Morning News – 28/08/2021

6620418Good morning...

Well, after a couple of good night's sleep I seem to be back on track.

I have a whole list of things that I'm planning to do, what I've promised to do and things that I want to do;

I'll be hitting that list on Monday.

For the moment I need to update you on a couple of things...

ROFT - Those of you who are Intelligent Betting full members need to be aware that Roy is now on holiday for a week. Thus there will be no ROFT (Roy's One For Today) selections for the next week.

ROFT is doing well at the moment;

2021-08-28--1630130856_575x400_scrot

Morning News - I am going to start sending out the Morning News later than normal from next week (as tomorrow is Sunday, there will be no Morning News) as it seems a bit silly for me to rush to get it out early.


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 28.26%.

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 103.96 units returned to 138 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -24.67%

Top Rated Horse - There were 13 winners from the top rated horses from 46 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 36.38 units returned to 46 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -20.91%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the second rated horses from 47 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 31.78 units returned to 47 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -32.38%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the third rated horses from 45 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 35.8 units returned to 45 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -20.44%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 15 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 4 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 26.67%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 7.71 units returned to 15 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, -48.6%

Scruffy...

After eight days of backpacking with my wife, we were looking pretty scruffy. One morning she came to breakfast in a baseball cap, her shoulder length hair sticking out at odd angles.

"Darling," she said, "does my hair make me look like a water buffalo?"

I thought for a moment, then said, "If I tell you the truth, do you promise not to charge?"
