So the first attempt didn't go too well, a couple of interesting points came out of the first run...
1 - Some of the selections were no hopers that I wouldn't be backing if they weren't within the system frameworks - so i've been back through the systems and reduced them to horses under 33/1 SP, and that returns a greater ROI and yield. So to do this, I've got to wait until the day of the race and see how they are forming in the market, anything that is trading at 70+ on the exchange will be removed from the bets, unless an obvious reason to back (big field handicaps being the prime one)
2 - Too many selections in the same race, these were often in the juvenile races and those at select courses. The key here is understanding that those races could take up the most of the stakes for the day. To resolve this, I am limiting these selections to 5 in a race at £2 maximum a race.
5 in race £2
4 in race £2.50
3 in race £3.30
2 in race £5
1 in race £5
3 - Take a look at systems on handicaps versus other forms of races. I noticed that lots were being beaten in older age maidens who were running against big yards at long prices. I will check the systems to make sure I am betting on the profitable angle here.
4 - As Oddy Termed them "****er bets" - set a framework of when to not back favourites in bets that aren't favourable (i.e under evens with two selections in the race).
