Morning News – 20/07/2021

6620418Good morning...

Once again...

I seem to have overslept and, as a result, the selections and so forth are all going to come out later than usual.

I do apologise for that.

We made a loss on the R9 Portfolio selections yesterday but that is coming off a day when every selections either successfully won or got placed (according to the bet type) so I'm not too worried.

The Place Bets were profitable and, from today, I shall be trialing them for members of Place Profits.

After a week or so I shall individually contact all members of Place Profits to see if they want to move to the R9 based selections.

I need to sort out a spreadsheet to show the sense of doing this - it's all about getting a slightly lower strike rate but a massively higher profit on the successful place bets.


R9 Portfolio Results.

Race 1: Race Reward/Risk Ratio = 0.378

Cartmel - 15:00 - For Jim - Place Bet (0.378) - 1st @ 2.20

Race 2: Race Reward/Risk Ratio = 0.715

Ballinrobe - 18:55 - Phoenix Cowboy - Win Bet (0.715) - 2nd

Race 3: Race Reward/Risk Ratio = 0.367

Windsor - 19:35 - A Sure Welcome - Place Bet (0.350) - 7th

Windsor - 19:35 - Lihou - Place Bet (0.384) - 2nd @ 2.10

Race 4: Race Reward/Risk Ratio = 0.699

Windsor - 20:40 - Companionship - Win Bet (0.699) - 4th

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Advised Bet - 5 points bet on one race.

Race 2 - Ballinrobe - 18:55 - Phoenix Cowboy (Win Bet) - 5 Points - 2nd

Bankers Bets - 10 points bet on 2 races.

Race 2 - Ballinrobe - 18:55 - Phoenix Cowboy (Win Bet) - 5.05 Points - 2nd
Race 4 - Windsor - 20:30 - Companionship (Win Bet) - 4.94 Points - 4th

Chancers Bets - 10 points bet on 3 races.

Race 1 - Cartmel - 15:00 - For Jim (Place Bet) - 2.10 Points - 1st @ 2.20 (2.4696 points profit)
Race 2 - Ballinrobe - 18:55 - Phoenix Cowboy (Win Bet) - 3.98 Points - 2nd
Race 4 - Windsor - 20:30 - Companionship (Win Bet) - 3.90 Points - 4th

Place Bets - 10 Points bet on top 5 Place selections.

Race 1 - Cartmel - 15:00 - For Jim (Place Bet) - 3.39 Points - 1st @ 2.20 (3.9866 points profit)
Race 3 - Windsor - 19:35 - A Sure Welcome (Place Bet) - 3.14 Points - 7th (3.14 points loss)
Race 3 - Windsor - 19:35 - Lihou (Place Bet) - 3.45 Points - 2nd @ 2.10 (3.7191 points profit)

Conclusion...

Although a losing day for most of the strategies, it was a profitable day for the Place Bets.


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.

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 31.58%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 30%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 16.67% from all 36 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 38.76 units returned to 56 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -30.79%

Top Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the top rated horses from 19 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 20.33 units returned to 19 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 7%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 2 winners from the second rated horses from 19 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 6.43 units returned to 19 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -66.16%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 2 winners from the third rated horses from 18 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 12 units returned to 18 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -33.33%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 5 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 1 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 20%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 2.5 units returned to 5 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, -50%

Non Handicap Races - Top Three Rated Horses - There were 5 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 3 Top Three Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for the Top Three Rated Horses) was 60%

Something to make you smile...


The Pill...

A lady goes to the doctor and complains that her husband is losing interest in sex.

The doctor gives her a pill, but warns her that it's still experimental.

He tells her to slip it into his mashed potatoes at dinner, so that night, she does just that.

About a week later, she’s back at the doctor, where she says, "Doc, the pill worked great! I put it in the potatoes like you said! It wasn't five minutes later that he jumped up, raked all the food and dishes onto the floor, grabbed me, ripped all my clothes off, and ravaged me right there on the table!"

The doctor says, "I’m sorry, we didn’t realize the pill was that strong! The surgery will be glad to pay for any damages."

"Nah," she says, "that's okay. We're never going back to that restaurant anyway."
