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! 😆🔥
Yankee (x11) (now significantly stronger)
ROI: +38.37% Profit: +£107.64 3rd quarter

🔍 Market Shape
Co-favourites: Bragbor (3.0), Savvy Victory (3.25)
Nebras and Teumessias Fox joint 3rd favs (5.5)
No huge outliers or outsiders; compact top 5
No N/Rs — 7 runners total (LBS not eligible)
✅ Is This a System Race?
Yes — solid market formation with clear favourite(s), strong form lines, and valid computer splits
LBS not in play due to field size
🟥 False Favourite Check
Candidate: Bragbor (3.0)
Smart Stats: Stable switcher (G Scott ➝ R A Fahey), no class drop
Computer Tips: Top-rated (12 pts) with widespread model backing
Jockey: Jonny Peate (Cold Jockey – 49 rides without win)

Concerns:
Stable switch without a class drop

Strong rivals with proven class/figures
Verdict: ✅ False Favourite
Value Alternatives:
Nebras (5.5) — lightly raced, cheekpieces return, Gosden yard, solid comp tip support (7 pts)

Race 2 – 16:10 Newcastle (AW) | 7f Novice (2yo) [5 Run]
🔍 Market Shape
Fav: My Love Is King (1.73)

Candidate: My Love Is King (1.73)
Computer Tips: Well supported across models
Trainer: Not listed among hot or cold; little context
Concerns:
Nothing to oppose with: second fav not close enough on merit

Race 3 – 16:40 Newcastle (AW) | 7f Nursery Handicap (Class 5) [7 Run]
🔍 Market Shape

Concerns:
Stronger model support for others
Jockey (Jack Garritty) not among hot performers
Lack of compelling stats angle or headgear tweak

🟨 LBS Opportunity
❌ No LBS candidates – Field size 7
Race 4 – 17:10 Newcastle (AW) | 1m Nursery Handicap (Class 6) [7 Run]
🔍 Market Shape

Smart Stats:
Popty Ping: 1st-time cheekpieces

Trainer: Charlie Johnston — decent Newcastle record (36 wins/247 runs), but not Hot today
Concerns:
Poor computer rating for a favourite
Lack of headgear/form edge
Several rivals with stronger profiles and stats
Verdict: ✅ False Favourite
Value Alternatives:
Popty Ping (4.2) — Model top-rated (13 pts), wearing first-time headgear, well-supported
Parole Officer (10.0) — Stable switch (S Woods ➝ Ewan Whillans), model 2nd (11 pts), underestimated
🟨 LBS Opportunity
❌ No LBS candidates – Field size 7
Race 5 – 17:40 Newcastle (AW) | 6f Fillies’ Restricted Novice (Class 5) [6 Run]
🔍 Market Shape
Applesandpears (1.4) — strong short-price fav
Clementines Star (4.5) next best
Others 11+; very top-heavy market
All 6 run — too small for LBS

No — small field, uncompetitive race type, and heavy market skew make it poor for structured opposition
🟥 False Favourite Check
Candidate: Applesandpears (1.4)
Computer Tips: 18 pts — clear top-rated
Trainer: Unknown from Smart Stats; not cold
Concerns: None from model or market
Field: No threat identified, very weak oppo

Maelstrom: Beaten fav last time; hot trainer (Haggas); eye-catching placement
Irish Nectar: Stable switch; 1st-time cheekpieces
Secret Guest: Top 10 earner; long layoff?
Trainer: Germanic trainer not flagged hot; lacks standout profile
Concerns:
Weak model endorsement
Competition is deep — value spread widely
Verdict: ✅ False Favourite
Value Alternatives:
Maelstrom (4.5) — beaten fav, hot trainer, model top-rated (11 pts)
Irish Nectar (21) — massive price, but new yard + 1st-time headgear
🟨 LBS Opportunity
💡 LBS Opportunity: Maelstrom
Odds Range: 4.5
Reason: Beaten favourite, smart yard (Haggas), strong model support
Action: Watch for 4TBP cover or late entry

