Morning News – 21/09/2021

Good morning...

I know that I've been getting a bit excited about the 1 Focus Ratings Place Bet Of The Day but...

The image below show why.

Taking the non runners into account there have been 17 bets this month;

From those there have been 12 winning bets.

That's a strike rate of 70%.

If you look at the distribution of the 5 losing bets it is obvious that you could stake this to a 10 point bank.

Until I commercialise the R9 Portfolio selections (possibly about a month away) they are free to Focus Ratings, EarlyBird Ratings, Place Profits and Intelligent Betting (free or paying) members - just email me and I'll put you on the list.

I shall continue to report on the One Place Bet Of The Day but it will be in the Place Profits section of this email.

I am now going to take a look to see if I can find a suitable One Win Bet Of The Day Strategy.

Task List...

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.

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 21.05%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 24.44%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 18.18% from all 44 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 75.82 units returned to 118 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -35.75%

Top Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the top rated horses from 38 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 29.7 units returned to 38 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -21.84%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 10 winners from the second rated horses from 41 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 28.62 units returned to 41 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -30.2%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the third rated horses from 39 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 17.5 units returned to 39 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -55.13%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 12 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 2 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 16.67%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 7.2 units returned to 12 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, -40%

Robins...

Two robins were sitting in a tree.

"I'm really hungry," said the first one. "Let's fly down and find some lunch."

They flew down to the ground and found a nice plot of newly plowed ground that was full of worms. They ate and ate and ate till they could eat no more.

"I'm so full, I don't think I can fly back up into the tree," said the first one.

"Let's just lay back here and bask in the warm sun," said the second.

"O K," said the first.

So they plopped down, basking in the sun. No sooner than they had fallen asleep, when a big fat tomcat came up and gobbled them up.

As the cat sat washing his face after his meal, he thought...

"I JUST LOVE BASKIN ROBINS."
