I mean what I think is because the bsp combines the lay and back price into one sometimes it will be value for lay and - EV back and sometimes value back and - EV lay without a specific frequency bias.Inforaquid wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 5:26 pmMy opinion without having enough data was that BSP sometimes represents value for lay and sometimes for back therefore it would be neutral on average.
Trading What I see !?

Nooooooo. If you can't find value on one then you ain't gonna do it on 3 or 4, just hedge at BSP it perfectly OK.Inforaquid wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 5:38 pm
I think it's better to do some kind of dutching to reduce the variance than to take SP.
(I know this is self indulgent 'boasting' but this conversation ranks as my most pleasurable.... Sat on a balcony in the sun, watching chicas, and having beer and a 100% legal high-grade spliff. Some countries really do treat adults like adults...... Sort of feels like I earn 250k instead of 25 it only a holiday ffs but its been a f*%#+ing long time coming ).

I was referring exclusively to hedging at BSP.goat68 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 5:50 pmDepends a bit how you hedge, but assuming you offer a price to hedge at and get taken you're on average taking a worse price than BSP by 1/2 a tick assuming BSP is on average in the middle of the gap.Inforaquid wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 5:08 pmYes, that's what I mean. Why does hedging at the BSP lose half a tick each time?

How are senoritas over there in your opinion, rate them starting from 5("Dios mío!!") to 0("Ay-ay-ay!"). ))

I know what you mean but what I do is somewhat similar to what you and Goat do so I get value on almost every selection.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 6:02 pmNooooooo.

Yeah, that's what I do, of course you can only estimate what BSP will be, but on average it will work out...Inforaquid wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 6:03 pmI was referring exclusively to hedging at BSP.goat68 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 5:50 pmDepends a bit how you hedge, but assuming you offer a price to hedge at and get taken you're on average taking a worse price than BSP by 1/2 a tick assuming BSP is on average in the middle of the gap.Inforaquid wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 5:08 pm

Check out (if you log your data somehow), maybe in your case LTP could be closer to SP (on average) than projected bsp (near price) and your hedging could me more precise. According to my 1 year data (all greyhounds markets) very few secs from official race start time: nearsp = 8.88, ltp = 9.25, sp = 9.24. So as you see LTP is very close to SP, but I dont know if a moment you measureit matters or not (maybe few minutes projected bsp is more close to sp).Inforaquid wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 6:14 pmI use the projected bsp.
I used to think that projected bsp is a super duper thing, but looks like it's not.
upd. But when I throw out everything with sp > 10 (leaving dogs whos sp is lower or equals 10) average nearsp becomes 5.43 and sp 5.48 ~1% difference. And if I throw out everything with sp > 5: nearsp becomes 3.72 and sp 3.7 ~0.5% difference. Interesting...

Yes, I keep data in a database. Ok I'll check it out, seems like a good idea to calculate the hedge stakes based on ltp.napshnap wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 6:32 pmCheck out (if you log your data somehow), maybe in your case LTP could be closer to SP (on average) than projected bsp (near price) and your hedging could me more precise.

It's ok, not that it makes much difference. I have bigger problems at the moment.
