi UB,
Yes, I accounted for deductions for late scratchings.
I used a flat 10% commission deduction even though that is the worst case scenario. Yes, BSP is very hard to beat, but the filters I had in place did show a profit long term.
