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

DYRHOLAEY (12pts) – AU top points, but cautioned for gear and stable cooling signals
PRINCE OF PILLO (8pts) – Down-in-class seller re-entry, AU second pick, no flags

⚠️ 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 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
😆🔥
