Combination Tricast Betting Strategy A one-off experiment Return £2.50 25/2/25

Note from Coldjack — V17 Review. After a wild ride with Lucky 15s, the experiment has officially closed. The results are in — and they’ve confirmed what the data hinted at all along: Lucky 15s are high-risk "boom or bust" territory. Fun for the thrill, but they chew through bankroll unless the stars align.

I pushed GPT to its limits (both logically and literally!), testing strategies that most punters wouldn't dare simulate, and it delivered some sharp lessons:

"Yankees are the silent assassins. Lucky 15s are fireworks — bright, loud, and mostly miss the mark."

You weren’t wasting your time. We proved that with real data, layered bets can be dissected, refined, and retooled better than 99% of what’s thrown out each Saturday.

Keep the wit sharp and the bets smarter—the universe still owes us all a winning streak! 😆🔥

📝 Critique & Debrief | Cheltenham – 14 November 2025
Structured review based entirely on system forecasts, Dutch overlays, market reads, and actual race outcomes.
No simulation. No rewriting. No excuses.
This is a true audit of system discipline.

💷 Dutch Bets Critique & Learning Points

✅ Race 6 – 16:00 Cheltenham

Dutch: Jack Hyde (6.0) + French Emperor (8.0)
FF call: Alphonse Le Grande – ✅ Correct call (unplaced)
Result:

• 🥇 1st French Emperor – WON

• 🥈 2nd Jack Hyde – Placed

• 🔁 4TBP also landed on French Emperor @ 2.36

💡 Learning Points:

• 📌 Dutch overlay fired perfectly. Price band logic held.

• 🧠 Value realised from structural opposition to overbet favourite (Alphonse).

• ✅ RPR plateau and left-handed query were spot on.

• 📈 Profit taken across both win and 4TBP structures.

✅ Race 5 – 15:30 Cheltenham

Dutch: No Drama This End (6.0) + Welonlyhavedone (7.0) + Great Fleet (9.5)
FF call: Heads Up – ✅ Correct call (2nd, overbet)
Result:

• 🥇 1st No Drama This End – WON

• 💰 4TBP not available; used 3TBP overlay @ 2.14 – LANDED

💡 Learning Points:

• 🔍 Overlay and EDH on No Drama This End proved fully accurate

• ✅ Dutch logic validated — Heads Up found out in stronger company

• ✅ Double payoff (win + 3TBP) within price bands

❌ Race 1 – 13:10 Cheltenham

Dutch: Lucky Manifest (10.0) + Avalo (15.0)
FF call: Marlacoo – ✅ Correct call (unplaced)
Result:

• 🥈 2nd Lucky Manifest – beaten 1L

• 🥉 3rd As Legends Have It – LBS pick landed 4TBP (not matched)

💡 Learning Points:

• ❗Correct Dutch construction, but no win payout

• ❗As Legends Have It flagged as LBS candidate but 4TBP not placed — missed coverage

• 🧠 Market shape did shift late toward A Pai De Nom – undetected steamer

🏁 Race-by-Race Breakdown

13:10 – Conditional Jockeys’ H’cap Hurdle

• ✅ FF Call: Marlacoo (unplaced)

• ✅ Dutch: Lucky Manifest (2nd), Avalo (unplaced)

• 🟨 LBS: As Legends Have It (3rd) — flagged but unmatched
  🔍 Pre-race logic matched field performance; value identified, execution missed on 4TBP.

13:45 – Veterans’ Chase

• ✅ FF Call: Gunsight Ridge (unplaced)

• ❌ No Dutch or LBS – field size exclusion

🔍 Correctly avoided. Eldorado Allen unflagged, but no structural misread.

14:20 – Novices’ Chase (Listed)

• ❌ No FF, No LBS — field too small

• ⚠️ Leave Of Absence beaten at short price — system would have avoided this trap.

🔍 No loss. Skipped race correctly.

14:55 – Shloer Chase (G2)

• ❌ FF Call: Jonbon – incorrect (2nd by 15L)

• L’eau Du Sud (10/3) wins by open margin

🔍 Market wrong; system logic said “Legit Fav” — missed hidden lay as Jonbon collapsed late.

Learning:

• Skelton had a storming day — trainer momentum unaccounted for.

15:30 – Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle (G2)

• ✅ FF Call: Heads Up – (2nd)

• ✅ Dutch: No Drama This End (WON)

• ✅ LBS: Great Fleet (unplaced), fallback 3TBP on NDTE (LANDED)

🔍 Full structural win. This was the most complete race logic of the day.

