Sire
Forum is in another malaise at the moment , interest does go up and down it’s only natural

I always thought that targets were a good thing and something to be that be set and aimed for , even if falling short of the targets set there has to a way of measuring - The
Learning
Thought
Ingenuity
Perseverance
Accountability

Or whatever is your poison measure of success - most racing or gambling press give of the figure of 4% profit ( with inflation currently being 3.5% is not a realistic ambition for low figure punters other than as a leisure pursuit) as being realistic and the fact that only 2% of punters are long term profitable - load of Balls I say but what do I know of the whole population of punters.
So based on pete pete Double your Money thread I will trying to double a “Bank” I was thinking 25 point / bet Bank - multiple betting in events is allowed Run through Dec to Jan 2026 should reduce the impulse to force a bet - bets don’t have to be original ie if you post it own your thread or elsewhere it / they can be used here , but please add some reason why it’s a bet, don't want to analyse the whole event just the reason’s why it’s being bet.

Type of Bets - anything -
Forecasts odds to be at SP
All others at available odds at the time of posting
Single wins
Lays
Place bets down to 4 place
Horse Racing
Football
Golf
Cricket
Who cares , as long all bets are posted before the off - at the available odds

Most posters will be able to create a profit loss table or spread sheet so please post your own p/l table with % profit - table stops at 25 bets

I know some cannot or do not actually bet money so paper trading is allowed

It’s not about bragging it’s about learning through interaction and reasoned decision making so the more members that join in the better the experience for all should be.

Thoughts and ideas as always welcomed - I will be starting my effort later this week.
 
I use horseracebase to rate the race I choose using nearly 60 years experience.
I add speed figures then I ask a robot to analyse using Bayesian methods.
Once rated I get the robot to rerate the top 3 or 4 looking at profile information.
I often back the top 2 .
Today to join in 3.27 Chancellor is top, but Ebts Guard looks equally likely given his strong 1m record and weight form so back both for me .
 
I’ll bet trixies, if I don’t get three strong selections from the days racing I’ll add an antepost selection.

always a bit wary on these qualifier races

1st prize is well worth winning and 2nds not too bad - the 12 yr old looks to well in and might not get a better chance to qualify in this series

Olly Murphy’s seems to have galvanised Double Oban and has a strong profile for this race with no negativity.
 
One I fancy today at Wolverhampton 6.30 is Papa Cocktail value at 9/2 .
Strong profile with good course form .
