I got the races right, but not the results.
I had been checking through SL archives to find out which horses to back and had taken SP, rather than BSP Keith shows.

Jacqueline
I have gone through Keith’s spreadsheet for 22/3/16 and my results show as follows:
Exeter 2.30 -2 pts
Exeter 3.05 +3.5 pts
Southwell 4.00 -1 pt
Exeter 4.10 -1pt
Wetherby 4.20 +2.33 pts
Exeter 4.40 -1pt
Wetherby 4.55 +8.5 pts
Giving day profit of 9.33 pts

Hope you will agree when you have the time to look

Jacqueline,
Do you take day off if no ratings available?

[Ian Bass]

Thanks, Keith
Impressive work and I am sure will prove very useful when considering ways to use ratings. At the moment, I do not back them at odds-on.
This work of yours will tell me whether that is a good method.
Will let you know

Again, many thanks

[Ian Bass]

Oh, dear, suggested remedies sound awful to a tea and coffee addict!
Was ordered not to drink either after noon – so getting up earlier to get in an extra one!
Tomato juice I might manage – I know it goes well with vodka!
Cranberry juice and green tea might be worth considering, too
Thanks for your concern, everyone

[Ian Bass]

Many thanks for all of your good wishes re yesterday.
Your thoughts certainly seem to have worked the oracle!
Although tests proved an exceptionally high blood psa level and examinations showed a very large increase in the size of the prostate gland there were no signs that it had become cancerous, which is what had been feared.
Additional medication to shrink prostate and to address psa problem have been give 6 months to sort things out, with a further test at halfway (early December).

Went out to celebrate last evening, hence this message delayed until this morning.
Did manage to get my bets on Atletico Madrid, though (unfortunately). What a changed side they seem to be this season!

And what a wonderful bunch of guys and gals you all are!

[Ian Bass]

Thanks, Bailey

Don,
Ich verstehe nicht!
Cool Bahamian was in Jacqueline’s system of Ratings handicap selections.
I call it my Jaymac Selective system and my bank has increased by 41% in just 3 days.
Way to go!!

I shall probably miss most of today as I have been recalled to hospital for further tests.
Doesn’t look good, I’m afraid

[Ian Bass]

Real cool Bahamian!!

[Ian Bass]

It is as I thought.
I have just checked Bet365 ‘help’ section under ‘sports’ and ‘ how does Asian handicap work’ It shows an example of a -2 scenario. With Asian handicap and if the gap is exactly 2 goals the bet is void.
With ordinary handicaps, the bet would be lost.
Let’s hope Bayern run riot!!!

[Ian Bass]

I can’t tell you the answer, Elisabeth
I could get no satisfaction from Bet365, as I said I am hoping one of our many experts on here will have an answer
I thought perhaps that, if Bayern win exactly by 2′ you may get money back on Asian.
But I really don’t know

[Ian Bass]

Anyone know the difference between Bet365 Handicaps Offers??
Bayern -2 Asian Handicap is priced @ 1.375, but on Alternative Handicap section Bayern -2 is priced @1.61.
I have spoken to chat advisor and the only thing she can come up with is that with Asian the score reverts to 0-0 ay the time you place your bet whereas with Alternative the score if placing in-play stays as it actually is.
Confusing, or what?
I have placed a bet on each handicap with lesser stake on Alternative

[Ian Bass]

thanks, Jacqueline
Didn’t even know ss thread existed!

[Ian Bass]

Jacqueline
Just a couple of points, please, if you would
Do you back NH as well as flat?
Do you only back @ over 4.0?

I think that’s all for now.

I just forgot the Group 4 rule and backed 2 losers!!

Silly Old !!!!

[Ian Bass]

You and me both, Jacqueline!!
I am closing in (very slowly, these days) on my 80th birthday and cannot attempt to count the hundreds (nay, thousands) of pounds I have spent (squandered) on systems and plans for backing and laying winners and losers.
I have currently around a dozen in various stages of ‘proofing’. I have just dropped 2 this morning so it is a bit easier to handle. I normally allow each method about a month to prove itself. And I have just added yours as it seems to be based on sensible reasoning.
