DOBING at 50% is not my cup of tea!

You might as well not DOB and just gamble.

I Just cannot like this trade!

Pick a couple of races per week, Yes you can pick off some profit but as a daily event I say No.

Thanks,

I don't DOB but I'm sure there are several opportunities a day. You won't know unless you spend a lot or time researching the markets.

There are several areas to look at when dobbing:

1. Is there one or even two short priced favourites which are not your dob. If there is then there will be a higher assumption that they will win, meaning the odds on your dob will take longer to shorten, if at all.

2. How many horses in the race.

3. Is your dob a front runner or close up with the pace.

4. What is the BSP of your dob. If its less than 6.0 then it will need to look like winning or close too it to dob properly.

5. Did your dob get a good start or did it fall out of the stalls, assuming short races.

6. How many races has it had and dob ratio.

7. Has it raced at this distance before or is it stepping up/down.

8. What win ratio does it have.

9. Is it wearing blinkers for the first time etc.

10. If its a Hcap race is the extra weight a problem.

11. Does it look out of sorts in the parade square or sweating allot.

Obviously you don't need to take all the above into account but as Derek said, you do need to do some homework.

Enjoy. :)
