I think that common question is flawed and misses a key factor. You're not the only one in the market. Other people are starting and stopping strategies or looking out for patterns and adapting. It's a moving target. I started running one in early May, who's to say I'm not affecting yours, or that if you stop yours then mine would perform better. Dog markets especially are tiny and it doesn't take much to rock the boat. You'll little corner shop might be ticking along just fine, until Tesco open a shop next door.
Everyone has gotten in the greyhounds game eh. Well done for making it work. I've tried greyhounds on multiple occasions to no avail. I guess I need more data, patience and hard work. As always my inbox is open to little hints and pearls of wisdomShaunWhite wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 6:34 pmI think that common question is flawed and misses a key factor.

As well as time period. Cos there are quite a few valid strategies with <500 bets a yr, & waiting 10yrs to confirm it... no thanks!! Not everyone trades high frequency strategies.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 6:34 pmI think that common question is flawed and misses a key factor.
Personally, I value the "shape" of the equity curve very highly (I like seeing roughly consistent gains & drawdowns)
I don't care how many bets, we start seeing a downward concave.. maybe Tesco's moving in

Time is good point, I'd guess that dogs might have the highest trader:punter ratio of any mainstream market so would be heaviliy influenced by who's doing what. Given the same number of picks, you'd be more confident in a strategy that lasted all year than one that lasted all afternoon.
I noticed when I went to bed last night nothing was available yet.
As of right now the morning cards and 2 afternoon cards have been added.
I presume a 3rd afternoon card and the evening cards will be added in due course.
I backed 5/6 runners in a fresh market at 9.8 today out of curiosity.
The £2 bets came in once again on all runners but at lower prices on the 5/6 dogs I backed (matched @ 4, 4, 5, 8, 8) and matched at 10 on the dog I didn't back lol.
Oh no I spaghetti'd it !!!!!!!! Got stuck in a position and wasted sooooooo much time !!!
How frustrating! Still my best ever result on a greyhound market but could have been 3x on a slightly different day.
Volume was around £260k

the management of the markets seems to be an absolute shower today. have they put a summer intern in charge or something?
