Glossary of New Fields

New fields on horse form tab

We have added the in running lows and highs and percentages from the in running tab to the form tab too for continuity.

PRB - This is the percentage of rivals beaten (PRB) that this horse has beat in each run. Colour Coded, see chart.

PosVsSPRank – This set 1 if the finishing position was better than the horse’s SP (Industry) rank and -1 if it wasn’t.  This can be used as an indicator of a horse running better than the odds expect.  However PRB is introduced also and this is likely a better indicator of good form.

SP_Rank – This is the rank of the industry SP the horse went off at.

PowR – This is the rank of the power Rating (UR1)

 

New fields on in running tab

We added a few fields to the in running tab, which are jockey and trainer, powr rank, qual, actual going, odds decimal and headgear.

 

 

New fields on race cards and results screen

Filters

All these fields work with form book filtering, for instance if you filter a race to only show AW form then all the values for the fields below reflect this.

This makes the trading figures truly powerful because you can filter to conditions more like today using the quick filters and the more advanced filters.

The quick filters look like this above the race card

The advance filters are behind this button on the right

Welcome Screen New Fields

Added UR4 and Tissue Odds in decimal and power ratings odds (UR1 Odds) are also now decimal.

 

 

Power Ratings Downloads

We have moved to a new server for downloads, so we can secure the main site after Google changed some rules a few months back.

For you it is seamless this update takes care of it but you NEED to do the update because once we secure the site (soon) the old version will not download power ratings automatically.

 

 

Auto Non-Runner Removal Tool

Auto update welcome screen tick box added to non-runner removal tool

This is generally for those linking welcome screen selections to BF Bot Manager so that non runners trigger new bets and selections on the welcome screen are updated and then the BF Bot auto updates them.

When ticked in conjunction with auto non-runner removal it will update the welcome screen.

NOTE: if you have a lot of systems every time a non-runner is found you will get a lag or wait cursor while the welcome screen updates.

 

Quick Hide on Notifications Screen

This was for me really as I always click not on top and notifications off when I open Proform and got sick of three clicks

Race Results Screen in Data View

Info:

When viewing a race result in data view you can now see the In Running High and Low for each runner along with there respective percentage difference to Betfair SP.

These fields can be colour coded depending on the percentage differences.

You can also see the percentage difference from Industry SP to Betfair SP in the +/- column.

Note 

  • The Betfair SP on race results screen is in decimal format, i.e. includes the 1pt stake)

Here is a screen image of a race results screen, followed by an explanation of each field.

IR High

This is the In Running High that each horse reached. Blue Bounty while In Running reached a high of 400 on Betfair, which is 3527.27% higher (%DiffHIGH column) than his BSP of just 12.

The IR High is highlighted in red because it is higher by 100% or more than BSP.  This can be set in preferences where you can set the background and font colour of the IR High dependant on the percentage difference to BSP.

The IR High is displayed as a dash (-) when the horse lost and it's IR High was 1000. This can be turned on or off in Preferences.

%DiffHIGH

This is the percentage difference or increase from Betfair SP to the In Running High Price.  The IR High is displayed as a dash (-) when the horse lost and it's IR High was 1000. This can be turned on or off in Preferences.

IR Low

This is the In Running Low that each horse reached. We can see in this race that all 4 losing horses traded pretty low In Running.

The IR Low is highlighted in green because it is lower by 50% or less than BSP.  This can be set in preferences where you can set the background and font colour of the IR Low dependant on the percentage difference to BSP.

The IR Low is displayed as a dash (-) when the horse won and it's IR Low was 1.01. This can be turned on or off in Preferences.

%DiffLOW

This is the percentage difference or decrease from Betfair SP to the In Running Low Price.  The IR Low is displayed as a dash (-) when the horse won and it's IR Low was 1.01. This can be turned on or off in Preferences.

+/-

This is the percentage difference between Industry SP and Betfair SP and includes 5% commission on the Betfair SP Price.  You can see in this instance the BSP of the winner Rory Boy was -2.34% worse than taking Industry SP.

Trading Percentages added to Pattern Matcher

Info:

New Columns added to racecards

We have added trading percentages to the Pattern Matcher allowing you to determine the best trading angles.

50% Low SR - This is the strike rate of the amount of times the horse has traded 50% or lower in running than it’s Betfair SP (BSP). Great for spotting B2L’s, Dobb’s and Trobb’s. Colour Coded, see chart.
PRB - This is the average PRB of all starts, calculated for each race, so that the performance each race is weighted the same.

This new metric is more powerful than traditional strike rates. This is because strike rate uses wins which is very black and white i.e. a win counts as 1 but a loser regardless of finishing position, even if second counts as 0.


 

Colour Coding Rules

You can see four different colours on the image.

Red is >0% and <=25%

Amber is >25% and <=50%

Light Green is >50% and <=75%

Dark green and bold text is >75%

Why Use the Proform In Running Module

Info:

The in-running (IR) module is a significant addition to anyone who has an interest in how a race develops IR or wants to see how a horse trades during their performances.

We realise that IR betting is not for everyone but there are many misnomers about this form of betting and the images that it conjures up.

You don’t necessarily need to be the fastest finger or have the quickest pictures; some manual dexterity helps but we feel that having the data and prior knowledge of how a horse will trade is far more important. If you like what we have created here is an IR formbook.  

We of course need to make it clear at this point that like the official formbook it is not just a question of reading that and finding all the answers and horses don’t always run to form and repeat again and again, but you are more likely to have a far better chance of making your betting profitable if you have the information at your disposal.

One of the simplest tools available in the in-running module is the ability to see on how many occasions a horse has traded at a certain percentage lower than its Betfair SP (BSP).  This of course would give you a clue as to if a horse was worth considering as a back-to-lay vehicle.

Many punters now are happy to at least cover their initial investment by laying their stake IR at a shorter price than they backed it originally, thus essentially giving them a free bet. Of course there are extensions of this tactic and some punters will lay back more than their stakes at shorter prices on their original selection to give them a profit on all the runners in the race, producing what is known as a “green book”.

The point we are trying to make here is that within the Proform IR module you will have the capability to assess all of that information about a selection and see how many times it has traded as a particular percentage below BSP, what prices it has traded at, plus of course all the other factors that exist on the database.

You may for example want to just see the runs as a certain track or on a particular type of ground. As with the main Proform database all of those facilities will exist to really drill down into the data.

Already in the Proform database are pace ratings and descriptions of the running styles of horses, they are of particular interest if you want to see how a horse is likely to trade IR and any race analysis is going to improve for having that sort of knowledge.

If you like you are trying to create a mental picture of how a race will play out before it is run. These pace and running style descriptions are now augmented by the actual data of how a horse has traded during the race so you can see the ebbs and flows of the price during the race.

This will give you a good idea of how IR players have reacted to the run style of a horse; again it may well be that on examining a short-priced favourite and its IR history you can see that it has always traded at a bigger price IR due to a particular trait in its run style.

Many players would then be happy to back the horse in question IR and obtain a bigger price than pre-race, and as we all know there are many examples each day of horses trading at way above their BSP and still going on to win.

In summary, the Proform IR module will give you that information at your fingertips and can identify horses who do this on a regular basis and still go onto win.
