Not being a doubter, just wondering.

Hey it’s all in good fun and good spirit. After all when it comes right down to it, it’s only a game.
My previous comment may have been misleading.
I should have said that only Exacta pools are available in the States and Quinella pools in HK. There is no Exacta betting in HK. The really nice thing about playing HK here in the States is that all of the available betting pools (Win, Place 2nd, Place 3rd, Quinella, and Triple) are co-mingled. However, the vast majority of money being bet is HK money!
That’s one of the reasons why I generally shy away from playing races in Australia and Japan. The only betting pools showing the actual money available to us are those generated by players in the States. It’s doubtful that those pools would offer any Insider tendencies.

These are first {3) races from the last day at HK:
HONG KONG/Happy Valley-WED 10/12
http://www.paceadvantage.com/forum/s...d.php?t=133952
R#1 - 1-6 W/ 7-5-4-3.............. Results: 1 -6-5-12 (Top choice – Quin/Tri)
Dutch – 1 ( 2.3/1 ) – 6 ( 7.2/1 ) – 7 ( 14/1 ) - $100.00 – $100.00
#1 – 1/2.3+1 = 0.30……..#6 – 1/7.2+1 = 0.12………..#7 – 1/14+1 = 0.07
R#2 - 3-1 W/ 5-6-8-2................... Results: 5 -6-4-7 (3rd choice)
Dutch – 3 ( 10/1 ) – 1 ( 7.2/1 ) – 5 ( 2.9/1 ) - $96.00 – $196.00
#3 – 1/10+1= 0.09…….#1 = 1/7.2+1 = 0.12……….#5 – 1/2.9+1 = 0.29
R#3 - 2-5 W/ 4-6-8....... Results: 2-5-7-6 (Top choice – Quin)
Dutch – 2 ( 2.8/1 ) –5 ( 5.6/1 ) –4 ( 4.9/1 ) - $64.00 – $260.00
#2 – 1/2.8+1 = 0.26……#5 – 1/5.6+1 = 0.18……..#4 – 1/4.9+1 = 0.17
Maybe you could explain why you feel these “booking % “ numbers are important?
As far as I’m concerned I’m up $260 after 3 races.

after working it out, I don't see any difference if Dutch bet size is based on different common book sizes.
I just always worth to a 100% book wherever possible

nice winners again this morning including the $25 horse in the 7th. i can see why you stay up for Hong Kong every time they run. when they go dark it must give you anxiety attacks waiting out the hiatus.

I don’t mind staying up when I can reap the rewards of some great racing and the incredible potential value that's obviously offered in every race.
Actually I find the break between the meets to be very refreshing. But I really do look forward to when the racing starts each time. To be honest, when I started playing HK it felt like my whole game became rejuvenated. As far as I’m concerned there's nothing in the States even comes close on any level.

With those kinds of results, I'd reset my sleep patterns to keep my mind sharper.

Thank you. I've been following your threads, but I missed the excel file at the bottom.

I've got a regular routine that seems to work pretty good. Not having to post Live selections allows me to have more time for making bets properly and avoiding costly errors. I really think the adrenaline keeps me going in the wee hours of the morning.

8-Day Dutch Betting Summary
Update:
The chart below covers the last 8 race days in HK and 74 races. It shows the following:
1) Overall hit frequency of 57 %
2) Basic Dutching of EVERY race totaled $5,662 Bet w/a Net Profit of $2,386 and Profit margin of 42%.
3) The number of consecutive hits = (5) and the number of consecutive misses – (4)
4) With known hit frequency of 57% avoid races w/ Profit margin of less then 50% (only 1 of 74 so far).
5) Considering the 57% hit frequency, a greater Profit margin can certainly be realized by:
……a) Avoid playing later races after hitting enough early races to reach 50% of the races carded.
……b) Avoid playing later races after reaching a desired monetary goal.
........In other words its NOT necessary to play every race!
Keep in mind that all these results are based on Dutching these 3 selections with the final odds.

