Seasonality of Greyhound Racing

[StellaBot]

I will give a tip here for beginners

start off with your regional track(if not bulldozed by now)

upload results etc

Update spreadsheet

Maybe keep for continue monitoring

RESULT=no track left

[spreadbetting]

NO SAT POINT

NIL POI ONLY IF TENNIS

THATS THE DIFF

EASY

As easy as that?

[Naffman]

On the stella a bit early lad

[StellaBot]

I think if only 4 seasons

3 miss point?

Cheers Callum, not looked at doggos in years. Any volume graphs according to time of day, or over the week by any chance?

I remember quite a few decently liquid races in the evenings.

Callum might have something more recent, but this was last updated about 2 years ago, I suspect the volumes have increased slightly but I suspect the trends over days and times are still a good guide

sorry guys

do newcomers not have a greyhound spreadsheat?

[StellaBot]

I think seasonality is always acceptable
and easily got around

For what it's worth, I've placed a good few thousand trades since we came out of lockdown and my results are a mirror image of yours for Aug/Sept. I took a big dip during August and have come back strongly since the start of Sept. I'd be inclined to say it's variance and strategy dependent with it.

Perfect, thanks Dallas <3

I haven't done any work in this area so can't specifically tell if there is a pattern. But most sports to exhibit some seasonality.

Perhaps look at the big races and work your way to towards or away from those races.

Thank you, I'll give it a go.

Hoping so sniffer66, should come out in the wash longterm. I'm hoping if I do this long enough and monitor it, I can define a clear plan re. money management.

Just to chip in too. My recent data shows Tuesday being a good volume day and the kind of wave pattern with volume at different hours is still present; rising till about midday, dipping and another rise heading into the evening.

Thank you Dallas for representing it like that. Between that and Peter's suggestion, I'll have another go at modelling with my data with some new ideas!

That looks to me as if the volume on the dogs picks up when there is less horse racing on. 1300-1800 are the main hours of uk horse racing. I think they put less dogs on during these hours to avoid clashes.

The dogs are basically fillers for the betting shop when there is no horse racing on. So volumes pick up during the hours of less racing to compete with, as shown in your graphs.

Also at night there are more dog races and usually only one or maybe two horse meetings to compete with, and I think the majority of the better class dog races are run in the evening too, which probably also attract more volume than a daytime bags race.

Good point, Fred.

To TS, from september bf increased bets limit per hour from 1k to 5k, so try to look from that perspective.

To be honest

A stratedgy that produces 80% strike rate plus
In any sport
doesnt worry about seasons
