craigg Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 This is something I've dabbled with before, going to have another look to see if there is any mileage in it. This is a market available on Betfair for each selection to be placed, they will be short priced but hopefully I'll achieve a high enough strike rate for this to be profitable. We'll start with a bank of 100 points. Today's Selections... Bath 2.15 Bathwick Emma to finish '1st or 2nd' Stake 10 @ 1.16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmphill Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Re: Favourite - To Be Placed 2nd at 1/2 Fav 100% so far then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigg Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 Re: Favourite - To Be Placed Well Bathwick Emma finishes 2nd for a return of 11.52 after commission, so a winning start. I'm going to make these selections into rolling accumulators until each group of selections achieves the equivalent of a even money shot or thereabouts. At this point I will bank and start again at 10% of bank. Starting bank: 100 units Current bank: 101.52 units Profit/Loss: +1.52 units Total staked: 10 units Yield: 15.2% W/L: 1/0 Today's Selection...

WorkingForTheEnemy Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Re: Favourite - To Be Placed Nice start Craig. Is there a profit mark or winners mark you're looking at before you pocket some profit? Be awful to hit a loser after 10 winners and have nothing to show for it.

craigg Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Re: Favourite - To Be Placed Cheers lads for the encouragement. WFTE, I plan to play these until I reach the equivalent of a even money shot or thereabouts. So for this series of bets I started with a stake of 10units, when I reach 10units profit then I'll bank and start again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigg Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 Re: Favourite - To Be Placed Cheap N Chic wins easily, which means we win as well. Unfortunately there was a non runner and this made the price a 1.10 shot as opposed to the 1.12 taken but it's still a winner. The bet returns a profit on the day of 1.60 after commission.

craigg Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Re: Favourite - To Be Placed There could be a bet today, depending on prices going out a little. The selection for today is basically too short, mainly due to the fact it's at York and a big name horse making it a bit of a false market. Hopefully things will become more sensible as the morning progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Re: Favourite - To Be Placed I'd say Souvenance to place @ 1.14 would be a suitable qualifier today Craig? Runs in the opener at Ayr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigg Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Re: Favourite - To Be Placed Still here Danny, just haven't fancied anything over the last few days. I have to be quite selective, an extremely high strike rate is required to make this profitable over time. I'm not going to force a bet that isn't there, just sit back and let them come to me. Nice going today but there was just too many unknown factors for me. Hopefully there will be 1 or 2 tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