Nitro, Maybe you answered this before. Do you ever pass betting your top three if odds on your top three are low and 1st three favorites? I know the top three fav's historically used to win 67% of all races. Some on here have studied that and said recently it might approach 70% at many tracks. I've read that Saratoga it's lower. For example:
Pick 1 : 6/5 : 45.5% - $42 bet- $92.4 return if wins
Pick 2: 8/5 : 38.5% - $35 bet- $91.0 return if wins
Pick 3: 3/1 : 25% - $23 bet- $92.0 return if wins
Total top three = 109% - $100 total bets. It appears when the top three bets are dutched and total combined odds pct. is over 100%, it's impossible to make this profitable. What am I doing wrong?
Alt. scenario:
Pick 1: 8/5 : 38.5% - $47 bet - $122.00 return if wins
Pick 2: 5/2 : 28.6% - $35 bet - $122.50 return if wins
Pick 3: 6/1 : 14.1% - $17 bet - $119.00 return if wins
Tot. top 3 : 81.2% - $99 total bet-$121.00 average return if wins. With three dutching bets in this range, you would have to win 82% of your bets to break even.
Can you tell what your total threshold for dutching the top 3 is cut off?

I will absolutely pass any race where the combination of odds on say 3 selections produce a very low Profit Margin %. The average 67% hit frequency for the top 3 betting selections is pretty much agreed on. However, this also refers to those 3 entries with the lowest odds at post time. We generally see an average of only 7 or 8 entries in a race. So it’s not uncommon to see odds like 8/5, 5/2, 4/1 (or lower)
Using those 3 as an example this is what the Dutch chart looks like:
Code:
LOW MID HI TOT TOT PRF %
1.6 2.5 4.0 BET PRF
$5 $7 $10
$10 $7 $5 $23 $3 15%
$26 $26 $26
With that type of Profit Margin % (only 15%) you’d have to have a hit frequency of better then 85% in order to remain profitable!
Using the suggested Alternate scenario:
Code:
LOW MID HI TOT TOT PRF %
1.6 2.5 6.0 BET PRF
$5 $7 $14
$14 $10 $5 $30 $7 23%
$36 $36 $36
With that type of Profit Margin % (only 23%) you’d have to have a hit frequency of better then 77% in order to remain profitable!
As I mentioned (above) because my hit frequency right now at HK is 57% I would not play any races that had a known Profit Margin of 50% or less. So far out of the 74 races posted there has been only 1 race that came in with a 45% Profit Margin.

10 Day HK Dutching Summary
Update:
The chart below covers the last 10 race days in HK and ALL 92 races.
It reveals the following about the Top 3 pre-race selections:
1) Overall hit frequency of 52 %
2) Basic Dutching of EVERY race totaled $6,809 Bet w/a Net Profit of $2,371 and Profit margin of 35%.
3) The number of consecutive hits = (5) and the number of consecutive misses – (4)
4) With known hit frequency of 52% avoid races w/ Profit margin of less then 50% (only 1 of 82 so far).
5) Considering the 52% hit frequency, a greater Profit margin can certainly be realized by:
……a) Avoid playing later races after hitting enough early races to reach 50% of the races carded.

1) Overall hit frequency of 52 %
2) Basic Dutching of EVERY race totaled $6,809 Bet w/a Net Profit of $2,371 and Profit margin of 35%.
3) The number of consecutive hits = (5) and the number of consecutive misses – (4)
4) With known hit frequency of 52% avoid races w/ Profit margin of less then 50% (only 1 of 82 so far).
5) Considering the 52% hit frequency, a greater Profit margin can certainly be realized by:
……a) Avoid playing later races after hitting enough early races to reach 50% of the races carded.
……b) Avoid playing later races after reaching a desired monetary goal.
................ In other words its NOT necessary to play every race!
Keep in mind that all these results are based on Dutching these 3 early selections with the final odds.

DUTCH, DOUBLE DUTCH OR NO DOUCH, that is a very strong record using 3 horses in 14 horse fields in a place like Hong Kong. my guess is that those races have approximately 7 1/2 win factors on average every race.
i gave the racing there a decent effort 2 years ago and found my main problem was having no clue where the horses were going to be positioned during the race. unlike north american races, cover is huge there. a very small percentage of the races were being won on the pace from what i saw.

Yes, Dutching with the 3 early picks has been very productive. However, the Dutching I do based on the Live tote is even better in terms of the hit frequency because I can easily spot when some of the other selections are getting good action while some of the original Keys are not.
I’m not sure what’s meant by the “7 ½ win factors on average in each race”.
For those players like yourself who are interested in the potential running positions, believe it or not the HKJC Form Guide also offers a Speed Map link that indicates the apparent running styles and anticipated positions of each entry in a race. I’ve also watched many of the races in HK over the last 3 ½ years. I’ve found that depending on the turf conditions and the distances involved that the winner can come from any just about any part of the race. I particularly enjoy watching those 5F (1000M) sprints at Sha Tin where they run in a straight line (much the same as the ¼-horse racing does).
