Trotter Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 One thing I have noticed doing this for the last few days is that it helps to put a framework on the race even if you don't pick what appears to be the 'value' bet I've had 3 consecutive winners in the Nap of the Day comp but I don't think any of them would have counted ........ but merely by going through this process it helped me pick the winner Like today I had Notation in the 2.35 at Southwell ....... wasn't one of the value horses but in looking at the race for this thread I concluded that none of the 'value' horses were going to win and Notation was my top rated and the most likely winner.

Wildgarden Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 510 Wolverhampton tan 2nd out of weaker race so that isn't a selection and I don't like secret up in distance again. Swissal started badly last time and has place chances but odds are too low on bookies compared to 15 on offer at the exchange. Taking 15.0 win and seeing if place is decent tomorrow. Requinto dawn won today that beat it must be faith, so Frank's this one's run and is also a win pick at 5-1 paddy power or may wish to wait for bog tomorrow.

I agree, this is a very promising topic. As always I am doing a fair bit of research before committing any hard earned cash. At the moment I have adopted a slightly different approach, I have taken my top rated selection and if they are not in the top 2 in the betting then I have assumed they are value bets. For the 2019/20 season (handicap chases only) there were 257 selections with 41 winners with a LSP of 127 points and an AE of 1.48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking along similar lines ........ concentrating on your top rated horses using whichever rating system you're developing. As I said above if your rating system isn't pointing up winners then it's not working ! Stage 2 is then to look for 'value' amongst your top rated horses I'm sticking to the AW handicaps for the time being and also a bit wary of class 6 races so I've got one race today .......the 6.40 at Wolves. Looked at it last night but was waiting for confirmation of a non runner which affects the prices of all the other horses ........ now confirmed and down to a field of 7 which isn't ideal Wildgarden, MCLARKE and richard-westwood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
