This has been going well at home, so I’m going to post the trial here for a while to keep me disciplined.
I will be attempting to spot horses who, in my opinion, have been treated too leniently in the weight - and have a better chance of winning than the handicapper seems to think.
Rules:
I will post the selections before the days racing - probably the night before.
Prices:
I have found that the best value for some of these selections is usually just before the off, so prices will not be updated until the end of the day. (I will be using auto-betfair to place the bets 5 minutes before the off, and the prices I get matched at will be used)
Staking:
Stakes will initially be 3% of the bank adjusted daily. This may change depending on the strike rate. [EDIT: Staking changed to 2% from post 236]
[EDIT NO 2: Stakes were changed to 1% of the bank from post 255]
Starting bank is £1000
