I've had a bit of luck over the last week with a new selection process, but the data isn't available to be able to backtest anything, so I am treating these as fun bets only.
Bath 2:15 Yafta
York 2:25 Dee Ex Bee
Kill 3:10 Dawn Hoofer
Kill 6:20 Abyssinian
Acca for fun

Re: Acca for fun
Two wins and two not placed.
I was hoping they'd all at least place; Dawn Hoofer was 4th, and Dee Ex Bee was a much-anticipated let down - it looked as though he was eased off quite early, so I assume something wasn't right with him.

Re: Acca for fun
Only two selections qualify today, and one is a bit of a short price for a decent acca, but I'll post it anyway:
FfosL 2:50 Move Over
FfosL 3:25 Casement
Both won, paid out a lowly +2.8 pts at 10:00 BOG prices.

Re: Acca for fun
Barbarian has drifted massively since I posted, and the next two contenders have both shortened. Last time this happened it didn't go well...
Update: No need to panic! Home safe and sound...
Update: In the 2:00 we were VERY lucky, I thought we weren't even going to place - still a win is a win!

Re: Acca for fun
We got 3 from 4 - not bad for what would have amounted to about a 100/1 return.
The bad thing from my point of view is that I had Peregrine Run (which won in the race that Rathvinden didn't) on my list, but as I don't like either/or bets (because they halve the returns), I dropped it as a choice. Perhaps I should have ignored that race altogether...?
Oh well.

Re: Acca for fun
Some nice prices for today's picks - you might want to make a treble or doubles instead of a single acca.
Curr 1:30 Port Lions
Bev 2:30 Alfa Mcguire
Bev 3:00 Rumshak
Good 4:30 Salateen

Re: Acca for fun
First race was a complete whitewash - went from 1st to 6th in one furlong.
Pretty poor day overall - one win, one place and two nowhere near.
From my initial list of nine choices there were only two winners anyway, so a big acca just wasn't going to happen.

Re: Acca for fun
A little later than normal, got a bit sidetracked this morning...
Three picks, but two of them are on heavy going so be cautious:
Ripon 2:10 Flo's Melody
Rosc 5:00 Raintree
Rosc 6:30 World Stage

Re: Acca for fun
We got off to a good start, then had a 3rd - I thought at the worst we should get a place multiple and get our win stake back plus a bit more, but it was not to be.
Again.
