Good morning...
Going through the old historical bets that would, had I got my act in gear a bit earlier, produced the Focus Ratings Daily Bets is quite a slow and boring process but...
The results are looking good.
Actually, it's quite a nice process (albeit a bit boring) going back in time to see what would have happened and seeing that what would have happened seems pretty good.
Today I am going to commit to producing a 1 or 2 page PDF to explain the strategy and the rules behind this strategy but...
Basically, from every day's R10 top rated races I choose (where possible) a safe bet (the Banker's Bet) and a slightly more risky bet (the Chancer's Bet.)
For those of you who have been Focus Ratings members since the beginning (9 years ago), we used to do that for our Portfolio Bets.
Those bets were actually blindly profitable but they did have some nasty losing runs.
The new strategy is far more profitable because it is based upon Focus Ratings R10 ratings rather than the original (9 years old) R4 ratings.
The idea is to have 2 win bets a day (a safe but lower profit one and a slightly more risky but higher profit one) and then do the double on those 2 selections.
And then, do the accumulator based upon the two selections for the double and also any
Also Rans in that selection process.
Now, you can do that at the bookies but, it is far better to do that on Betfair.
That can be done manually but it can also be done better using a bot.
I am speaking to a Betfair Bot programmer to see if he can import a CSV file (that I can produce) and allow you to do the two singles, the double and also the accumulator with the option of cashing out at a profit (for the accumulator) or, cashing out some of your profits and carrying some on to finish the accumulator or...
Just doing the two singles, the double and the entire accumulator.
I have worked with this programmer for 9 years and I'm pretty sure that he will be able to accommodate our requirements.

Then, we take the 2 main bets and any other candidates that didn't make the grade and do an accumulator on those bets.
Going back, day by day, over the last few months I almost feel that I'm going to make a statement such as...
Rodney, if we stick at it...
This time next year...
We'll be bluddy milllionaires!
But, obviously,
I'm not going to say anything like that, am I?
After all...
That would jinx things, wouldn't it?
