I continue with my review of my WRWM strategies with a look at a couple that have not quite hit the heights of previous years.
I want to be transparent here: it isn’t all profit, profit, profit. But from a betting portfolio perspective we are well ahead of the game for 2016.
2 Horse Race Placers
This is a strategy I included for 2016 because it has consistently profited for every year since 2013. That’s strong enough evidence for me that this strategy was worthy of inclusion this year.
So, what’s the damage?
Well, Backing every selection in the place only market at odds of between 1.1 and 1.5 has produced a 2.5 point loss for the year.
Now let’s be honest. This is hardly a huge loss, is it? I’m personally delighted with this record given we were running at a 12 point loss earlier in the year.
Given this strategy is hopefully heading towards break even for 2016, I’ll open up the floor. Do you want me to continue with it for another year?
Here’s the profit graph.
As you can see a real dip this year and there has never really been a moment of profit. I’m very encouraged by the end of the year rally. It must be said the summer was terrible!
Lay the Big Fave
This is the one strategy which is unlikely to last into 2017.
Yes, there is a profit to be had, albeit if you’d focused on horses at odds of 6.00 or higher.
If Laying all selections this 2016 at odds of 6.00 or higher, you’d have made a 27 point profit. That’s the good news.
I have run this filter over results for 2015 which produced a 24 point profit. Therein may lie the filter that saves this strategy?
But this is analysis after the fact. My initial instructions with Laying the Big Fave was to Lay all selections at all odds which has resulted in a loss of 38 points. Ouch!
I am going to continue keeping selections ongoing, given that new filter.
So, these are the two of the poorest performers of 2016. Not all bad news, I think you’ll agree.
I’m quite excited now by the Laying the Big Fave selections if Laying only at odds of 6 or higher…
