Morning News – 18/05/2021

6620418Good morning...

As yesterday was the last day before the Intelligent Betting price rise....

I was uncommonly busy, answering queries and so forth.

I realise that I am slightly behind on emails but,

I shall be catching up with them today.

I did try to keep an eye on the Focus Ratings R9 races yesterday.

There were 11 of them but one was abandoned and in another, our top rated horse was a non runner.

We got 3 top rated winners from the remaining 9 races.

Assuming a Betfair commission of 2% we had 9.5366 points returned to the 9 points staked.

So, once again, blindly profitable and, you have to remember that these are ratings, not tips or selections.

What little work I did manage to get done on R9 yesterday, it is obvious that, the more horses that have equal ratings statuses on both Focus Ratings and Advance Ratings then,

The more accurate the ratings are for that race.

Now, that might seem obvious but,

I did need to prove it mathematically.

So now I think that I have all I need to choose which races to use for the new Portfolio bets (free to Focus Ratings members.)

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 21.88%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 23.53%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 21.62% from all 37 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 48.1 units returned to 95 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -49.37%

Top Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the top rated horses from 32 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 12.12 units returned to 32 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -62.12%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the second rated horses from 32 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 20.45 units returned to 32 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -36.09%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the third rated horses from 31 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 15.53 units returned to 31 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -49.9%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 13 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 4 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 30.77%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 2.59 units returned to 13 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, -80.08%

Non Handicap Races - Top Three Rated Horses - There were 13 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 7 Top Three Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for the Top Three Rated Horses) was 53.85%

Call in sick...

Hung Chow calls into work and says, "Hey, boss I no come work today, I really sick. I got headache, stomachache and my legs hurt, I no come work."

The boss says, "You know Hung Chow, I really need you today.

When I feel like this I go to my wife and tell her give me sex. That makes everything better and I go work. You try that."

Two hours later Hung Chow calls again. "Boss, I do what you say and I feel great. I be at work soon. You got nice house."
