Morning News – 12/04/2021

6620418Good morning...

Today I shall start putting up the R8 based strategies that I shall be using to furnish the daily Portfolio selections.

I shall initially be concentrating on selection the M-2 races to use (where M is the number of meeting.)

Today there are 2 meetings so, in theory, there will be just 2 races to be used.

I have an algorithm which values each R8 rated race and selects those that offer the best opportunities.

There will be a win bet (and possibly a Place bet) on the top two rated horses.

This is a form of Dutching but not classical Dutching.

It is more a way of maximizing the profit opportunity from the race rather than an individual horse.

I wrote an article about this recently (and it is the backbone of my French betting) - you can see that here... Bet The Race, Not The Horse...

The stakes will be based upon a nominal £20 total stake but the individual stakes (for the individual bets) will vary from day to day.

Obviously, you are free to choose which bets to place and what stakes to use.

Additionally, there may be one or more lay bets every day.

For those of you who have Bookmakers accounts, there should be additional multiple bets such as forecasts, trifectas and accumulators. These will not be included in the basic stakes.


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 mem height="746"bers 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 25.93%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 25%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 24.14% from all 29 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 31.78 units returned to 80 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -60.27%

Top Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the top rated horses from 27 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 24.03 units returned to 27 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -11%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 2 winners from the second rated horses from 26 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 3.75 units returned to 26 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -85.58%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 1 winners from the third rated horses from 27 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 4 units returned to 27 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -85.19%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 10 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 4 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 40%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 12.7 units returned to 10 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, 27%

Non Handicap Races - Top Three Rated Horses - There were 10 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 5 Top Three Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for the Top Three Rated Horses) was 50%

Something to make you smile...

Best Friend...

A man is sitting at the bar in his local tavern, furiously imbibing shots of whiskey. One of his friends happens to come into the bar and sees him.

"Lou," says the shocked friend, "what are you doing? I've known you for over fifteen years, and I've never seen you take a drink before. What's going on?"

Without even taking his eyes off his newly filled shot glass, the man replies, "My wife just ran off with my best friend."

He then throws back another shot of whisky in one gulp.

"But," says the other man, "I'm your best friend!"

The man turns to his friend, looks at him through bloodshot eyes, smiles, and then slurs, "Not anymore! He is!"
