Morning News – 2022-10-09

Posted by Keith Eckstein on Oct 9, 2022 in Blog | 0 comments

Good morning...

Technically, today is my day off.

However, as I have some gardening to do, I'm not so sure how relaxing it will be.

As I mentioned a few days ago...

The coming week I shall be concentrating on Intelligent Betting.

It already seems to be coming together as the screenshot below shows...

I have started by re-arranging the early morning script that generates the myriad of files that go to make up Intelligent Betting.

In particular I have parallelised (run them at the same time rather than one after another) the two processes that generate RSR (Really Simple Ratings) and TSR (Trainer Win/Place Strike Rate.)

The later (TSR) has just finished (4:13 am) whereas it normally finished at about 10am or later.

So, a good start here.

There are quite a few more tweeks like this that I have to do; they will get done next week.

Project 1 - Focus Ratings Daily Bets

I have some final tweeks to the selection process which should give us more selections without compromising the strike rate.

Project 2 - Compass Ratings

I am waiting to see how the code re-write for Compass Ratings (Hong Kong ratings) works with tyoday'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...

It wasn't easy, but me and my wife decided we do not want children...

We will be telling them tomorrow.

Edit: They didn't take it that well, they just kept crying when we left them at gas station.

Edit 2: Oh, it's all fine, a group of old men comforted them and brought them to their van for sweets, we left in good faith.

The Smiths had no children and decided to use a proxy father to start their family...

On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr.Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon."
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning madam. You don't know me but I've come to...."
"Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in.

"Really..?" the photographer asked. "Well, good..! I've made a specialty of babies."

"That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat. Just where do we start..?" asked Mrs. Smith, blushing.

"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out."

"Bathtub, living room floor..? No wonder it didn't work for Harry and me."

"Well, madam, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."

"I hope we can get this over with quickly," gasped Mrs. Smith.

"Madam, in my line of work, a man must take his time. I'd love to be in and out in five minutes, but you'd be disappointed with that, I'm sure."

"Don't I know!!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed.

The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus in downtown London."

"Oh my God..!!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, tugging at her handkerchief.

"And these twins turned out exceptionally well when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with." The photographer handed Mrs. Smith the picture.

"She was difficult ..?" asked Mrs. Smith.

"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to Hyde Park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep, pushing to get a good look."

"Four and five deep..?" asked Mrs. Smith, eyes widened in amazement.

"Yes", the photographer said. "And for more than three hours too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling. I could hardly concentrate. Then darkness approached and I began to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just packed it all in."

Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "You mean they actually chewed on your, eh......equipment?"

"That's right. Well madam, if you're ready, I'll set up my tripod so that we can get to work."

"Tripod..??", Mrs. Smith looked extremely worried now.

"Oh Good God Yes..! I have to use a tripod to rest my Canon on.

It's much too big for me to hold while I'm getting ready for action.

Madam..? Madam..?..... Good Lord, she's fainted..!
