I know it is hard to say but how accurate is it in replicating live experience.Using same automatic rules and same bank/staking methods the practice mode nearly always provides better outcomes.I am not using big stakes and I am scalping favourites in horse racing markets.Whilst I appreciate my bets in practice mode are not entering the live markets I believe they are not large enough to significantly affect /skew markets.Have tried to replicate live experience in terms of funds liabilities and psychology in practice mode.Any comments

Providing the stakes are in moderation then practice is very accurate especially pre-race the biggest reason for different results is usually psychological

Thanks I was monitoring live markets as I used practice mode.They seemed very similar Nine out of my ten trades proved positive with a net profit overall.Will monitor strategy over several weeks trying it out on different race meetings/days/ size of markets to see if it is a viable strategy.Agree the psychology is the big issue and you have to have nerves of steel.
