Not relevant to BA, but testing something out on tiny stakes. Came back to my PC to this. :)

48.0 lol

That's the fun of the Greyhounds, outsiders freely available at 4 times their SP.

It's BSP maybe, I made a piddling £3 on the race. Although thankfully I did a lot better an hour later.

Yeah I had a take limited SP on that one. Had to use non BA as I can't do it on here, though a suggestion is in I think

Closely followed by another - compounding a small virtual bank

Backing [not Dutch] the last three in order of favouritism minimum 6 runners 120 sec out you will be pleasantly surprised !!! And then refine ....

Is there any chance you could post your stats on that because looking at the 12,516 UK dogs that qualified in August and using 2% commission I get the results below (top chart)?

I guess you're using data to look at this too and I wonder if you're getting the better results as shown in the bottom chart as a result of hindsighting, ie using the bsp order of favouritism which you won't know at -120s ?

Both charts to a £1 level stake.

These simple things never work but I thought I'd run the numbers for you so you don't have to just take my word for it.

I also did a quick test on 1, 2, 3, & 4 outsiders for you too. (just the 6 dog races as above).

Good morning Shaun

Unfortunately, other than interrogating my P&L I have no historical data to support this, it was sometime early July, following trials.

I tested LIVE using 00.01p level stakes taking LTP at 120 seconds pre-race. I was quite surprised by the results averaging 60% strike rate. That was at random, so this could be refined somewhat ....

Cool, I wasn't trying to find fault but seeing as you'd been good enough to share I thought it only right to reciprocate with what I'd found out about it. In fairness you did say it would need refining.

It does give me a chance to use my new word of the day though 'ipsedixitism' :)

Good evening Shaun

A welcome contribution and a fresh pair of eyes always welcome, indeed.
Would you consider exploring this further. If so, I would be interested to know how you get on ...

Good luck

Hi All (First Post),

So I've fired up BA on Betdaq and had a go at the dogs.... Is it me or is the lack of liquidity a joke? I've seen Peter sink a grand into BF on the nags quicker than I can get 20p matched on the favorite at the 21:28 in Doncaster.

But seriously, I'm a complete novice so is it me or is Greyhound Trading on Betdaq a pointless exercise other that to learn the functionality of Bet Angel ?

Thanks,

Volume on Betdaq is much lower across all sports compared to Betfair, sometimes it can work in your favour ie, during larger racing meetings. but markets that are relatively low volume on Betfair to start with are almost nonexistent on Betdaq

There is an opportunity there for you to create your own market. Think outside the box.
