Profitable Lays

Last race of the day lost 9 (ish) points L

Chris’ website shows a loss in the 4 o’clock at Taunton where I do not. I have checked this several times. So my results for yesterday are not as bad as the “official” results.

 

Day 21 – 30 December:  Today -4.72 points. Total 4.13 points.

Overall Strike Rate is 58.33% with average odds of 2.90.
Overall return to £10 stakes is -£3.24 and to £25 stakes is -8.10.

Oops, when I checked why a positive points total resulted in a negative balance using real money, I removed the Betfair commission from the £25 calculation and forgot to put it back! I have amended this oversight above.

Happy and prosperous New Year everyone.

Bet4mula

WEEK 8

With the seasonal festivities in full swing this week, a late posting on the tipping selections from the Bet4mula service. After 6 days of racing – we are treading water but comfortably on the right side of the profit line.

Weeks summary – 5 consecutive days of losses made good this afternoon by Le Bau Bai running very well to take a deserving first place in the Welsh National at Chepstow this afternoon, followed by Lifestyle taking first place a little later this afternoon at Kempton (Net 1.35 points profit)

Herewith this weeks results :

(19th  Dec:-1.5pts / 20th Dec : -6pts / 21st Dec : -9.9pts / 22nd Dec : -3pts / 26th Dec : -9pts /27th Dec :  +30.75pts)

Total Points Profit : 103.6
Selections : 239 / Wins : 58  / Strike Rate : 24.3%

Profitable Lays

Day 19 – 22 December:  Today 3.82 points. Total 4.35 points.

Overall Strike Rate is 57.00% with average odds of 2.91.
Overall return to £10 stakes is £4.30 and to £25 stakes is £108.75.

 

If I read the selections website correctly, there won’t be any selections posted for the next week. As I do not get the Racing Post (and the online version isn’t used for this), there won’t be any results recording/updates either.

 

So have a merry Christmas everybody.

Profitable Lays

Day 17 – 20 December:  Today 3.49 points. Total 0.04 points.
Day 18 – 21 December:  Today 0.49 points. Total 0.53 points.

Overall Strike Rate is 56.84% with average odds of 2.90.
Overall return to £10 stakes is -£31.41 and to £25 stakes is -£78.52.

 

Here we have a little problem.  If I remove the 5% Betfair commission per race that returns a profit I do get £13.25 profit (£25 * 0.53). Therefore it is due to the Betfair commission that the return to £25 stakes currently shows a loss of £78.

Therefore I have to question the £12,900 profit stated on the sales page. 515 * £25 only equals £12,875 anyway, but there is no allowance for Betfair commission. 515 * £23.75 (to allow for Betfair commission) is £12,230, but as the above demonstrates, this is an overly simplistic and fundamentally flawed way of showing the potential profit from the system.

That said I won’t care if, at the trial’s end, the system shows a profit. But I felt a need to bring some reality to the headline profit figure.

Bet4mula

WEEK 7

Continuing with similar positive strides in the right direction as last week, the Bet4mula tipping system carries us back into over 100 points profit territory.

The ‘ changes’ to the selection process that I mentioned previously do seem to have made  a difference in the last few weeks (Summary :  four winning versus 3 losing days = Net 42.6 points profit)

Herewith this weeks results :

(12th  Dec: +27 pts / 13th Dec : +10.4pts / 14th Dec : +25.6pts / 15th Dec : +3.6pts / 16th Dec :-12pts / 17th Dec :  -9pts/ 18th Dec : -3pts)

Total Points Profit : 102.3
Selections : 220 / Wins : 54  / Strike Rate : 24.5%
