I ran it through my data from the last ~9 months & showed a small loss around 2%, & actually it improved pushing out to 30% - would take a fair amount of live trialling to establish some workable parameters I would think.

norisk thanks for running that.

2% loss is not bad. What was the profit for 30% and can you give the profit/loss for 10%.

And one more test if possible. Do any odds ranges show a better profit ? ie under <$5 or ($5 to $20) or $20+

Hi UB, the 2% loss was for 30% $1 to $16 SP - will run a few scenarios & get back over the next few days

thank you

I looked at this today and decided on identifying all the horses in each race which were unders according to fixed prices or all three totes.

I then picked one horse to lay from those. I stuck to the les than $30 range.

So far its done well with 18 selections for no winners and the odds I am laying at are generally a lot less then the final betfair price (could trade out of them) and in some cases lower then all 3 totes.

from a sample of 1 week a month for the last 9 months