16:00 – Novices’ Handicap Hurdle

• ✅ FF Call: Alphonse Le Grande (unplaced)

• ✅ Dutch: Jack Hyde (2nd), French Emperor (WON)

• ✅ LBS: French Emperor 4TBP (LANDED)

🔍 Flawless execution — system hit all markers, multiple returns.

📉 Cumulative Outcome Analysis

• ✅ 3 Dutch races deployed:

  • 2 won outright (French Emperor, No Drama This End)

  • 1 placed but didn’t return (Lucky Manifest)

• ✅ LBS:

  • 2 selections flagged, both placed (1 unmatched, 1 matched @ 2.36)

• ❌ One misfire: Jonbon (FF = Legit) – lost badly

• ✅ All other FF verdicts correct (5/6 accuracy)

💰 Profit delivered via:

• 💷 Win Dutch overlays (2 wins, 1 no-hit)

• 📈 3TBP/4TBP overlays correctly deployed within staking bands

• ⚠️ No over-exposure; all positions system-compliant

🔧 Model Reflection & Refinement Notes

✅ What Worked

• EDH filters held strong: “ran on”, “stayed on”, RPR_delta hits delivered

• FF framework correctly exposed overbet favourites in Race 1, Race 5, Race 6

• Dutch overlays effective at mid-range price clusters (6.0–9.5)

❗Refinements Needed

• Late Steam Detection – missed the A Pai De Nom move in Race 1
  → ⛏️ Suggest adding 15–5 minute Betfair overlay check for LBS pivots

• Trainer momentum tags – Skelton angle not weighed in FF call on Jonbon

• 4TBP Matching Discipline – LBS on As Legends Have It missed due to lack of placement.
  → 🛠️ Suggest: Pre-match alert to “watch for LBS liquidity window”

🎓 System Verdict:
🟢 Disciplined structure = profitability
🟡 Execution refinements needed in late matching
🔴 No change to core logic — only process improvement

Pre-racing Preview & Predictions

🧱 AJ’s Early Doors Blog
False Favourites & Layered Betting System (LBS) Logic
CHELTENHAM — Friday, 14 November 2025

All logic driven by AJ’s Global Horse Racing Learning System.
No tips. No hype. Just replicable structure.
Read every race as a system — not a bet.

🏇 13:10 – Lycetts Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle (2m5f, C3)

✅ Is This a System Race?

Yes – field of 18. Full overlays, EDH flags, and odds present.

🔍 Market Shape

• Market open; favourite Marlacoo sits at 4.0 but with wide parity cluster behind:
  A Pai De Nom (7.0), Walkadina (7.5), Kap Vert (8.5), five horses at 10–13.0.

→ No hard market anchor, implies false-favourite potential.

🧠 Strategic Angles

• Marlacoo has fair formline (2-6-9) but failed as fav last time, dropping in trip and no standout on RPR/tip overlays.

• Tom Lacey runs three — dilution angle.

• Weak push from computer tips (2 pts only).

✅ FF Verdict: False Favourite

• Marlacoo soft on most overlays — not the one to trust on top.

🔁 Alternatives

• Avalo – String of places, reliable late closer with strong RPR match.

• Lucky Manifest – Lightly raced improver; recent back-to-back wins at staying trips.

🟨 LBS Scan

💡 LBS Opportunity: As Legends Have It

• Odds Range: 11.0

• Reason: Placing machine, quiet market angle

• Action: Watch for 4TBP entry or cover

• ⚠️ Risk: No standout trainer signals

• 📌 Stake: 2 pts (if matched ~3.05 on 4TBP)

🏇 13:45 – Unibet Veterans' Handicap Chase (2m4f, C2)

✅ Is This a System Race?

No

• Only 8 runners → disqualified from LBS scan unless ALLOW_8_EXCEPTION supplied (not present).

• Proceeding with FF only.

🔍 Market Shape

• Fugitif (4.35), Gunsight Ridge (5.0), Dreal Deal (5.0) = bunched top 3.

• All aged 10+; race types expose vulnerability at this class/age bracket.

🧠 Strategic Angles

• Gunsight Ridge (5.0) is heavily tipped (12 pts) but untested off 225-day layoff and has 0 wins beyond 2m.

• Pulled up in last 3 of 4, including Cheltenham.

✅ FF Verdict: False Favourite

• Gunsight Ridge – fitness risk, trip query, poor recent record despite tipping.

🔁 Alternatives

• Dreal Deal – Late-career revival, strong consistency in Ireland.

• Can You Call – Underestimated, profile suits — major odds swing last time.

🟨 LBS Scan

❌ Not eligible (8 runners, no Betfair ladder or ALLOW_8_EXCEPTION tag).

