Who says trading dogs is a waste of time?

Threads like this make me want to have another crack at the dogs. Have never been able to get anything with enough juice for the squeeze, but perhaps it's time to give it another go!

Having never really got on with the horses, I made the dogs my area of specialism. So far, so good, though small stakes relatively speaking.

CS

Built something really simple based on info shared in this thread and have been running it all afternoon on minimum stakes.

Going well so far.

I recently added a minimum volume hurdle to mine and it's performing much better. My average result is still pretty small though.

Appreciate this is going back 8.5 years, but do you happen to remember whether this minimum volume hurdle was market or selection volume?

Nasty.

My first losing week for months last week. Mostly horse racing.

We should have taken a few weeks off to a desert island like Peter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glzczygk-Ns

It's honestly fine, it's a commission churning bot that's actually made a profit over the past few years and adds about £100 a week in comm.

A desert island in winter sure sounds enticing Thankfully on holiday soon as these bleak winter days/nights are depressing.

I'm off on hols in a couple of weeks too. Going to the US so I hope they don't start WW3 while I'm there.

I used to churn commission but one day Betfair's "Integrity Team" wrote to me to tell me to stop it.
