Morning News – 2022/02/01

6620418Good morning...

Multi Choice

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.

Hereford - 13:00 - Black Poppy - AR - 1st @ 1.88 ISP
Punchestown - 13:50 - Doctor Churchill - PB - 2nd
Plumpton - 14:10 - Guguss Collonges - PP - 3rd
Plumpton - 14:40 - Hecouldbetheone - IB - AR - 1st @ 1.22 ISP
Plumpton - 15:10 - Innisfree Lad - AR - 5th
Punchestown - 15:20 - Captain Conby - AR - 1st @ 5.0 ISP
Plumpton - 15:40 - Representing Bob - IntelBet - 2nd
Hereford - 16:00 - Sweet Auburn - AR - PP - IntelBet (2) - 3rd
Plumpton - 16:10 - Hey Bob - PB - R9 (3) - 4th
Punchestown - 16:20 - I Don't Get It - PB - R9 (3) - 4th
Wolverhampton - 17:30 - Umm Hurair - PP - 1st @ 1.66 ISP

Sweet Auburn (Hereford 16:00) would have been yesterday's selection.

I shall carry on with this strategy for another week to see if there is any merit with it.

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.

Update - 30/01/2022: Over the weekend I came up with some systems; these may be seen on AllWeather01.xlsx

Intelligent Betting

I have updated the January 2022 spreadsheet - intelligent_betting.xlsx

As you can see, during January 2022, to level stakes we have increased the starting bank of £1,000 to a final bank of £1,684.81

Something to make you smile...

Art Collector...

A New York attorney representing a wealthy art collector called his client and said to him, “Saul, I have some good news and I have some bad news.”

The art collector replied, “I’ve had an awful day; let’s hear the good news first.”

The attorney said, “Well, I met with your wife today, and she informed me that she invested $5,000 in two pictures that she thinks will bring a minimum of $15-20 million. I think she could be right.”

Saul replied enthusiastically, “Well done! My wife is a brilliant businesswoman! You’ve just made my day. Now I know I can handle the bad news. What is it?”

The attorney replied, “The pictures are of you with your secretary.”