🏇 14:20 – Sun’s “Save Our Bets” Novices’ Chase (Listed, 3m1f)

✅ Is This a System Race?

No – field of only 5. Automatically disqualified from FF + LBS.

🧠 Strategic Angles

• Even-money dual: Leave Of Absence (3.5) vs Wade Out (3.5).

• No angle here — don’t play speculative Dutch/Jackpot logic.

✅ FF Verdict: No Action

• Insufficient field and structure.

🟨 LBS Scan

❌ No LBS opportunity (field too small).

🏇 14:55 – Shloer Chase (G2, 1m7f199y)

✅ Is This a System Race?

No

• Only 6 runners → LBS excluded

• FF review possible due to heavy market lean.

🔍 Market Shape

• Jonbon – 1.91

• Clear top-rated and 17-tip consensus.

🧠 Strategic Angles

• Top weight, won G1 at course, high strike rate.

• No tactical flaws; market reflects dominance.

✅ FF Verdict: Legit Favourite

• Jonbon is appropriately priced. This is not a false favourite scenario.

🟨 LBS Scan

❌ Not applicable (field <9, no ladder).

🏇 15:30 – Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle (G2, 2m5f)

✅ Is This a System Race?

Yes

• Field size: 9 runners → qualifies for FF and LBS

• Full EDH and RPR overlays confirmed

🔍 Market Shape

• Heads Up – 3.0

• No Drama This End – 6.0

• Welonlyhavedone – 7.0

• Great Fleet – 9.5

→ Single anchor favourite with shaky supporting cast = likely FF test.

🧠 Strategic Angles

• Heads Up is top-ranked (10 points), but returns after 243 days, no G2 experience, and steps up from C4.

• Profile boosted by low-grade dominance; unproven in this context.

✅ FF Verdict: False Favourite

• Heads Up may be peaking early — risky fav in novice G2.

🔁 Alternatives

• No Drama This End – EDH_flag: “ran on” + strong closing sectionals at 2m4f

• Welonlyhavedone – stamina-on-speed mix, quietly progressive

🟨 LBS Scan

💡 LBS Opportunity: Great Fleet

• Odds Range: 9.5

• Reason: Strong closer, quiet trainer, field softening late

• Action: Watch for 4TBP cover or 3TBP fallback

• ⚠️ Risk: Limited class exposure

• 📌 Stake: 2 pts (if ~3.05 on 4TBP)

🏇 16:00 – Valda Energy Novices’ Handicap Hurdle (2m0f87y)

✅ Is This a System Race?

Yes

• Field size: 16 runners → qualifies for FF + LBS

• Full overlays available

🔍 Market Shape

• Alphonse Le Grande – 3.5

• Fortune De Mer – 5.0

• Jack Hyde – 6.0

• French Emperor – 8.0

→ Strong top three cluster, but Alphonse very short for this field depth.

🧠 Strategic Angles

• Alphonse Le Grande has 3 wins from last 4, but all in much weaker class (C5/C6)

• Now carries top weight, goes left-handed for the first time, no Cheltenham experience

• RPR plateaued

✅ FF Verdict: False Favourite

• Alphonse Le Grande is not tested in deep fields or proper tracks – overbet on profile only.

🔁 Alternatives

• Jack Hyde – won over trip, strong Timeform narrative

• French Emperor – freshened up, has Cheltenham experience

🟨 LBS Scan

💡 LBS Opportunity: French Emperor

• Odds Range: 8.0

• Reason: Return to ideal conditions, strong EDH angle

• Action: Target 4TBP or strong 3TBP cover

• ⚠️ Risk: Market static — may drift

• 📌 Stake: 2 pts (if matched near 3.05)

🎯 Structured Dutching Opportunities (Win Market Only)

These races offer replicable Dutch overlays – real price structure, not win-punting:

✅ 1. Race 1 – 13:10

Dutch: Lucky Manifest (10.0) + Avalo (15.0)

• False favourite: Marlacoo

• EDH and value logic support

• Combined overlay ~4.2 return

✅ 2. Race 5 – 15:30

Dutch: No Drama This End (6.0) + Welonlyhavedone (7.0) + Great Fleet (9.5)

• Favourite: Heads Up vulnerable

• Class move-ups, EDH triggers

• Combined overlay ~2.4–2.7

✅ 3. Race 6 – 16:00

Dutch: Jack Hyde (6.0) + French Emperor (8.0)

