The Upper Classes (a BTP specialisation thread)

[billy the punter]

Through my "Personal Trends" thread I found that my results are far superior when concentrating on the higher class of handicaps (Class 3 and above). The difference in strike-rates and profit/losses were staggering. I will be continuing my 'all flat bets' thread in the same way, but will be treating the races that have caused be problems with a little more caution. The research I carried out took an age and if no one objects, in order for the continuation of the research to be easier, I would like to add all my Class 3 and above handicap bets on a seperate thread. I will put singles, F/C's and T/C's on this thread - just as long as they are in Class 3 handicaps or higher. Three seperate running totals will be kept on this thread (singles, F/C's and T/C's). Like I've said numerous times, I prefer these races and my personal staking is always higher on these events. That was the point of my original thread, to highlight strengths. Actually I'm not sure I want to see the results of this research, if this thread doesn't show healthy profits then I'm going to be down the job centre the Monday after the November Handicap! Every Class 3 or higher bets I've selected since the start of the flat season will be on this thread and that will be the case for the rest of the season. It will be a far easier way for me to see the differences between the two classes. No pens, papers and calculators. Many thanks. :ok
