day 1 results with staking plan

had a quick check at the betfair SPs and by using these I would have backed 26 of the 27 selections (avoiding the 1/4 shot!)


total stakes would have been 75pts


total returns would have been 131.1pts less 5% commission for example = 124.5pts


profit thus was 49.5pts or 66%


so a level stakes profit of 14% would have been 66% by using a staking plan that reflects my picks / winners which are often in the range of 7/1 or so


clear indicator that good days will be very good! obviously those days where the mid range picks don't win will suffer as the stakes will rack up quickly but I will keep an eye on both of these as the staking plan is sensible if the results continue like this



staking plan

usually do level stakes as it makes sense to me and easy to calculate etc etc.. but I have been toying with a simple staking plan where I increase stakes on my longer prices as I do tend to avoid anything that's evens or less and do well with horses that are in the 5-10/1 range it seems


I look for these when picking as the lower strike rate is offset hugely by the returns - I've never really seen the point in backing shorties as they don't win enough and the returns are often rubbish


I've also become a win only backer as I rarely back each way unless there is a good outsider up against a particularly strong fav etc


anyway, the stakes I'm thinking of are as follows >


under evens > no bet
evens to 2/1 > 1pt bet
2/1 to 3/1 > 2pt bet
3/1 to 4/1 > 3pt bet
4/1 to 5/1 > 4pt bet
5/1 to 10/1 > 5pt bet
10/1 to 20/1 > 2pt bet
20/1 + > 1pt bet


* this will show the best returns when I hit my usual long-term averages which is a strike rate of 20% or so and average odds of about 7/1 > this should equate to a profit obviously!


* depends on the meetings and types of races too

horse-racing tips

regular horse racing tips from the UK and occasionally from australia

will post the meeting and race of course and all stakes will be level (ie 1pt) although I might run a staking sytem too to see if it produces better results

will be picking all races so there will be odds-on shots in there but I will also pick a nap and next best daily and will run 2 x singles and a double on these too
