...for most of you, but this is a project I'm working on, which I'm happy to openly trial on here for now!

 

I'm looking for long term profitability, which will inevitably mean good days and bad!

It's definitely one step forward, one step back at the moment.

Win one day, lose the next.

 

I should rename this thread as Dougie's Selections.

I've been following this.

 

... but I've never put a bet on a race that wasn't the Grand National.

 

Now, if I'd put £1 on every horse in every race, how much would I be up?

 

(and what does BOG mean?)

OK, when you say "if I'd put £1 on every horse in every race, how much would I be up?" I assume you mean if you'd backed all the selections I've posted on this thread.

If that's the case and

If you'd got the prices I've taken/posted (lots of ifs in betting )

 

You'd have spent £223 on bets, but you'd have collected £243.21, before today's racing.

A small profit of £20.21, but that's just over 9% and I'm hoping to do better.

 

However, getting the right prices is the key and this is where BOG comes into play.

BOG = Best Odds Guaranteed

If I back a horse at 5/1 BOG and it wins at 3/1, I get paid at 5/1.

However if it wins at 7/1, I get paid at 7/1.

In other words, BOG price is the lowest you'll receive unless, of course, it loses!

 

99% of my betting is done either on the exchanges (Betfair/Betdaq etc) or via BOG Bookies (Bet365, Boylesports, Betfred, BetVictor, PaddyPower, StanJames, Ladbrokes, Coral or William Hill)

 

Hope that's a little clearer, otherwise speak to your older/uglier brother.

Crystal, thank you.

 

I may start dabbling with this, just as a bit of a hobby.
