Very well done Shaun, extremely impressive. I can see a lot of hard work back office to achieve these results. And very encouraging for other readers ....
Keep up the GOOD work

Is it? Years and years doing this full-time, custom software, and 3 yrs of api stream to replay in an accurate simulator... and I made about 40p per dog I traded. Yeah that's encouraging for a part-timer using Guardian and guesswork.
I find all this talk about "encouragement" strange really, A plumber can clear £300 a day but if you make a couple of hundred doing this and some think it's witchcraft.

Let the haters hate. Makes me more determined.

I don't do all races but I do all dogs on the races I do do. It was a 'fortune' day, 500 dogs at about 10p is more usual but it's 365 so can't grumble.The Silk Run wrote: ↑Sun Jul 18, 2021 2:35 pmCirca 300 GH markets daily on, and offshore GBP 0.40+ per race less applicable tax, and commission
Sort of puts my expectations into perspective, I thought 10p was lame... but on the flip side I think I could get that.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Sun Jul 18, 2021 11:08 pmI don't do all races but I do all dogs on the races I do do.

Excuse my arrogance though, I'm talking through a very inexperienced lense, both with automation and Greyhounds.

I used to watch them emptying the machines on Skeg pier when I was a lad, literally buckets full of pennies and a Roller parked outside. And all from the people trying to win the fiver wrapped round a lump of lead (sorry, "keyring"). I'll take pennies..... I got another 694 of them today to add to the collection. Big time!

Too true ... some 30 years ago I was getting quotes for a new boiler and they added £1,500 for fitting which I queried. The guy explained 1 1/2 days for 2 fitters at £500 per day (rememb3er this was some 30 years ago!). I commented that even my solicitor doesn't charge that ... his response "I know, I used to be a solicitor until I realised I could make more fitting boilers!"ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Sun Jul 18, 2021 12:38 pmI find all this talk about "encouragement" strange really, A plumber can clear £300 a day but if you make a couple of hundred doing this and some think it's witchcraft.

Similar, I've just put a new combi boiler in mum's place that cost me £2900. £1700 for the actual boiler&flue. And after vat etc etc the labour was something like 900 for 1 guy and an apprentice for 2 days. And they're flat out busy.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 8:57 amToo true ... some 30 years ago I was getting quotes for a new boiler and they added £1,500 for fitting which I queried.
