I'd completely disagree with 'Will NEVER make you ANY profit'. This type of automation file along with a number of others that require the user to pick the selections its ran on can all be profitable - the only way not to be able to profit from these type of files is not being able to identify the right selections to apply it to, so i cant see how anyone could basically say;Frogmella wrote: ↑Sat Jun 24, 2017 1:20 pmI can't bear watching newbies wasting their time with this.
Automated Dobbing at 50% or Back to Lay at 30%, 20%, 10% or even just 10 ticks. Will NEVER make you ANY profit. (As you bring the target exit price closer to your entry point the winnings get smaller and smaller but the losses, while getting less frequent, are still the same size.)
And whatever you do, DON'T try and deploy an in-play stop to save your initial stake, if you do, you will LOSE even more, I can guarantee that.
Patternform ratings are useless, you might as well get a monkey to pick your dobbers.
Lay to Back is even worse.(Greater risk for smaller returns)
Don't waste your time with any of it.
'Its impossible for anyone to consistently be able to identify horses that will run well'
I do agree with you that 'Patternform' is useless and i personally don't bother with it but I do use the two sites listed at the beginning of the thread to shortlist potential selections. I've also looked at years of data and know which courses, distances even race types that tend to suit DOBing/B2L's etc (and the ones that dont). So that is always taken into consideration when I'm choosing my selections.
I don't do a massive amount of DOBing (on and off I may be do 12-15 selections a week sometimes less) but the ones i do are all carefully selected and ill generally get a strike rate of around 75%-80% in a given week.
Go to any site including the two i have listed at the start of the thread and blindly just choose to DOB the top 5 or 10 selections you can see and your probably going to lose money. However if you put the time and effort in to choosing the right runners then it can and will make a profit.
