The In Running Trading Tool

When you are trading horses in running, knowing which ones will or will not trade at a lower price, is the absolute key to your success.

Our in-running trading tool takes all of the past in running stats and running styles for every horse running in the UK and Ireland. It then calculates price and tick drops, displaying them in a useable format, highlighting the very best opportunities to increase your chance of making a profit.

Success In Running:

Whether you are a back to lay trader, backing horses and laying them off as their price shortens, or placing the opposite trades for smaller profits but on a large number of races each day, you need to know just how a horse is likely to run.

Just guessing or having a rough idea, won’t cut it when trading in running. Unlike backing horses to win, one or two small mistakes will clear out any profits you may have steadily built up over a number of weeks, in a matter of minutes.

Whilst it is globally accepted that betting with a disciplined mindset is the number one key to success, having the best information at hand must come a very close second.

If you have this information in a simple to use and clearly outlined format, then you increase your chance of seeing ‘green’ numbers all over your screen.

The Main Benefits: Running Styles

How a horse runs, will identify whether a horse will be a good or bad trading opportunity.

You could research each horse and investigate the in running comments. However, for every horse and every race, this would take you far more time than you actually have and would, in all honesty, be unreasonable.

The in running trading tool, however, takes those in running comments for every run and turns them into a simple to understand figure. This allows you to see just how a horse has run before.

A number 1, means a horse led at the start of the race and a 2 means it ran just behind the leaders or was prominent. These two running styles will be what you will be looking for if you are placing back to lay trade on a front runner, as their prices are likely to drop during the first part of the race.

After this you have the numbers 3 and 4, which highlight horses that ran in midfield (3) and those that were held up at the back or started slowly (4). These will be horses to look for if you want to lay a slow starter, as their price is likely to increase during the first part of the race.

Not only does every horse have a run style figure for each race it has run, but you also have an average run style figure for each horse. You can see at a glance, just how each horse in a race is likely to run and then compare these with each other to get a complete picture of the pace of the race itself.

Tick Drops

Ticks are different price increments used on Betfair charts or ladders. Knowing if a horse is going to drop a few or none at all, will increase your confidence in your selections.

These days people are using an offset number of ticks or setting their betting bots to either back to lay or lay to back a certain number of ticks. The greater the number of ticks that can be traded, the more profit will be made.

If you know that a horse has dropped in price by at least 50 ticks in all of it’s last ten races, there’s additional confidence it will happen again. Potentially turning a profit.

Not only are the number of ticks dropped shown for every run, but there is also an average tick drop for each horse so again you can compare each runner in a race and then combine the tick drops with the run style figures, to make an informed decision.

All of this can be done just by looking at the main race card, even before the possible need to delve into the full form guide a little further, which you can of course do for each runner on the day.

Having this information at hand in a simple to view format saves hours of form research and highlights opportunity quickly.