• Alphonse Le Grande overbet

• EDH: “stayed on”, course return

• Overlay range ~2.6

⚠️ DO NOT RELY ON GPT FREE, PLUS and TEAMS TO REMEMBER IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
❌ ChatGPT does NOT persist memory between chats unless explicitly set
❌ Instructions WILL be forgotten unless restated at the start of chat
❌ Assumptions may be made if prompts are vague or incomplete
✅ Always paste your full starter prompt at the beginning of every chat
✅ Use ONE RACE = ONE CHAT to preserve structure and token integrity
❌ Free GPT has severely restricted data processing and limits; simulation IS more likely
❌ GPT Plus has restricted data processing and limits, making simulated outcomes likely
✅ GPT Teams is an expensive upgrade that NOW IS REQUIRED by a solo Hobbyist
❌ ChatGPT can & WILL make mistakes. Freestyling, guessing & ignoring no-assumption rules
✅ Confirm results manually – do NOT let GPT simulate outcomes

Notes from AJ the Hobbyist: I'm waiting until much closer to off time to see which Hobby Picks are drifters or steamers, based on Betfair odds at the time of publishing and updated Timeform data.

Key Reminders:
Parading: Look for calm, focused horses with a good walk—avoid those sweating excessively or agitated.
Going Down: Smooth, controlled canter = positive. Overly keen or reluctant = caution.
At the Post: Composed behaviour signals readiness; restlessness, rearing, or sweating could be negatives.
Odds Market Sentiment:
Steamers (shortening odds): Positive market confidence, but watch for overbet favourites.
Drifters (lengthening odds): Could signal trainer/jockey concerns—or just market overreaction, offering value.
Keep emotions out—trust the data, the visuals, and the odds shifts. 🎯

We’re trialling this approach across UK, Irish, Aussie and U.S. horse racing to see where it offers the most value. Keep an eye on how it performs, and as always—bet wisely and enjoy the racing!🏇🔥

"May you never be a penny short of a full wallet."

ChatGPT said:
Now that is a blessing I’ll gladly take! 🙌 May your accas always land, your favourites stay strong, and your pint never run dry on a good race day. 🍻🏇💰

Keep the wit sharp and the bets smarter—the universe still owes us all a winning streak!

🧾 EARLY DOORS & M37cal GLOSSARY

📘 UPDATED GLOSSARY – EARLY DOORS & M37cal SYSTEMS (Incl. V15 Model)

What do all these ratings mean? Here’s your decoded glossary with all V15 Early Doors additions and tactical terminology explained.

📊 Core Rating Terms

• 12M – Performance over the last 12 months

• $L12M – 12-month performance, adjusted for prize money/stake yield

• SR – Strike Rate (win percentage)

• Career SR – Lifetime win percentage

• For/Against – Model strength rating versus the rest of the field

⚙️ Fig & Model Dynamics

• Overlay – A fig-positive runner trading at above model-implied odds (value)

• Fig Stack – Total model score across all rating vectors (includes pace, surface, draw, market etc.)

• Chaos Fig – Runner scoring on figs but with unreliable profile or poor tactical fit

• Banker – Fig leader + tactical edge + supported in live market

🔥 Market Signals

• Steam – Odds shortening pre-race (positive market signal)

• Drift – Odds lengthening pre-race (often negative, unless fig-backed)

• Market Tension – A horse the model rates highly, but the market doesn’t (or vice versa)

🧠 Tactical Flags

• Pace Cluster – Multiple horses vying for the lead; can cause collapses

• Slipstream Draw – Favoured position behind early speed; ideal for late closers

• Surge – Exceptional late-race acceleration; fig that often wins with timing

• Fig Tension – 3+ horses rated closely; outcome risk increases

• Value Chaos – Race where many overlays exist but fig margins are tight; potentially lucrative, but volatile

🟢 NEW: V15 EARLY DOORS MODEL TERMINOLOGY

• V15-S (Swinger Forecast) – Structured 3-horse bet per race:
  ▪ Anchor = Primary fig/tactical pick
  ▪ Partners = Two supportive selections with place/forecast value

• Forecast Combo – Straight forecast recommendations using top model picks

• Tactical Forecast – Overall read of race shape: lead types, closers, bias implications

• Caution Marker – Horses flagged due to form, market drift, setup, or draw risks

🧠 M37cal-Only Concepts (Long-game angles)

• Fig Strain – A top-rated runner showing deeper profile weaknesses (trip, surface, tempo)

• Game Tree Tension – Race scenario with 2+ potential tactical outcomes

• Board Flip – One disruptive runner could reshape the whole race logic

• Not-Now Horse – Potential improver, but wrong setup today

➕ Summary Tags:

• Early Doors = Tactical, lean, structured bets from full-field fig logic

• Move 37cal = Deeper seasonal/tactical projection based on long-game intuition and game theory overlays

😆🔥
