Going to give this a try, it is going to be 2 different challenges in the one thread, £1000 starting in each:
First is the, Off to a Flyer(OFT) selections, This will be a bet on the first Fav at each meeting daily.
The other is the Get Out of Jail(GOJ) selections, which will be a bet on the last Fav at each meeting.
Selections are for unamed favs. Daily stakes will be 5% of total bank, divided by the number of selections. Irish Racing is included.
From (10/02/07) stakes will be 3% of the Bank per selection.
The aim is obviously to reach 5000 mythical pound, but also i want to see how this works out over a good bit of time.
I have been paper-trading January so far:
66 races(abandoned meetings included with return being entered as 0):
OTF - 27 wins 6 NR (45% SR 27/60) +37.70pts
GOJ - 27 wins 6 NR (45% SR 27/60) +71.25 pts
