Today is going to be a boring admin day for me.
I have a number of code updates to implement and...
I also have to write a post that explains the underlying performance management process for Portfolio Betting.
This swaps the systems in and out of the selection process based upon their recent performance and, also, their performance for the same month over the last 5 years.
This is important as I could use the same process for my other selections systems.
The only analogy that I can come up with is this...
When you drive a car you don't just stay in first gear;
You change gears to adapt to requirements.
The performance management system will do the same by dropping (temporarily) lesser performing systems and promoting those that are doing well.
All systems get monitored but only the best are used for selections.
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.
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 19.44%.
Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 21.62%.
Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 18.92% 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 81.53 units returned to 104 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -21.61%
Top Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the top rated horses from 36 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 9.95 units returned to 36 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -72.36%
2nd Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the second rated horses from 35 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 50.25 units returned to 35 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 43.57%
3rd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the third rated horses from 33 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 21.33 units returned to 33 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -35.36%
Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 9 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 2 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 22.22%
Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 2.16 units returned to 9 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, -76%
Non Handicap Races - Top Three Rated Horses - There were 9 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 4 Top Three Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for the Top Three Rated Horses) was 44.44%
There was one Investment Betting selection (using the new R8 based system) yesterday...
Yarmouth - 14:30 - Tarhib - 1st @ 1.025 ISP (1.04 BSP)

The Genie In The Lamp...
One day a man was waking along the beach when he tripped over a lamp.
He turned around and kicked the lamp out of anger.
A few seconds later, a genie popped out of the lamp.
Reluctantly, the genie said, "Even though you kicked me, I still have to give you three wishes. However, because of what you did, I will also give twice what you wish for to the person you hate the most: your boss."
So the man agreed and made his first wish. "I want lots of money", he said.
Instantly 22 million dollars appeared in the man's bank account and 44 million appeared in his boss' account.
For his second wish, the man wished for a couple of sports cars.
Instantly a Lambergini, Ferrari and Porsche appeared.
At the same time two of each car appeared outside of his boss' house.
Finally the genie said, "This is your last wish, you should choose carefully," and to this the man replied, "I've always wanted to donate a kidney..."
Whatever you are up to today...
Stay safe and healthy.
As always...
My kindest regards
