Research before the markets get started

[RussellMarsh]

Hello there guys my name is Russ and I'm new to the forum.
One thing that I would love to find more about is that Peter talks in his videos about preparing for the days racing etc but I haven't managed to come across a video that that explains what that really means. If there is a video for this I would really appreciate a link ..

Peter rightly says there is very little activity in those markets until 10 minutes before the race so what is there to research exactly?

The only conclusion without further advice is that he is talking about learning the "likely" shape of the market (such as in "one strong favourite" "too strong favourites" "big field with one short favourite" "8 runners with three favourites" etc.)

I have looked around for information such as likely Steamers or Drifters which could possibly help you place an early bet on a horse to trade it later but apart from that I am struggling to come up with any way to spend a morning researching these largely dead markets.

Any tips out there guys? or Peter?

Thanks very much I love this software, it's almost a work of art and although I'm on the trial for now even if I can't quite make it profitable in the short term I'm going to licence it for the year anyway.. I will get a lot of fun out of it even if I can't make any money, I love this kind of really good tech and appreciate how much thought has gone into it!

Welcome to the forums, Russ.

On a very simplistic level, races of a lower quality and with short-priced favourites 'tend' to be more volatile and the more competitve races like decent group racing tend to be more stable.

That said, as Peter said in a video a while back, the markets are generally more volatile than they used to be.

Best wishes,

Maybe these old blog posts can provide some food for thought.
