Today's Horse Racing

You can back at BSP and still end up winning, you just need to know where to look

yes I appreciate (and do) that but we are introducing a degree of selectivity into it … overall "long-shots" lose money. The worst is the BSP 1000.00 because if a runner has a 10,000/1 chance it is still valued in BSP terms at only 1000 so, forgetting them, a quick extract from my stats shows me …

Odds>=20and<50: -5798 required Edge +2% (1 tick)
Odds>=50and<100: -11015 required Edge +12% (2 ticks)
Odds>=100and<1000: -21207 required Edge +18% (2 - 18 ticks)
(based on BSP, UK and IRE races and ignores dead-heats)

So at the lower end (Odds 20 - 100) the required Edge summarises down to about 2 ticks. The trick of course is finding those ticks (and more )

00:22 at Mountaineer Park was settled lightning quick - just seconds after the winner crossed the line on Betfair video!!

Very dull

[Derek27]

Evening card not so dull, almost £500K traded on the first at Ripon. It's not often that I close a trade for a loss, trade the other direction and come out a winner but it's worked well this time.

Did something happen on-course during the last to cause this?

I wasn't watching pictures, but I doubt it because the 3rd fav didn't move a millimetre. It was so strange to watch.

volume on the past few races was kak

The prospect of Chelmsford and Ffast Loss doesn't sound very thrilling for tonight
