LD's Betting Diary - Chapter 3

A new chapter, yay! Okay, so whats changed in the system? The staking plan is different for one, I will place bet 5 betting units and win bet 1 unit on my selections. The Interbet minimum bet is R20, so to test the system I will place bet R100 and win bet R20 on the systems selections. So it is now heavily weighted in favour of a place betting system. I will try and get the best price in these markets between the tote and Interbet. Another change is that the system selections do not necessarily have to be the favourite in the race, there will now be a maximum starting price as per the tabgold odds page. I will try and make 20 bets before tweaking the system again. So far I'm only down about R140 on my two previous efforts. Hopefully things go better this time around.

For today's Durbanville meeting, the system likes CASTLE in race 7, should the starting price on the tabgold website be 3-1 or less... Hopefully the system gets off to a good start...

21 mins to off, it's drifted in the betting to 33/10, higher than the maximum 3/1. So the bet is off at the moment.

10 mins to the off and the drift has continued to 4/1... I was hoping for a late betting coup.

Lol, what a start, it wins without my money on it. At least the system picked the right one. Oh well. I'll have to wait for next time.

I should have Mr H, but hindsight is 20-20. It's actually weird watching a race like that. I'm not sure if I want it to win, because then I could say the system was clever to keep me out, but if it wins, it's like, "oh man I should have!"

Today the system likes UP IN LIGHTS in race 3 at Durbanville should the starting price be 33/10 or less on the tabgold website odds section. It's currently 7/2 because there is a very expensive first timer that is the hot favourite. It should be an interesting race to watch. Over R7500 already bet on the first time on Interbet at this time.

18 mins to the off and not much has changed except even more money has been piled on the first timer hot favourite, now R14173.

4 mins to off and UP IN LIGHTS is 7/2 on tabgold and effectively 6/1on Interbet. Does anyone take tabgold odds I wonder...

ROYAL FOUNDATION - 2nd
BLUE MARTINI - 3rd

So the money was spot on with the first timer. My systems maximum price filter rightly kept me out of this one as my would be bet was never in it.

The system likes SILVER CLASS today at the Vaal in the 7th race should it start at less than 3/1 on tabgold. It's a hot favourite right now and so it looks like we might have a bet today. I'll be watching it carefully. Already over R6000 has been bet on it on Interbet, so it's got some early support.

20 mins to go and my fancy is still the hot favourite. Now I'm just searching for the best market to place my bets...
