Graph for UK Hounds for July
Graph uses a starting bank of 1000. (Would you have quit this strategy at the mid-July dip?). I'll post up the graph for Aussie dogs for July if there is interest.
Achieved on an all auto basis using guardian. This is a good example how to win in the "long run".
Participated in 1445 markets for a profit of $1343.29. So my "long run" winning average is $0.92 per market. But, slow and steady wins the race. I'm happy to take that out of the market each month while I'm asleep.
Motivation from other Trader's blogs and P&Ls.
Nicely done gazuty, I for one would like to see what's possible on Aussie dogs as well. My friend has a similar average profit per race on UK dogs, he started trading 3 months ago, but he can only dream about full automation at this point so this is excellent motivation.
Brilliant result gazuty, congratulations mate
I've been looking at automation on dogs. The ability to open more than 1 copy of BA at a time without incurring charges these days, has opened my eyes to greyhound markets. I never used to bother, as the liquidity was poor and there was plenty of other stuff I was more interested in. Whereas now, I have my 7 year-old Dell laptop chundering away with just the dog races loaded into Guardian
92p per race is a blinding result

Thanks all for the feedback.
Aussie Dogs chart. Same strategy, all auto, but more "all over the place". Notice a "mega" result near the start - (I think I benefited from someone else's fat finger).
Participated in 1032 markets for a $1643 profit @ $1.52 per market. If we exclude the "outlier" result we have 1031 markets for a $1294 profit @ $1.25 per market.

I did a tweak and the funny thing is, I couldn't remember the date, but it seems pretty obvious from the graphs it was around 15 July.PeterLe wrote:Well done gazuty. did you tweak the algo mid way through July?

Agree, that is what got me into the Dogs. I now run up to 5 at a time on the vps.LeTiss 4pm wrote:The ability to open more than 1 copy of BA at a time without incurring charges these days, has opened my eyes to greyhound markets.

Great results, congratulations!
92 cents may not sound like much, but with so many markets it's awesome. After the introduction of api-ng I never got around to reimplement the strategy for the dogs again, so with respect to the title of this thread... you just really motivated me to pick this up again!
With so many races, how do you handle transaction costs? I ended up counting the number of transactions I did in an hour and skip the ones late in the hour if I had done more than 1000 already. (Another reason why I don't do dogs yet)

Good question. I'm not on UK races. So Aussie races finish, dogs start, UK dogs start, Aussie dogs end, US racing starts at 2 am or 3 am for me.marksmeets302 wrote:Great results, congratulations!

This automation triggers around 500 bets per hour on average.
So while I might occasionally breach the limit, I've also generally generated a bit of commission to make a bit of a buffer.
Do you do any manual trading at all ?gazuty wrote:

On a Saturday and Sunday afternoon I'll trade the odd race here or there on the vps via my iPhone or the iPad.Archangel wrote:Do you do any manual trading at all ?
But I am not as good as my automations (except in a high volume market like a group 1 race in Australia) because I overbet and lack patience and end up constituting too much of the market. Automation doesn't have emotions.
Although the mix of my P/L does change, the amounts I have won, oddly, are within 5% of the absolute figures for the last 5 yrs.

Got me a bit confused here at first. With the selection "Just for today" I thought you were raking in 18M per year 
.
A very, very mighty result. Well done! This is all manual labour or do have things automated?
