I'm going to (hopefully consistantly) keep a bit of a diary in here on my experiences with the win2win selections and see if I can't at least match the profit/loss pts that the main man himself achieves.
I'm unsure as to whether I will be able to do them race by race. I really doubt there's a single member who can tbh. Unless there's any who make their entire living through it then most people will be having to work a proper job throughout the day. I'm fortunate enough that I make my living from online poker so I can be at the pc at all times. But as full concentration is usually needed placing so many bets through the day then it's still going to be very difficult. Will see how it pans out.
So, starting with yesterday, I started a bit late and didn't get every horse on (still getting used to the mayhem) but ended up with a 7.2pt losss for the day. (if calculated correctly). I am staking to £10 levels, which ultimately means my bank should ideally be £1k (I think).
I will be TRYING to make some price decisions with some of the races, ie last night I scanned through the selections and cards and decided to lay Lightning Rod in the 2.30 at Muss right there and then, taking pretty much 2/1. He was 2/1F last time out and fell, or unseated, which didn't give me much reason to believe he would go off any shorter coming back, especially with Woody Waller looking the form horse that should defo get backed in. Well it's all abandoned now so whatevs.
Only 1 meeting today so let's hope there's no pesky winners!!
BANK: £928
BTW, I worked out the profit/loss like this. Amount of lays done was 27. 20 lost and 7 won. So I take the number 27, minus 5% comms from 20 of those pts, well that's 1pt. So it's now 26pts, minus all the pts losses. So a horse wins at 6.0, I minus 5pts. Well I think that's right anyway.
The prices I got on winners were:
Piscean 5.1 (went off at 11/2 which I missed and had to get on in running, clearly as he was about to win)
Emma's Gift: 8.8 (8/1 SP so not bad)
Layline: I took 7.0 a bit early not thinking it would be backed. (9/2 SP)
Starkie 3.7 (5.2 SP)
Face Value 3.2 (7/4 SP)
Palmyra 7.2 (11/2 SP)
Burnhope 5.2 (4/1 SP)
So that's 26pts - 4.1 - 7.8 - 6 - 2.7 - 2.2 - 6.2 - 4.2 =

This WOULD be absolute perfection if it wasn't for the cut-off region horses. For example: Laura's Bairn won @ 10/1 and was a lay under 12.0 only. Not long before the race it was sitting on 12.0 and there's no way you can put a near cut-off lay on to SP, because in most cases will it drift over the cut-off making it a non selection. I guess you could say the advantage of this is that if a near cut-off horse drifts then it's more likely to lose so getting it on at 15 or something SHOULDN'T see too many mishaps. And if it's backed in to win , well at least you got the shortest price! Anyway I didn't even look at the horse near the off, my eyes were fixed on the other 2 horses as I'd already put it out of mind and forgotten about it so I've no idea if the BF price was layable or not. I missed it so it's a result!
Ok slight exaggeration. Let's see if I tot all this up right.
I left the last race for betangel to deal with, got home and found it had layed nothing which was good because an 11/1 winner came in. Presumably everything was over the cut-off although one horse was 8/1 SP and I left the order at 11 so unsure how it missed.
