Today's Horse Racing

[Naffman]

when I have an SP bet and there is a withdrawal can I cancel the SP bet?

Pretty sure you can't

[dragontrades]

Thanks, I always forget about it and then suddenly see a big liability when the market goes IP

[Euler]

5 tracks on the eve card tonight

Manic, but fun.

[Derek27]

Co-favourites at Ayr, all at 6.0.

[dragontrades]

Enjoyed the evening more than than Ascot today

[Derek27]

Didn't really enjoy RA today, enjoyed this evening much much less!

Nevermind, still got a few US races to trade and then Randwick tomorrow morning.

Derek, do you use form figure or anything to inform your US and AUS trading? I applaud you for making it work.

No, I'm pretty much a cold trader. AUS trading isn't difficult. In fact it's much easier than the UK markets for the bigger meetings.

For US racing I'm testing a backing strategy. As I lost so much with Betfair when I used to arb US racing, in theory, I should win backing the horses I would have laid when I had bookie accounts.

How did you lose on arbs?

[Derek27]

I didn't lose arbing, I lost with Betfair, and won significantly more with the bookies.

Ah, that must help with the PC. They don't get after you for PC avoidance? Also, how do you keep from getting gubbed at the bookies?

[PDC]

Newmarket doing their best to clash with Ascot despite being scheduled to be on 20 minutes before.

I haven't. All my accounts have been restricted now. I wish I just placed straight bets with the bookies while I could bet with them, I would have won a lot more. Hopefully if my backing strategy takes off the big wins plus losses will reduce PC.

[Naffman]

How you going to place these back bets at big odds though Derek when you're already restricted?

I'm talking about placing bets on the exchange. I know I won't get the same odds but if my arbing lays on Betfair made quite a massive loss they must be value back bets. Still testing the strategy though.
