[AusRace] The Editors Method - a system

[L.B.Loveday]

Tony,

 

I have a bespoke download program that lets me select what races and fields
to download and an error trap that retries after a 30 second delay.

 

On Saturday my hourly down-loads ran without a hitch during beer-time and my
manually-instigated downloads of Sunday's races from 5pm on were fine during
betting-time.

Len - Saturday the download permissions improved until Belmont race 4 - this
was data sheet line 200 (1328784_04) then it jagged on that line for the
remainder of the day.

This meant no data for MR8,MR9,SR9,BR9 etc. It is not a regular thing

There seems to be a clutter of international races (Busan Korea eg), and
sure I acknowledge they have international readers/clients but perhaps they
could compartmentalise each country racing (or something) - I'm unlikely to
bet into Chile for instance, or Korea.

 

I have emailed them

 

Cheers

Tony

My last hourly auto-download of Saturday's details was at 23:23, my last
manually instigated download of Sunday's was at 20:47, with all 8 races
there, then at 00:20 my hourly auto-download switched to Sunday, with
Carnavron missing and it's still missing now I'm back on the job at 5:30.

 

Here's a previous DO explanation for this recurring issue:

 

***********

Hi Len, 

 

This occurs when TAB reload their upcoming day's racing schedule. 

 

They do it, for reasons only known to them, occasionally which always causes
us a few headaches. 

 

Cheers,

They know the problem, they should fix it.

LBL did a big exam of these rules for the Editors Method

 

SUMMARY: 100K races  sorted  out  to 20 000 with criteria that matched (top
rated only) resulted in 16% better strike rate, 7.5% better return at level
stake SP.

 

Thanks for your endeavours Len.

Cannot get DynamicOdds today - pages won't load past 1100 hours? So cannot
tease with todays results.

 

Cheers

It returned a slight loss at SP, but who takes SP? Average SP Market% is
running at 120%, average Top Final Price market from the 9 bookmakers I
monitor at 110% (117% and 108% for Syd, Mel, Bri metro).

 

Average Top Fluctuation % = 111% (109%  for Syd, Mel, Bri metro).

 

No problem quoting.

Len - thanks

 

a.	You didn't say, and I assume, the return was positive?
b.	It may be hard, not impossible, to get a single pick into profit
(Wizard maintain their top pick returns 11% - although this was calculated
some years ago now. Malcolm Knowles makes a similar claim, again in the
past.)

That was a big examination, thanks again, and can I quote you?

 

Cheers

Tony,

 

I looked at 100,000+ races and my top-rated (being the only ones I look at
let alone record) and 20,000+ of my top rated fitted the criterion (I did
not find any that went from Good to Heavy although my data does include
Original Condition and Race Condition).

 

The 20,000 had a 16% better strike rate and a 7.5% better return at level
stake SP. 

 

Cheers,

 

LBL

This one, and two variations, have been around for many years.

It seeks to improve the strike rate of a public selector - meaning a
newspaper tipster

 

 

The version 'Reckoner' sold in Melbourne claims that the elements under
consideration are those present in the past form of 99% of winners .

 

The Editor featured here is one discussed in Racing Review Issue 562 by
Anthony Scott on November 9 1977 - his version is that of Edgar Horn (USA)
circa 1930 (as they say)


 

The runners to consider are those tipped by your choice of public selector. 

a.	The runner must have raced on the track
b.	The runner must have raced within the last 15 days
c.	The runner must have finished within 5 lengths of the winner last
start (or won, of course)
d.	The runner must have finished not further back than 4th last start
(including 4th, of course)
e.	No maiden races for 3yo or older are to be considered
f.	There is directions (rules) regarding changing conditions on race
day - the selections were made for a good track and the racing is now heavy
- no bets
g.	Mr Scott added a rule of his own - the runner must have form at the
distance ( a start, a place, a win - in ascending power)

 

Cheers

 

Tony
