...Something I first told you about in August...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I was a bit lazy over the weekend and didn't get out much.

The 3D printer was doing a lot of work though as I hardly gave it a rest.

Been printing all kinds of things from Christmas decks to figurines :-)

Morning!

*System Builder Tips*  Study courses with draw bias, like Chester or Ascot. At Chester, a low draw is key, while at Ascot, high draws can dominate in big-field sprints on the straight course.

A quick apology. I uploaded the wrong software to the Beta test area on Friday.

So if all you were getting was the Betfair screen then please go and download it again. 

You might remember that back in August, I recorded a video about Mark's Lay System.

If you haven't seen it yet, you can watch it here:

Since then, I’ve been running the system with the "Split By 3" strategy.

That said, I’ll admit there were a couple of moments where the cost of recovery staking had me worried, and I reset it to normal.

Even though I run this system on a bot hosted on a VPS, I do keep a close eye on it.

For example, I had to reset the server on November 12th, but thankfully, it came right after a winning run of 8, so it wasn’t during a recovery phase.

I started with 50p stakes and gradually worked them up to £1.20 by that point. If I had been using a dedicated bank just for this method, I could have increased the stakes more quickly.

However, our bank fluctuates a lot because we’re testing multiple bots and about 10 systems at the same time.

Since resetting the bot in November, this system has brought in £46.00, and we’ve had another winning run of 8. Yesterday, I successfully completed another Split 3 recovery, and I’ve now raised the stakes to £1.70.

I thought I’d give you a quick update on where things stand.

If you asked me for my opinion on this system now, I’d say it performs decently at level stakes—though it can be a bit up and down (still profitable overall).

However, I’d recommend using a stake of 0.5% of your bank for easier-to-manage recoveries.

For my bot, I’ve set a price range of 1.10 to 9.99, avoiding favourites entirely.

Here’s an interesting stat: since August 1st, the system has made around 12 points profit at level stakes (including November). October, however, was a losing month at -12 points, which was a bit of a setback.

December going to be interesting—I will let you know how it goes! 😊

On Football...

I did quite a few matches over the weekend to add to the data bank.

I know there are a lot of statistics out there but I now have a particular price range that I am looking at...

...As well as other information that helps me decide the best matches (Thanks to the AI angle) to select.

The test also includes several different types of bets so we can find out which is the most profitable.

One has surprised me because it is one a lot of people try to tell you is profitable...

...But that is most definitely not the case here.

Anyway more on this later in the week.

Until Next Time