Stateira (5.5), Bernalda (6.5), Queen Of Atlantis (7.5), Wonderbolt (9.0) — competitive

Computer Tips: Top-rated (10 pts) – strong model backing
Smart Stats:
La Scanderbeide: 1st-time tongue strap, trainer George Boughey in hot form
Bernalda: Blinkers + tongue strap; rider (Jonny Peate) cold (49 rides without win)
Bellarchi: Big drop in form from top prize earnings; trainer Grant Tuer is hot
Trainer: Boughey is a hot trainer and top AW operator
Concerns: Limited — sharp profile, top model pick, positive headgear change
Verdict: ✅ Legit Favourite — but only just; supported by hot trainer + gear tweak
🟨 LBS Opportunity
💡 LBS Opportunity: Bernalda
Odds Range: 6.5
Reason: Blinkers + tongue tie; model score 7 pts; fit profile, trainer sharp
Action: Watch for 4TBP support; fair odds-to-risk ratio
⚠️ Risk: Cold jockey (Jonny Peate); volatility risk late
📌 Stake: 3 pts @ 2.39 band if 4TBP lands in that zone
Race 8 – 19:10 Newcastle (AW) | 5f Handicap (Class 6) [9 Run]
🔍 Market Shape
Fav: Dandy Dinmont (3.5)
Next: Spirit Of Applause (5.0), Macarone (7.0)

💡 LBS Opportunity: Macarone
Odds Range: 7.0
Reason: 1st-time cheekpieces, high model rating, trainer in form

🎯 Total Exposure: 7 pts – ✅ Within daily LBS cap
Here are 3 races from today’s Newcastle card (17 Nov 2025) where Dutching overlays present genuine win-side structural opportunity, based on shape, opposing FFs, and model divergence.
These are not tips — they're system-aligned races where structured Dutching logic may create replicable ROI when managed with discipline.
⚔️ DUTCHING RACE 1: 15:35 – 1m2f Handicap (Class 2)
🟥 FF Verdict: Bragbor – Oppose
Weak rider (Jonny Peate – cold)
Trainer not currently hot
Stable switch without any form lift
Model pressure from Nebras (7 pts) and Savvy Victory (4 pts)
🧠 Dutching Logic:
Nebras (5.5) – lightly raced, Gosden, 7 pts, proven stamina
Savvy Victory (3.25) – pattern form, class edge, OR drop (104 ➝ 98)
Balanced split returns approx 4.0–4.3 across stake
Strong value cover without needing 3rd leg
Target Dutch Return: ≥ 1.35x stake
⚔️ DUTCHING RACE 2: 16:40 – 7f Nursery Handicap (Class 5)
🟥 FF Verdict: Boy Named Sioux – Oppose
Not top on model (6 pts); rated behind Illy’s Roo (9) & Archangel Josepi (7)
Trainer cold; little in hand at price
🧠 Dutching Logic:
Illy’s Roo (7.5) – model top, form intact, each-way type in market
Archangel Josepi (34) – price distortion but 7-pt model support
Accept a wider Dutch band due to price gap: e.g. 60/40 split
Optional Add: Mr Wonka (3.5) for saver cover
Target Dutch Return: ≥ 1.5x stake if only using Roo + Josepi
⚔️ DUTCHING RACE 3: 19:10 – 5f Handicap (Class 6)
🟥 FF Verdict: Dandy Dinmont – Oppose
Not top-rated (8 pts vs Macarone’s 11)
Others have sharper profiles + gear changes
Class 6 sprint often yields volatile outcomes
🧠 Dutching Logic:
Macarone (7.0) – LBS qualifier, 11 pts, 1st-time cheekpieces
Spirit Of Applause (5.0) – class dropper, beaten fav, blinkers return
Optional Add: Ay Gee Ell (8.5) – fits profile markers, market outsider edge
Tri-split yields ~3.0–3.5 average return from 1 unit exposure
Target Dutch Return: ≥ 1.45x stake (2-leg); >1.25x with 3rd horse added

⚠️ 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."

🧾 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 valueForecast 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
😆🔥
