JACKPOT TRIAL RUN AT FLOS LAS (SUNDAY 16TH APRIL 2017) FUN BUT SERIOUS COMPETITION. SELECT EIGHT HOR

edited April 2017 in Betting Chat
In Response to JACKPOT TRIAL RUN TOMORROW (SUNDAY 15TH APRIL). ROGER, DO YOU HAVE TIME TO CONFIRM MEETING AND DO THE INITIAL SPREADSHEET?:
Hi all. Well there was a carry over of the Jackpot today, not much, just over £9K. Whilst it would not be enough of a roll over to go for it for real, we could do a trial run, as Sunday's racing is A LOT LESS competitive than today's. No guarantee of success, but certainly a fighting chance. There are three possible meetings. namely, Flos Las, Southwell(A/W) and Plumpton. Pretty sure it will be either Flos Las or Southwell (A/W). My money's on FLOS LAS . The dynamic of the races at Flos Las or Southwell (A/W) would fit in well with our strategy, although obviously we'd need a bigger roll over. But a good one to trial, as other than the small roll over, the racecards are a "good fit" for our approach. Shall we go for it? Hypothetically of course. Roger, do you have time to confirm the meeting and prep the initial spreadsheet for me? Cheers, G

    But a good one to trial, as other than the small roll over, the racecards are a "good fit" for our approach.

    Selections below. Our choices are in blue, the one's we have removed base on people's removal choices are in yellow. (We would not be on the horses in yellow, just the blue ones:

    Cost of perm would be 960 lines at 50p = £480.00

    Hi Zadoc.

    Not sure if you have gone to bed. I didn't want to do the spreadsheet if you were too.

    I'll give it until midnight and if I haven't heard from you I will do it then.

    Hopefully you will see this in the morning and not duplicate the effort.

    Cheers,

    Hi Zadoc, just to let you know, I am doing the spreasheet now.

    FYI Zadoc, going forward it may be best to have two templates, one for flat racing that has a column for the draw number and one for jumps that doesn't.

  • edited April 2017
    Hi all.

    I have updated the opening post with a "first pass" for Flos Las.

    This has been purely statistical based (to cover 70% or more of the betting market in each leg) without looking at a single piece of horse form (yet)

    So it is not a case of which horses should we have IN our Jackpot. The question is the opposite:

    Of those highlighted in BLUE, who can we leave out?

    We need to get rid of about EIGHT HORSES for the perm to be about the right size, including AT LEAST THREE from the last race, where I have selected all of them.

    So, my question for you form studier's, is simple:

    GIVE ME EIGHT I CAN OMIT


    Who is prepared to put their head on the parapet and potentially remove a horse that costs us the hypothetical Jackpot.

    I have already done the shortlist, so if something wins that is not on there, you can blame me. I may add a springer or two back in later :=)

    This is ABSOLUTELY the sort of situation I expect us to be in when we "GO LIVE" so if you want to be actively involved in horse selection after GO-LIVE, it would be good if you could contribute to this task today.

    Please post your suggested "removals" no later than 1.30PM.

    Cheers,

    G
  • edited April 2017
    To track how well you do with "removals", I am awarding a points system as follows:

    Successfully remove a 5/1 shot or less (5 points)
    Successfully remove a 11/2 to 15/2 shot (4 points)
    Successfully remove a 8/1 to 11/1 shot (3 points)
    Successfully remove an 12/1 shot or bigger (2 points)

    If your removal wins at 12/1 or bigger (minus 10 points)
    If your removal wins at 8/1 to 11/1    (minus 8 points)
    If your removal wins at 11/2 to 15/2   (minus 6 points)
    If your removal wins at 5/1 or less     (minus 5 points)

    We will keep track of the AVERAGE points per horse, per person, so we know who to listen to at go live. I may amend the points scoring system if it proves not to be optimal.

    I will also compete in this task.

    Please note, suggested removals, MUST, be currently highlighted in BLUE on the opening post.

    Can every person competing/contributing in this, please post their EIGHT horses prior to 1.00PM.

    We will keep a league table from now on, in all trial runs and then a new league table will start at go-live.

    The price used to determine the points will be that in "THE LATEST" column, as this is the best info available at the time the JACKPOT is placed.

    This is a fun, but also serious comp, if we can get the "best candidates" for selecting horses to remove, it will greatly assist our chances of winning when we do it for real.

    Cheers,

    G

    Please use the format of my selections above as your template. Non Syndicate members are also welcome to post their selections for removal here too.

    Just to stress the importance of this task.

    The cost of the full perm on the opening post would be prohibitive.

    It would be 6,720 lines = £3,360

    The size of the perm after removing my 8 selections is:

    1,500 lines = £750. (A lot but achievable)

    Having people who are adept in correctly selecting "losers" from a narrowed list of selections, would significantly increase our chance of success.

    Hi Micky, thanks for this. As per the instructions.

    Ideally I wanted three horses to remove in the 4.40PM, and a total of eight.

    You have a total of 8, but only one from the 4.40PM.

    Could you please amend.

    Not your fault re twitter, I didn't know either until MK pointed it out, but at least we know to check there going forward.
