Morning News – 09/03/2021

6620418Good morning...

After a hard day's work...

Yesterday I realised that,

If left to my own devices,

It would be Christmas before I complete my analysis of R8 and that wouldn't help any of us.

So, I've decided to start publishing the profitable angles by which we can profit from the new ratings;
height="282"
Whether they be win backing, dutching, lay betting or place betting.

However, there may be a slight slant towards my way of betting (on French horse racing) where I put multiple bets on a single race.

Thus, for appropriate race (generally where R8 equals 3 or 4) there might be a win bet on the top rated horse, a place bet on the top rated horse, a place bet on the second rated horse, a dutch bet on the top two rated horses and a lay bet on the third rated horse. And, although you can't do Betfair multiple bets any more, there might be a bookie's reverse forecast on the top two rated horses.

However, it will be a pick and mix service where you can just choose those bets that you enjoy.

I will publish the page/post today but you have to understand that it is a work in progress and may take a month (being totally realistic) to complete.

The page/post will show all the angles but also show the strategies by which you can benefit from those angles.

Intelligent Betting

Work has also been going on with Intelligent Betting - Roy (my joint venture partner in this enterprise) and I are hoping to relaunch this service at the end of the month.

Roy has come up with a new strategy which fixes the problems with the original strategy...

1). More winners (always nice)

2). Higher priced winners (a 12.0 BSP winner on the 6th of March)

3). More selections (the original strategy could go days without a selection) and

4). Less reliance on Irish racing.

Roy is betting his own money on the selections and, yesterday, he sent me an email to show that, for the first week of March, he made a profit of 16.69 points to level stakes.

Now, 16.69 points profit in a week isn't too shabby.

Out of the seven days there were only two losing days; that should be acceptable to most people (I know that we would all like 7 winning days a week but, after all, we do have to live in the real world.)

Intelligent

If I can put my oar in here...

I can say that Roy's strategy is entirely based upon R8.

Can you see why I'm so excited about R8?

It's as if I've discovered a gold mine but,

It sometimes seems to me that I'm actually mining that gold mine with a tea spoon;

One nugget at a time.

To finish off...

Once again, I seem to be slipping slightly behind on emails.

Blame it on R8.

I seem to get so focused (excuse the unintentional pun) on that, that everything else gets put to one side.

If you are waiting to a reply to an email, I'll try to catch up today.


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 R8 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 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.

Business Trip...

One of the airlines recently introduced a special half-fare rate for wives accompanying their husbands on business trips.

Anticipating some valuable testimonials, the publicity department of the airline sent out letters to all the wives of businessmen who used the special rates, asking how they enjoyed their trip.

Responses are still pouring in asking, "What trip?"
