Morning News – 2022-11-01

focus-ratings-morning-newsGood morning...

Yesterday was a pretty good day all round with Investment Betting, in particular, doing well by getting 6 out of its 8 selections.

Intelligent Betting is running at a 63.70% Strike Rate and a 20.50% Profit on Stakes for the last exact month.

Trainer/Jockey Strike Rate Statistics...

I've had a bit of feedback about the Trainer/Jockey Strike Rate statistics that I have been working on.

As well as the eBooks I shall also be producing a daily ratings PDF which will show the new data for that day's races.

This should be used in conjunction with whichever ratings you use.

This PDF will be distributed to members of Focus Ratings. Advance Ratings, EarlyBird Ratings and paid members of Intelligent Betting.

I will create a sample for all to see; I really think that, by checking for good trainer strike rates or Trainer/Jockey strike rates will help identify those races where members of the above services will have an edge over everyone else.

To use the example I showed yesterday...

Although sites like the Racing Post will give you individual Trainer or Jockey stats, I am pretty sure that nowhere else can you research the best Trainer/Jockey combinations for Chepstow, for example.

top100-2

And, certainly nowhere shows ratings based, not upon the horse's historical performance, but the historical performance of the Trainer and/or Jockey.

Once I've got the PDF up and running, I'll use it to generate an example; I know how I think it should work but it is difficult to explain.

However, the theory is...

Every race will be rated, not on the horse's performance but on the Trainer/Jockey historical performance.

So, just say there is a race at Chepstow today and A P O'Brien has a horse there and it is being ridden by Ryan Moore. In the new Trainer/Jockey ratings that would stand out as, together, they have a 100% strike rate over 5 races over the last year.

That wouldn't be apparent on the normal ratings which, of course, focus more on the horse's historical performance.

So, if in a ficticious example there was an A P O'Brien horse being ridden by Ryan Moore I would be tempted to look at the normal ratings to check out that horse as, over the last year, every A P O'Brien horse being ridden by Ryan Moore has won the race...

Why would today's horse be any different?

Anyway, that's the theory but, once again, it'll be easier to explain once I have a real world example. Once I've got the PDF up and running, I'll use it to generate an example; I know how I think it should work but it is difficult to explain.

Morning News – 2022-10-31

focus-ratings-morning-newsGood morning... I apologise for the lack of Morning News over the weekend; My CPAP machine has been playing up and, as a result, I've note really been getting any sleep. However, I did manage to get some work done on the Trainer/Jockey combinations and am starting to see some strategies which could use them. The image below shows the top Trainer Jockey combinations over the last year. I am looking to see if I can add this information to the ratings PDFs for Intelligent Betting, Focus Ratings, Advance Ratings and EarlyBird Ratings. top100 However, things start getting more interesting if you look at the Course Trainer/Jockey combinations... top100-2 As you can see, if there was a meeting at Chester today and Andrew Balding had a runner then it would be rather tempting to consider that horse if the Jockey was Callum Hutchinson, David Probert or Harry Davies. This sort of brings into place a new way of form reading; it would be very easy to produce a PDF (for each of the services) that shows every race in Course/Trainer/Jockey Strike Rate (in descending order) to take a peek at before looking at the Horse Ratings. That could really give us an edge. The new eBooks will be available to Intelligent Betting members but will also be available (all 19 eBooks) for a one off affordable fee. I'll let you know more tomorrow.

Morning News – 2022-10-27

focus-ratings-morning-newsGood morning... I am on the very last stage of completing the remaining Trainer/Jockey combination eBooks for Intelligent Betting. These have taken very much longer than I anticipated but I now have some shortcuts which will make them faster to produce next time. I will, at some point, have to come up with a cover eBook that explains strategies for using this data. I will cut a spreadsheet of recent ratings to show real life examples. This could be an interesting new way of form reading

Morning News – 2022-10-26

focus-ratings-morning-newsGood morning... A small technical error yesterday meant that I didn't get as much done as I would have like. I think that I'll be able to catch up today. On a positive note... Some of the recent tweaks that I have implemented mean that the Intelligent Betting emails are now coming out earlier than before - that's got to be good news for many of you.
