Hello, as of tomorrow i will post my bets based on steven skienas methods the idea being many small betting edges are better than looking for 1 big edge.

Lingfield 19:46 — Latest Tote check​

The important point is that our probabilities remain frozen. Only the market comparison changes.

Decision​

£1 WIN — Chapman's Peak
Nothing has changed in the Tote forecast that makes me want to abandon him. Our estimated fair price is 9.1, versus a Tote forecast of 12.0, giving:
EV = (0.11 × 12.00) − 1 = +0.32
So that's our strongest qualifying edge.
I'm deliberately not adding Mbappe. +0.21 is attractive on paper, but at this early stage of building the model I'd rather demand a larger margin for error.
Likewise, we're not betting Fallacious Promise despite rating him the most likely winner. At 2.00 versus our 2.6 fair price, he's poor value.
So for me this is simple: Chapman's Peak only, £1 win. If you place it, tell me and I'll record the bet in our ledger.
In future i will use current isp near to race time.
