Morning News – 17/03/2021

6620418Good morning...

I'm not going to waffle on about Cheltenham...

As I've already done that on a review post which you may read here... http://focusratings.com/articles/cheltenham-2021-day-1/

And I've not got too much to say about Intelligent Betting apart from to say that we had 6 selections and, from those, we had 3 winners.

We had 11.2023 points returned (after a 2% commission) to the 6 points staked.

We have made back most of the losses from over that last few days.

march

For the month of March...

We are now running at 23 points profits for the first 16 days.

Although I did have a very busy day yesterday (with Cheltenham)...

I did manage to get some more work on R8.

Weirdly enough, I am going to propose two accumulators (a big one and a small one) to be suggested every day, based upon R8.

These will just be fun bets (and you'll need a bookies account) but, if they come off (bearing the high prices that R8 winning horses tend to come in at),

Hey ho, Rodney, this time next year, we'll be millionaires.


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.

Bugs...

A boy asks his father, "Dad, are bugs good to eat?"

"That's disgusting. Don't talk about things like that over dinner," the dad replies.

After dinner the father asks, "Now, son, what did you want to ask me?"

"Oh, nothing," the boy says. "There was a bug in your soup, but now it’s gone."
