Morning News – 22-09-2021

Posted by Keith Eckstein on Sep 22, 2021 in Blog | 0 comments

Good morning...

As promised yesterday...

I am not going to mention the new Focus Ratings R9 Portfolio Place Bet Of The Day any more.

I did spend a lot of time, yesterday, looking at getting a Win Bet Of The Day but I have more investigating to do.

I shall carry on with that today.

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 have just created the SpotLight Ratings for today's Listed race at Saint-Cloud (FR) - SpotlightRatings - 22nd September 2021

Focus Ratings, EarlyBird Ratings and Place Profits members can subscribe to Spotlight Ratings for free.

Just send me an email and I'll set you up.

For the benefit of Intelligent Betting members I shall be displaying the links to the SpotLight Ratings PDFs for the next week or so so that they can take a look.

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 50%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 50%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 5.41% from all 37 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 9.08 units returned to 12 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -24.33%

Top Rated Horse - There were 2 winners from the top rated horses from 4 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 4.75 units returned to 4 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 18.75%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 1 winners from the second rated horses from 4 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 4.33 units returned to 4 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 8.25%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 0 winners from the third rated horses from 4 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 0 units returned to 4 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -100%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 3 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 2 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 66.67%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 4.75 units returned to 3 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, 58.33%

Something to make you smile...

Poison...

Man goes to see the Rabbi. "Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it."

The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong?"

The man replied, "My wife is poisoning me."

The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?"

The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me, what should I do?"

The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know."

A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says, "Well, I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on the phone for eight hours. You want my advice?"

The man anxiously says, "Yes."

"Take the poison," says the Rabbi.
