Morning News – 2022-01-27

6620418Good morning...

Multi Choice

Now, a while back, I mentioned that I am very interested in what happens to any selections that are selected by more than one of the services I produce.

These services are...

Advance Ratings System Selections (AR)
EarlyBird Platinum Selections (EB)
Investment Betting (IB)
Intelligent Betting (IntelBet)
Place Profits (PP)
Portfolio Betting (PB)
Focus Ratings R9 Portfolio (R9)

To try and work out if there is a strategy here, I shall publish the previous day's selections (and the results) every morning.

This is because I am getting nowhere by trying to do the analysis in a spreadsheet.

These were yesterday's various system selections.

Lingfield - 13:00 - Laura Bullion - AR - 9th
Lingfield - 13:30 - No Flies On Me - PB - 2nd
Lingfield - 14:00 - Criollo - IntelBet - Win Bet - 1st @ 1.91 ISP (2.11 BSP)
Lingfield - 14:00 - Criollo - IntelBet - Place Bet - 1st @ 1.18
Catterick - 14:10 - Soyuothinksoagain - IntelBet - Win Bet - 1st @ 3.25 ISP (3.55 BSP)

Wincanton - 14:20 - Danny Kirwan - AR - 1st @ 1.66 ISP (1.68 BSP)
Lingfield - 14:30 - Krazy Paving - AR - 8th
Catterick - 14:40 - It's Good To Laugh - IB - AR - 1st @ 1.61 ISP (1.79 BSP)
Wincanton - 14:50 - Luckofthedraw - PP - 5th
Kempton - 15:30 - Dutch Decoy - PB - R9 - 2nd
Wincanton - 15:50 - Aucunrisque - AR - 1st @ 2.50 ISP (2.69 BSP)
Wincanton - 16:20 - Grosvenor Court - IB - AR - 3rd
Kempton - 16:30 - Axel Jacklin - AR - NR
Kempton - 19:00 - Come On Girl - PB (2) - 4th

As you can see, we had 3 races where the selection was selected by more than one service.

One of those won.

Now, this isn't conclusive and doesn't really highlight what I am seeing on a daily basis.

So, more research required.

All Weather Betting

A couple of days ago I got an email from one of the members who asked me...

"Do you think that Focus Ratings works better for All Weather racing than the Flat Turf?"

Now, logically, it should. There are no changes in going and there seem to be more Course specialists (due to the fewer number of courses.)

Also, there are some horses that only seem to run on the AW and they seem to perform well.

So, I got all inspired and cut a spreadsheet,

This spreadsheet is available at... AllWeather.xlsx and

My working spreadsheet (the one that I am testing strategies on) is available at... AllWeather01.xlsx and I shall share any ideas I have come up with on a daily basis.

If you look at AllWeather01.xlsx you will see that my primary idea is Place Betting those horses that are the Trainer's only horse in the meeting and the Jockey's only ride at the meeting. Colour coding the spreadsheet made these selections stand out.

I do have to warn you that I am missing Betfair prices from the 23rd December 2020. I am manually adding in those missing prices for my analysis but it is easier just to take out any races after that date.

I ought to mention that the raw data set is based on Focus Ratings R8 ratings (and only the top rated horse.)

I should also say that what I am trying to do is to create a selection of micro systems purely based upon AW racing - maybe 12 of them.

Intelligent Betting

Obviously, a slightly good day for the new Intelligent Betting selections yesterday.

3 out of 3 ain't too bad.

Lingfield - 14:00 - Criollo - Win Bet - 1st @ 2.11 BSP

Lingfield - 14:00 - Criollo - Place Bet - 1st @ 1.18 BSP

Catterick - 14:10 - Soyouthinksoagain - 1st @ 3.55 BSP


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 42.31%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 42.31%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 42.31% from all 26 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 63.09 units returned to 76 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -16.99%

Top Rated Horse - There were 11 winners from the top rated horses from 26 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 39.71 units returned to 26 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 52.73%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the second rated horses from 25 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 18.88 units returned to 25 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -24.48%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 1 winners from the third rated horses from 25 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 4.5 units returned to 25 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -82%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 8 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 4 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 50%

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 8 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, 58.75%

Non Handicap Races - Top Three Rated Horses - There were 8 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 50%

Something to make you smile...

True Love Lasts Forever...

It’s the World Cup Final, and a man makes his way to his seat right next to the pitch.

He sits down, noticing that the seat next to him is empty. He leans over and asks his neighbour if someone will be sitting there.

‘No,’ says the neighbour. ‘The seat is empty.’

‘This is incredible,’ said the man. ‘Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Final and not use it?’

The neighbour says, ‘Well actually the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first World Cup Final we haven’t been to together since we got married.’ ‘

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. That’s terrible….But couldn’t you find someone else, a friend, relative or even a neighbour to take her seat?’

The man shakes his head. ‘No,’ he says. ‘They’re all at the funeral.’
