Morning News – 2022-10-19

Well, yesterday was certainly better than Monday with all 6 Investment Betting selections winning (11.64 points profits (after a 2% commission) to the 6 points bet) and the only Intelligent Betting selection also winning.

Or, rather, there will be a Morning News but I won't be be emailing it out; If you want to see it you can access it at the front page of FocusRatings.com This is because I am doing some work on my email server and I'm not sure when I'll get that finished (although I am having a very early start.)

Morning News – 2022-10-18

focus-ratings-morning-newsGood morning... Apart from a stonking day for Portfolio Betting... It was a pretty blank day all round. That happens sometimes but, it all balances out in the end. The work on the Top Trainers eBooks is still ongoing but will be finished today. It is not that it is a lot of work for me to do... It is more that the scripts that generate all the statistics take an awful long time to run.

Morning News – 2022-10-16

focus-ratings-morning-newsGood morning... So, yesterday I started the process that creates the Intelligent Betting Top Trainers (and Top Jockeys) series of eBooks. This will take a few days to complete. If it all works on time then I should be able to re-generate these once every three months. At some point next week I shall be sending out a mass email letting people know what they can get for free from Intelligent Betting and what goodies they can get for the full. paid service. Obviously, the main attraction for many people will be the System Selections. Intelligent Betting Recent Results Summary – New System ib001 Click on the image to see it full size. Using a £200 bank and betting to £10 level stakes, over just under 7 weeks, we have increased the from £200 to £321.54 (assuming a Betfair commission of 2%.) Thus, a £200 bank should generate a tax free income of about £50 a month. Or… 25% of the initial bank.

focus-ratings-morning-newsGood morning... Another good day, yesterday... Especially for Intelligent-Betting and Investment Betting. And I actually managed to get a decent amount of work done. Over the weekend I should be able to start running the Top Trainers and Top Jockeys eBooks. The code takes two days to run but, now that I have moved it to a new server, it shouldn't interfere with any other service.

focus-ratings-morning-newsGood morning... A few IT problems yesterday wasted most of my day sorting them out. Today I am migrating an important database to a new server. The existing database will remain in place but the new one. being on a new server, will allow me to run scripts against it without slowing the main server down (and, thus, causing the ratings to go out late.) Fiddly work but it has to be done.

Morning News – 2022-10-13

focus-ratings-morning-newsGood morning... So, here are some updates on what I was up to yesterday... Project 1 - Compass Ratings - I have moved Compass Ratings to a new server. The problem was that it was sharing some of it's code with Advance Ratings (on which it is based.) This made it hard to update it without risking breaking Advance Ratings. Project 2 - Intelligent Betting - The first stage of my maintenance work on Intelligent Betting seems to have worked. I have automated the process that generates the daily selections. This will save me some time every day. For the last month they have been running at a 57.1% Strike Rate and a POI of 35.40% 2022-10-13--1665642768_1098x498_scrot

focus-ratings-morning-newsGood morning... So, here are some updates on what I was up to yesterday... Project 1 - Focus Ratings Daily Bets - For the new strategy for selection the selections for the Daily Bets I am writing some code so that the selections come out in the evening before the race day. The 6 strategies that I use are... 1). Basic Race Type 2). 130% - Confidence 3). Clear Favs 4). Unique Jockey/Unique Trainer 5). Winner LTO 6). 5 runners or less Project 2 - Compass Ratings - I am still struggling to get everything ready for Wednesday's meeting at Happy Valley. I'll keep plugging away today (with my fingers crossed.) Project 3 - Intelligent Betting - The first stage of my maintenance work on Intelligent Betting seems to have worked. Yesterday the files went out at 6:38 am which is about 3 hours earlier than normal. I spent some time checking out the Trainer Win/Place Strike Rate code. If you are a FREE member of Intelligent Betting you only get the 1st meeting of the day but, if you are a full member you get every meeting. 2022-10-10--1665380855_665x358_scrot Basically, it shows you, every day, the Trainer Win/Place strike rate (in Trainer Win Strike Rate for that course) for each course that has a meeting today. It also shows the Overall Win/Place Strike Rate for all courses. This helps you identify the local expert Trainers - also known as Course Specialists. An important tool!

Project 1 - Focus Ratings Daily Bets - I have devised a new strategy for selection the selections for the Daily Bets. Unfortunately there are no selections today but the six micro systems should work together to give us decent, high strike rate selections.

I'll try to get it done for Wednesday or maybe even tomorrow for Wednesday's meeting at Happy Valley.
