Doesn't time fly!

I've encountered the same issue as many do & it's that old favourite of paceline selection! (I love how the spell check automatically underlines favourite as being incorrect!)

I had some outstanding results and some real shockers too. This was really all down to my fundamental lack of knowledge when selecting the lines & I think sometimes I might have hit the odd good one by pure luck.

As time passed it began to dawn on me that there was obviously something missing from my approach and I ended up looking into the issue of the Match Up, as you may have noticed from my posts in that area of the Forum.

Still learning etc, but what I'm doing at the moment is projecting pace and using that as the basis of paceline selection. Then taking the top rated BL/BL if over 5/2 with the highest overlay of the next two etc etc. This approach seems to be working & as I use betfair I can often get 5/2 about a horse that is lower on the mutuels. It does limit me with track selection a little however.

I'm here for the long haul though, that's for sure!
