Sample picks test results

5443 overlays 22% winners 7% flat bet profit 7% dutch profit ave odds, 5.19-1
3785 underlays 36% winners -14% flat bet loss -13% dutch loss ave odds, 1.64-1

Outside of sample pick results (year to date)

169 overlays 22% winners -4% flat bet loss -4% dutch loss ave odds, 4.96-1
124 underlays 24% winners’ -56% flat bet loss -42% ducth loss ave odds, 1.64-1

The overlays clearly out perform the underlays.
The expectation is that the year to date results will approximate the sample test results

formula,

Interesting, but I think you would do better if you tightened up your definition of an overlay to include no more than 50% of all races. Just my opinion based on my experience.

Rick, at this time I dont want to be too selective. Not enought data for that, yet...

I can cut the selection down by 60% and up the profit by 300%,
but that would cut the sample size down.

Need to double the data base size to 250,000 horses.

Time will tell.

formula,

Well, nobody can say that your sample size isn't large enough. Have you checked those that don't have the top last race speed? They may show a profit on their own.
