They're dead I'm afraid my friend...

They might be the most unlikeliest of things to have ever happened but im sure there is still a supplement stage, right?

Yeah correct, all G1s have a supplement stage, but the fact they were both originally entered, then removed, suggest paying for entry at the supplement stage is incredibly unlikely....

Can someone educate me please, I've got a number of Ante Post Accumulators where one horse is not declared at this stage. Examples are A DREAM TO SHARE and MISTER POLICEMAN. Is there still time for them to be entered ? Or shall I just ask B365 to write them off as losers and remove them from my list of bets. Guidance much appreciated.

Good luck getting them to remove them for you, I have the same argument with them every year about that.

Fed up of looking at my accumulators with one 2nd place costing me a few hundred quid

[BuckingThe Trend]

Thanks for responding each. So net net it is very unlikely for the reasons quoted above but it is still possible if they suddenly grow wings and start flying at home. So I have mentally written them off but will not ask B365 to remove them as losing bets just yet. Cheers.

They have removed a number of my AP bets at my request via Twitter direct mail. You just have to ask them to remove them as losers and not void. They are happy to write them off if you are.

I've tried with failed roll up attempts, they're utterly useless when trying to ask them to be removed so you just need to put up with it sadly

Why the fuck cant 365 just fuck them off a losing bet simples?

[Frankely My Dear]

I I magine it's a pain in the arse for them if the horse returns from the dead and the customer wants to rejuvenate the bet. Doubt it happens often though

Hi all, this is a very farfetched question but I figured this is the best place to ask it after all.

Next year I am going to be entering the final year of my computer science degree and with that I get to do my own project with a supervisor and I got accepted by one to do one using AI to predict outcomes of horse races and hence finding value in betting markets using AI. The only problem is that from searching around there doesn't seem to be a whole load of data out there for results of previous races and the best I found was the racing post but would need to get the data manually to train the potential AI and that doesn't seem very time efficient. Cheers!

Yeah I think I've got a decade worth of data, maybe a bit more but haven't updated it for at least a year. One of the models I did indicated both il etait temps and landrake could be novice chasers to follow this year... One of those seems to have worked out better than the other, even though I haven't backed either! Send me a DM if you want the data and I'll try find it on my other laptop this weekend.

In terms of the model itself, I'm sure you're aware of this already but remember AI only understands the context you provide it. If you just give it form, it will analyse all form equally which probably isn't appropriate. If you don't give it sire/dam/damsire data it won't consider any of that, draw bias, pace bias, historical horse running style etc. You may still be successful without all that, but if you can put all that together, that's when you're really having fun...
