Morning News – 04/05/2021

6620418Good morning...

Well...

I went out for a long walk around the lake yesterday.

I had a chat with the Ducks and then, another one with the swans.

The both seemed to agree with me but, just to make sure,

I did pop out to my local PMU (if you don't know what this is, you should read this... Why a PMU isn't your average bookies)

And I did come to a conclusion; I think that it is the right one.

I am now going to forget continuing with my strategy to come up with a combined betting strategy based upon R8 and, instead, I will use what I have learned to do the same thing with R9.

R9

Yesterday there were 13 R9 rated races.

The performance of the top rated R9 horses is as follows...

Bath - 13:00 - Grand Canal - 2nd (Beaten by 3/4 of a length. I know that that doesn't help us but it does show that it was a near miss over an 11 furlong race.)

Kempton - 13:50 - Adjali - 1st @ 2.62 ISP (2.63 BSP.) We could have also place bet Adjali for 1.67 BSP for the place.

Bath - 14:11 - Secretfact - 5th - No joy here.

Curragh - 14:35 - Twighlight Payment - 3rd - Had we win backed this horse but also place backed it, we would have lost the win part of the bet but we would have got 2.70 BSP for the place which would have made us an overall profit.)

Had we dutched the top two rated horses, the Broome win would have made us a profit. I'm not really there yet but, Place Dutching the top three rated horses (there were only 3 R9 rated horses) would have been even better - all 3 top three rated horses got placed. It's really all about the opportunity to profit that matter.

Beverley - 14:56 - Highlight Reef - No joy here.

Kempton - 15:00 - Saint De Reve - 3rd.

Curragh - 15:10 - Champers Elysees - 4th

Beverley - 15:31 - The Vegas Raider - 4th

Kempton - 15:35 - Miss Farage - PU

Kempton - 16:10 - Fidelio Vallis - 1st @ 2.62 ISP

Curragh - 16:20 - Ace Aussie - NR

Windsor - 17:21 - King Victor - 1st @ 1.80 ISP

Warwick - 18:00 - Hotter Than Hell - 5th

Do you see my combined betting strategy; where we can have more than one bet on a race, perhaps different types of bet on a race and, overall, make a profit?

This is how I do my own betting (living in France I'm not allowed to bet on UK or IRE racing.) I tend not to bet the horse, I like to bet the race; multiple bets on a single race. I very rarely have a losing day (although I don't get many races to bet upon) - I explain that at... Bet the Race, Not the Horse.

It works for me in France; it can work for you in the UK (or Ireland) just as well.


Task List...

In order to be honest and truly transparent with you...

I will now be publishing my task list on the Morning News.

You will be able to see what I am working on and, more importantly, what progress I am making.

Here are the current tasks...

T01). Work out a number of strategies to utilise R9 and provide Focus Rating members free Portfolio Betting selections across a number of different betting strategies (win backing, place backing, dutching, laying and, the other thing that I described that I don't know what it is called) on a daily basis.

T02). For Compass Ratings, display, on screen and via a email PDF, the twice weekly updated trainer/jockey win/place strike rates.

T03). For Compass Ratings, complete the eBook that explains all the weird and wonderful things that I have learned about Hong Kong Horse racing.

T04). Complete PaperTradeIt.com - a free site where you can privately log your bets and get Strike Rate, POI (to ISP and BSP) data and losing run analysis on those bets.

T05). Re-launch Intelligent-Betting.com - very good good things are happening there as we speak and it is becoming a vital (and also, very profitable) tool for those who like to think about their betting.

I'm trying to knock off the easy/quick jobs first in order to reduce the size of the list; the size of the list scares me sometimes and, believe me, I have twice as many jobs on the Admin/BAU (Business As Usual - things like automated scripts, backups and server log file analysis - stuff that all website owners have to do) task list to get through as well.


Focus Ratings

Here are the results in the Traffic Light Results PDF format... Yesterday's Traffic Light Results

Yesterday's Results, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 27.66%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 27.08%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 28.3% from all 53 Races (including previously unrated races.)

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 95.97 units returned to 137 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -29.95%

Top Rated Horse - There were 13 winners from the top rated horses from 47 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 52.09 units returned to 47 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 10.83%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 9 winners from the second rated horses from 45 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 31.13 units returned to 45 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -30.82%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the third rated horses from 45 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 12.75 units returned to 45 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -71.67%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 15 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 4 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 26.67%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 12.92 units returned to 15 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, -13.87%

Non Handicap Races - Top Three Rated Horses - There were 15 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 10 Top Three Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for the Top Three Rated Horses) was 66.67%

Something to make you smile...

Childhood Sweethearts...

An elderly couple who were childhood sweethearts had married & settled down in their old neighborhood.

To celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary they walk down to their old school. There, they hold hands as they find the desk they shared & where he had carved "I love you, Sally".

On their way back home, a bag of money falls out of an armoured car practically at their feet. She quickly picks it up, & they don't know what to do with it so they take it home. There, she counts the money, & its fifty-thousand dollars.

The husband says: "We've got to give it back".

She says, "Finders keepers" & puts the money back in the bag & hides it up in their attic.

The next day, two FBI men are going from door-to-door in the neighbourhood looking for the money show up at their home.

One knocks on the door & says: "Pardon me, but did either of you find any money that fell out of an armoured car yesterday?"

She says: "No"..

The husband says: "She's lying. She hid it up in the attic."

She says: "Don't believe him, he's getting senile."

But the agents sit the man down & begin to question him.

One says: "Tell us the story from the beginning."

The old man says: "Well, when Sally & I were walking home from school yesterday ..."

At this, the FBI guy looks at his partner & says: "We're outta here ..."
