Morning News – 2022-10-08

Good morning...

Over all, a very decent day, yesterday, across the board. Investment Betting did well with 3 out of 4 and one of the win bets coming in at 7.23 BSP

And...

EarlyBird Ratings had 2 selections yesterday; one came 7th but the other won at 9.98 BSP.

This is important as the EarlyBird Plus ratings are going to be the basis for our Focus Ratings Daily Bets - more of which...

Project 1 - Focus Ratings Daily Bets

I have identified four strategies for using the top rated horse on the EarlyBird Ratings when it is also the top rated horse on Advance Ratings.

1). Basic Strategy - 41.51% Strike Rate - 17.85% POI - 8.48 races a week.
2). 130% Conf Strategy - 41.72% Strike Rate - 19.80% POI - 8.94 races a week.
3). Unique Jockey/Trainer Strategy - 41.77% Strike Rate - 30.66% POI - 7.80 races a week.
4). Clear Favs Strategy - 49.58% Strike Rate - 26.48% POI - 4.81 races a week.

Any applicable selections from these four strategies will be put in a list.

Duplicates will be removed.

The list will then be ordered in Confidence level descending.

The horse with the highest confidence becomes our Bankers Bet. The horse with the second highest confidence becomes our Chancers Bet. Those two horses become our Daily Double.

Any other selections are added to the Bankers Bet and the Chancers Bet to become the accumulator.

At the moment I am having to manually compute the selections and, can only do them first thing in the morning.

However, a wee bit of coding and I'll be able to automatically produce the selections the evening before race day.

Project 2

I am going flat out with the code re-write for Compass Ratings (Hong Kong ratings) and am hoping that I get it finished in time for a test with tomorrow's meeting at Sha Tin.

If that works then it'll be all ahead for Wednesday's meeting at Happy Valley.

Something to make you smile...

My cousin Fred wears lace underpants...

My cousin Fred, who I had not seen for years, visited us during the holidays. After a good game of racquetball, I noticed in the shower that he was wearing frilly lace underwear.

It was kind of awkward, but on the drive home, curiosity got the better of me and I had to ask him: "Say Fred, I noticed you were wearing some lace underpants."

"Yeah, they are women's underpants."

"Oh - okay. I didn't know you were... er... since when did you start wearing that?"

"Well, ever since my wife found them in my glove compartment."
