That's fine I thought you might have something universal that would feed all the times into excel not just the selections you need.

Thanks

Hi,

Here is another idea. I made this up this afternoon while looking at different stuff around the dogs. So it might be a load of donkey.

Add up each dogs last 5 form rating numbers and take that number away from their TS rating.

Then BTL the dog with the highest number and LTB the dog with the lowest number.

See screenshot as a rough example.

Cheers,

Found this theme interesting. How did Archery do yesterday?

I am a believer that there are always people out there with more knowledge than me (particularly given the multiplicity of different sports) and hence am interested when someone looks to find that edge in a sport where I have found it difficult to get that edge. Am not loking for someone to give away their crown jewels but like to hear about how others are doing and think that this approach has got to be part of a profitable strategy - even if time heavy for collating the data

Hi,

Yeserday i was + £63.18 after taking a few hits whereby a few of my BTL selections were apposed by SportingLIfe and some of my LTB selections were actually supported by Sporting Life. If it hadnt been for those then it would have ended up around £87 for the day. Biggest problem is scaling up and/or getting matched on the Greyhounds. You can drip feed to a point but not if the market suddenly corrects itself during the last minute.

Its not longer heavy for callating the data and deciding which are BTL / LTB trades. A forum member went the extra mile and has automated all the donkey work. He deserves a big thankyou from me.

Hi archery

Congratulations on finding and developing a system that works for you. I've had a different system based on the fastest and slowest time of the dogs but going through each market and copying the times into excel was taking a lot of time - I could probably do about 40 an hour...

Do you have a file that could populate race times into excel into a format like this one below or something similar?

I sympathise with you on the input side of it. Mind you, it's quite cathartic @ 6.30am, smashing the keyboard and listening to Radio 1 in the background. It helps, as you crack on, and gets you into a rhythm.

Also, the motivation is, "this time next year"....

Another method would be to Sum the Ratings to get the Average then compare each runners individual Rating to that figure

I have day job from 6 in the morning so I'm usually smashing the keyboard in the evenings and on Sunday morning.
And yes, the 'this time next year....' thought has always been there - a couple of years now

It's then possible to create a betting forecast from the differential(s).

That's a point, the cards are already up on the Racing Post website. Might pull an all nighter....

Following the old and new system, looks like it picked the same dog for this evening at Nottingham - 19:57

Be interesting to see how much the price comes in, if at all.

Have fun,

I think 5 went off as favourite but that didnt go as i thought.

Trying to think why all that money came in for Dog 1 though ?

Interesting:

SL Pick was: (1-6-4)
RP Pick was: (5-4-3)

Both my systems said: 5

I might be misreading the sheet you posted up, wasn't T1 the lowest time average qualifier?
