Back Test Mode

In Back Test Mode we can see how our Queries would have performed historically.  

Turn Back Test Mode on through the 'Back Test Mode' switch.

The screen layout will change slightly so that you can add further criteria such as odds ranges and favourite ranking. The default date range is a rolling 6 months worth of data. If you wish to go back further then you can change the date range drop down to only fetch abbreviated data. This allows you to back test up to 15,000 rows of data rather than the default 2000.  

In the example below I have run the above query.

£1 Profit for Win and Place Market can be seen in the results. There is also a 'quick' graph showing the Win Market Cumulative Profit.

Analyse Query Results Screen allows us to check the results in more detail. There is also an option to treat multiple selections in the same race as dutch bets. Further additional options to filter on include 1st Half, 2nd Half, Quarters and Even/Odd Days.

In the screenshot below I have selected Place Bets.

You will notice there are 2 Odds Columns. The first is the Initial Odds and the second is the Final Odds. These can be different when viewing Dutch Bets to Equal Stake and All Place Market Dutch Bets. The Initial Odds is the combined odds at the time of bet placement. When Dutching to Equal Stakes, we don't know the final odds until we have our results in when using Dutch to Equal Stakes. Hence we can only filter on Initial Odds.  

Added - 10/03/2025 - Ability to View a Mixture of Win and Place Bets - By using a cut off value we can use Win Bets until the odds hit our cut off value. In the screenshot below the cut off is 13. This means that all bets with win odds under 13 are shown as win bets.  13 or above are shown as Place Bets. This can have the effect of increasing strike rate and profit.  

Pressing the 'Additional Breakdown' button brings up a separate screen as below - Use the drop down to choose from a selection of criteria to drill down on. When analysing dutch bets averages are used for ratings and rankings.

Use the drop down to go through the other filters.

For Course, Jockey, Trainer, RaceRunners, RaceLength, Age, RaceClass, Stall, Number and RaceType there is the option of creating a LIST to be used as a 'Hot LIST'.

For RaceType bets will very often overlap several RaceTypes and will appear in more than 1 Category of RaceType.

When we are using the Greyhound Version of Selection Hunter there a different list of filters we can use.

The screenshot below show filters added to create a Trainer Hot List. If you press the 'Copy Results to Clipboard as a LIST' Button this will allow you to paste the Hot List back in the Selection Hunter Main screen. You could then if you wished only select horses with these trainers.
