The Accountant Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Just wanted to give you all some stats to back up what we are at here & note two tweeks on the system. Here's the results for this system (with the tweek we're about to implement included) over the recent years. Please note that these results are all listed at Betfair SP and after a full discount of 5% for commission. (In the vast majority of cases people are getting 2% and in some cases 0% commission or using BOG, so these results below would be your worst case scenario profits wise). Year Win Backs Place Backs 2016 127.26 3.97 2017 157.97 73.51 2018 -50.89 -33.30 2019 128.36 -17.49 2020 123.82 -26.62 Total 486.52 0.07 So we have 4 huge years profits with the Wins and one loss making year in the last 5 (for reference 2015 & 2014 we also in profit). The places over the last 5 years are now at breakeven and now we are going to use this info to tweek where we are at. 1. From now on the selections will need to have a minimum WIN Betfair SP of 5.0 to be backed. Any selection below this at the off will be ignored. So I'm backing selections to WIN with a BSP minimum of 5.0. 2. We are going to stop backing & recording the "places" in the interim. I will stay recording these results in the back ground and we will revisit this in 2021. No backs on the Place market for selections at all. On this basis todays selections are; 12:20 LUDLOW Kakamora 13:45 NEWBURY Magic Of Light 14:10 LINGFIELD (A.W) Comeatchoo 14:45 LINGFIELD (A.W) Lady Pendragon 14:55 NEWBURY Atlantic Storm 16:00 KEMPTON (A.W) Touchwood 17:05 KEMPTON (A.W) Eagle One 17:35 KEMPTON (A.W) Shady McGee 18:05 KEMPTON (A.W) Delicate Kiss 18:35 KEMPTON (A.W) Tipperary Jack 20:05 KEMPTON (A.W) Combine alancraik, nenad986, Wildgarden and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have to wait until just before the off to back every selection so you could be sure it met the minimum price criteria or can you back the selections in advance but stipulate that the bet only stands if the criteria are met? Apologies if it's a dumb question, I'm mainly a sports bettor! Just wondered how one avoided backing the selections that are "too short".

I have same problem of so prices occasionally drifting out of 'system' price... But it's breakeven out of system price so okay for me. Accountant what is lsp with new rules?

Labrador Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Presumably you use a Bot to enter your bet at Betfair SP with the command that the bsp must not be below 5.0. This avoids sitting at the computer just before every selection runs, although the downside is perhaps that early bigger bookmaker prices are not taken. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 you can set sp min odds limit when backing at bfsp...just click 5 and let run(i think this is correct) harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Accountant Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hello, thank you for making contact and your interest in this. It is actually quite straighforward, you select to back your selection at Betfair SP. There is then a "Set SP odds limit" box to tick on the Betfair SP section and you simply put 5.0 in the option then for what odds you want the "min" to be. The system is built/recorded using BSP so I can't comment about other exchanges/using BOG etc. Wildgarden and harry_rag 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Accountant Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 There's some videos on youtube covering it for anyone that's having any issues. Yesterday was very nearly an excellent start. We won €134 on the day anyway for the 5 horses at 5.0 BSP or above to Win but Comeatchoo traded from 12.53 into 1.17 only to be beaten by a neck in a very tight finish.

aaronl Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 For anyone still struggling, you have to switch to desktop version to set minimum SP odds. It won't work on mobile version. Hope that helps harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Accountant Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 4 qualifiers yesterday but none came home. Bank is +€2,605 We're going into a quieter period now for us a few days. There's no racing today, 24th or the 25th. There may be selections posted between now and the New Year but its unlikely. There are a lot of horses being specifically primed for this period and the results can be erratic so we tend to leave off until the first days of the New Year. Thank you again for your interest & we'll be in touch again shortly. harry_rag and Flash_ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Accountant Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Hi All, A very Happy New Year to you all and best wishes for 2021. We're back live from today and looking to replicate last years and the previous years great returns. Just to recap, we looking to back for the Win only once the Betfair SP price is 5.0 or above. Any horse below this is being ignored. You can use the "set SP limit" at 5.0 on Betfair to ensure this is completed automatically for you. 12:40 LINGFIELD (A.W) Baba Reza 13:10 LINGFIELD (A.W) Ornate 13:40 LINGFIELD (A.W) Anisoptera 14:10 LINGFIELD (A.W) Too Friendly 14:25 FAKENHAM Perfect Moment 15:10 LINGFIELD (A.W) Cafe Sydney 15:50 WOLVERHAMPTON (A.W) Kyllukey 16:50 WOLVERHAMPTON (A.W) Inevitable Outcome 17:20 WOLVERHAMPTON (A.W) My Girl Maggie 17:50 WOLVERHAMPTON (A.W) Athmad 18:20 WOLVERHAMPTON (A.W) Odyssey Girl 19:20 WOLVERHAMPTON (A.W) Inaam 19:50 WOLVERHAMPTON (A.W) Revolutionary Man Flash_ and harry_rag 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Accountant Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 I haven't calculated it fully as yet but I am reasonably sure that if 2% was applied as the commission that 2018 would be breakeven or also most likely be in profit. Certainly if BOG was used in that year it would be in profit, this would mean that all of the last 5 years would be in profit. Obviously this would equally mean that the other 4 years results would be considerable higher again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
