Formerly a football acca picker turned horse racing lay man using data driven strategies. The data don’t lie! Will regularly post PnL to prove it (to myself!)
Best day so far with the data driven lay system.

For balance, my biggest drawdown has been £-408.89; exactly one month ago today,

Very happy with Nightingale this evening. 5 lay selections, a couple of them placed, but at short odds BSP (btwn 3.0 and 4.6) it produced a stress free best return of the month. Today's ROI was an eyewatering 42.61%
I've closed out Nightingale and refined the strategy relaunched Nightingale 2.0 this week. I've carried over £171.00 of losses into the Nightingale 2.0 chart. The goal is to reduce the volatility experienced by Nightingale.

Does anyone else think it would be a good innovation for Betfair to allow the creation of sub-accounts?
I want to allocate my bank roll to different strategies rather than have the net result in one co-mingled high level account.
#Betfair
Things to consider when creating a betting strategy:
1) Is it scalable? - can the market absorb your bets
2) Is it executable? - can you get the bets on
3) Is there a meaningful body of historical data for back testing?

Nightingale 2.0 has been running since 25th March using data from
@fbd_rbd
Here is the results table over that period. Happy to take any questions, but the main takeaway is that the answers are in the data.
Why am I posting a £400 loss from a month ago?
1) I'm not only a 'sing when yer winning' acct.
2) Nov 7th return was the catalyst to iterate my strategy
3) Losing is learning - it's essentially a fully paid for lesson!

Only 2 lays today, both successes. I managed to make back £100 of yesterday's £420 mistake.
I'm being patient and allowing the system to get my error lay losses back.
Original Nightingale was split into 8 sectors (see image 10-Oct-23 to 24-Mar-24 ), some more profitable than others; the selection criteria were too lose in retrospect. Launched Nightingale 2.0 much tighter criteria and hopefully less volatility in week to week results.

When analyzing

data I take the reverse Moneyball approach.
Parroting my version of the scene where Peter Brand repeats to Billy Beane “He gets on base”; I study the data and to the question “what does the horse do?” I respond “It doesn’t win” 🤣🤣
Just ended 30 day trial run of my system devised with
@fbd_rbd
data. In hindsight it probably wasn’t ready to go live when it did. I made a some enhancements over the period. Can you see from graph when I deployed the changes!?

I adopted this concept from
@betangel
; adding a trendline on a chart of your strat's returns is a reminder of the inherent variability in any strat. It helps rationalize winning/losing streaks, and affirm the strat is long a term winner if sloping from bottom left to top right
@fbd_rbd
Starting a new horse racing lay system using your data, that I put into production today. It backtested well using over 2.5 years of data, so let’s see. 1 for 1 so far!
Just passed 210 lays for the system.
Ran statistical relevance analysis on the 210 lays:
Yield/ROI = 5.60%
Average Odds = 1.16
p-value = 0.64%
1-in-x probability = 155
Things are going in the right direction, this is very encouraging.
The data don't lie!
Why did I build a system for horseracing?
1) There's racing every day (almost!)
2) There is plenty of data available
3) (Most importantly) I have no clue about racing, so no legacy biases for horses/jockeys/trainers; I can literally follow the data unencumbered by 'feelings'
@FHG_Master
@fbd_rbd
Couldn’t agree more.
@fbd_rbd
provide that and supplement it with video content to kick start anyone’s journey. It’s then up to the individual to use the data and develop concepts that fit their own risk profile and betting agenda. 👍🏻
Whenever my lay strategy has a bad day, I take a moment to look at this chart back-testing 30 month's of data encompassing around 6,000 bets with a p-value of 0.08%. It provides perspective that success is earned over time.
@RoddersTrades1
I've only been running the system since October, when I came across
@fbd_rbd
data, it really changed my outlook, and approach to horse race betting.
I don't want to spoil the surprise as the P/L will be on the chart in the morning : )
Just been chatting with
@lewis_scutt
about p-value, so decided to run statistical relevance on Nightingale.
p-value definitely moving in the right direction, I'm very encouraged.
What I really embrace about the sports betting scene, is that not a day goes by without me learning something about the data, execution, strategy tweaks etc. That constant learning is a great stimulant.
