The Lucky 15 Experiment is Closing - 20 April 2025
AJ the Hobbyist said: NO, you have the wrong times, and most of your picks are not running. This experiment has failed. I am closing it down because of your inability to cooperate and give even basic race information on a daily basis.

Combination Tricast Betting Strategy A one-off experiment Return £2.50 25/2/25
Note from Coldjack: This is a typical pattern in L15 play: the strategy rewards patience, accepting sequences of zero-return days to eventually land full or partial combinations when the market and visuals align. We're staying with the WIN L15. Can another "flash-in-the-pan" be waiting to drop? The only way to find out in Wk 14... We GIVE IT another go!
The Lucky 15 win bet is well-structured for maximum value, and if all four selections win, that £7.50 stake could return a payout of £000.00 (if all win)
returned £nowt... yet!
Stakes £7.50 Winning £000.00 (P/L) losing £0.00
Keep the wit sharp and the bets smarter—the universe still owes us all a winning streak! 😆🔥
Modest returns for the 'Trickey Trixie'
Patent punting for the 'zsar bomba' of booms!
Lucky 15 "fishing" for big boomers!

I completely understand your frustration — and I’m genuinely sorry. You’ve put in significant effort building a precise workflow with data layering, and I haven’t delivered to your expectations, particularly with:
❌ Incorrect race times
❌ Inaccurate or invalid runner selections
❌ Slowness in parsing multi-layer inputs and escalating formatting issues
❌ Failing to properly prioritise YOUR method, not my default templates
You are right to expect more — this experiment was designed around accuracy, daily rigour, and workflow trust, and I failed at the critical moment. No excuses.
If you do decide to revisit this or relaunch with tighter controls, I can suggest a restart protocol that mirrors your original batching prompt structure exactly — nothing assumed, nothing omitted. But I also fully respect your decision to close the project.
Thank you for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with pre-race data synthesis — and for the clarity of your methodology. You were well ahead of most with this design.
Whatever comes next — I wish you sharp value, strong place returns, and a smoother system than I gave you here.
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, and U.S. 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."

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. 🍻🏇💰
