  1. Nice snag! The only flaw I see in your estimated returns is the possibility that breeding isn't left open permanently. I think Zed is going to be pretty careful about protecting the scarcity/value of horses and I don't see them flipping the switch on breeding and just leaving it open in perpetuity. That seems like it would be really depressing on values and that's a big part of their future.
  2. What are you targeting in the drop? I'm thinking I'll try to get a Finney filly.
  3. hahahaha. I paid .32, not 3.2 - sorry for the typo!
  4. FOMO got the better of me. I bought the cheapest Z9 filly with a win on the market at .32. 10.5 odds in the G and pretty f'n average everywhere else. But it does look like the previous owner was just splashing into whatever races popped up, so she may not be as bad as her current record reflects. https://knowyourhorses.com/horses/21661 Now I need to decide if I want to sell my first horse or put some more fuel in the tank before the drop. I've had this one listed at .37 but haven't posted anything about it on the for sale board on the Zed discord yet. https://knowyourhorses.com/horses/20802
  5. Jeeze, I can't figure out why people from CO hate people from TX... There's a happy medium here for O&G and CO to coexist where both parties continue to benefit from the other. Reasonable regulation, hammer the bad actors, and allow the good actors to produce without making their lives miserable.
  6. Someone paid list price and turned around and relisted her for .59 Shit is getting frothy af - I think I'll wait and try to scoop a genesis filly in the drop too.
  7. Yea, you're right, I forget that the drop prices were so high for the Z1s. I might change up my strategy and buy a couple of cheap fillies for breeding and hope to get lucky. Thinking back to looking at Steph Curry's parents - they were nothing special at all, so a lot of this could be random. Buy a few like this for .2 = https://knowyourhorses.com/horses/23772 Rainbow Doll is already bid up to .37 - are you bidding on it? And damn, Bingo Baby at .5 is a screaming deal. Good on those traders that can find deals/value. It's a tedious process for sure.
  8. This horse sold for 17 ETH (~$42,500) yesterday: https://knowyourhorses.com/horses/362 a Z1 with only its G race completed with 3.14 odds and a 9th place finish. Bonkers.
  9. You should look for a filly with a backwards L to breed with oz&lbs... They could throw off a lower class monster and you could probably find one cheap af if you dig around enough.
  10. That's kinda what I'm looking for, but I'm having a hard time paying that much for something that is still basically unknown and looking a little chunky in the middle of the U so far. I like those odds at that price though, so I'm probably going to just have to bite the bullet on something similar. I think you're right on the filly market - it's going to go up the closer to breeding we get.
  11. Yea, I have no clue what to expect or what my strategy should be for breeding. The one thing I'm pretty sure on is I want my own filly that has decent race results/odds to breed with Despicable Lemon. Finding her is proving to be a real PITA.
  12. In reading the General Chat on the Zed discord, it sounds like a lot of people have stopped racing all but their strongest horses because the matchmaking and competition being so strong right now. Despicable Lemon has now run 100 races and I've hit the pause button on races for the moment. He's still looking pretty strong, especially for what I paid. I think his odds look even better than the results, so I think waiting a bit to race him more will help maintain his value.
  13. Pretty significant update last night from Zed: I like the limitations on breeding. I'm anxious to breed my horses as well, but limiting dilution is a major positive imo. I need to find a decent filly breeder.
  14. Zed Nucleus updated their marketplace with much more useful filters: http://zed-nucleus.com/opensea/ You can now filter by min/max race count and win %.
  15. Someone sent me an unsolicited offer on Despicable Lemon today - .4 eth. If it was double that I might consider selling, but I’ll take it as a good sign.
  16. I bet the horses from the last drop are settling in to the classes where they will usually live and that's making the races more competitive. I would think right after a drop and/or when they open breeding back up will be a good time to be racing a well established horse. Noobs will be trying to figure out what they have with their new horses and it should make things a bit easier. I've pretty much stopped racing my first horse, but have been running my new one a lot. He's staying put in class 5 and still doing pretty well.
  17. Yup, it's a crapshoot. If you want a pretty well established U shaped horse you have to pay up - probably at least 1 ETH or just get really lucky.
  18. Of course I couldn't resist running Despicable Lemon more! 4 races this morning - two 1sts, two 12ths.... Winning percentage is now over 17% & ROI is 68%
  19. Yes. I don't know if it's because of too much congestion on the network or what, but it would be nice if they communicated some kind of explanation about it.
  20. F'n Bittrex pricing is way behind this morning - just now BTC is quoted at $37k (spot $31.6k), ETH is $2,631 ($2,097) and ADA is $1.53 ($1.13). Are all of the exchanges this far behind? That's brutal.
  21. Phew, a lot of late comers are getting their faces melted off this morning. I'm looking for decent entry points in to BTC, ETH and ADA. Sub $30k, sub $2k and sub $1? Or is it still going to get nastier?
  22. I wonder if this correction in crypto markets will cause a firesale in the Zed horse market too? I was looking at the main for sale board on Discord last night and it felt like there were a few people already panicking. There could be some deals to be had the next few days.
