Morning News

e5882c16ffe8b05f142cd336a67f9bf5Good morning...

Well, I seem to have got most of my IT problems under control.

However, I still have got some work to do to copy data over to the new machines.

Yesterday seemed to be a reasonable day and out Bankers bet won.

We are still in profit for the Place Betting Strategy and I'm hoping that I can start catching up with the planned work as soon as I've got all the data populated.

Anyway, I'll get to that, firstly let's get on and take a quick look at yesterday's results in more detail....

Yesterday's Results

Yesterday's Results, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 21.88%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 20%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 18.92% 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 70.75 units returned to 100 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -29.25%

Top Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the top rated horses from 32 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 20.8 units returned to 32 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -35%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the second rated horses from 35 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 19.08 units returned to 35 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -45.49%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the third rated horses from 33 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 30.87 units returned to 33 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -6.45%

Something to make you laugh

Would You Get Married Again?

A husband and wife are sitting quietly in bed reading when the wife looks over at him and asks the question.

WIFE: "What would you do if I died? Would you get married again?"

HUSBAND: "Definitely not!"

WIFE: "Why not? Don't you like being married?"

HUSBAND: "Of course I do."

WIFE: "Then why wouldn't you remarry?"

HUSBAND: "Okay, okay, I'd get married again."

WIFE: "You would?" (with a hurt look)

HUSBAND: (makes audible groan)

WIFE: "Would you live in our house?"

HUSBAND: "Sure, it's a great house."

WIFE: "Would you sleep with her in our bed?"

HUSBAND: "Where else would we sleep?"

WIFE: "Would you let her drive my car?"

HUSBAND: "Probably, it is almost new."

WIFE: "Would you replace my pictures with hers?"

HUSBAND: "That would seem like the proper thing to do."

WIFE: "Would you give her my jewelry?"

HUSBAND: "No, I'm sure she'd want her own."

WIFE: "Would she use my golf clubs?"

HUSBAND: "No, she's left-handed."

WIFE: -- silence-

HUSBAND: "sh*t."
