yep, my bot is going 24 hours a day, all dogs, UK and Aus
Aus dogs are a goldmine, much easier than UK. And straight tracks so trap doesn't matter. More races and often 8 dogs so you can bet on 33% more selections every race. Commision tricky though but you'll probably be on a big discount.
Number of selections you get to bet on is determined by the size of your bank and strategy and not on the number of selections in a race IMO.🦉

Not if you're laying, each one you add reduces liability. But yeah backing 7/8 is a different story. Automatically hedging at bsp reduces the variance and drama. But banks grow if something is profitable, you've only got to add £1 to the stake each day and in a month or two you're on as much as the markets will take.

Profit is edge * stake * opportunity so with edge being limited, stake being limited, the controllable is doing as many as possible. You don't need a big margin if you can do the turnover. Stack them high and sell them cheap.

Yep strategy is obviously the key but I don't bother looking at anything that doesn't have that potential to scale. It's tempting cos looking at a horse or dog favourite it's easier but it depends what you want you want to be paid for your time and effort.

Are you doing a pre-play lay betting strategy where you can lay up to three/four dogs/horses per race ?

Ends up around 50/50 backs and lays but it could be all of one, or the other. Depends what gets matched. Hope to get 3 or 4 bets on each of 3 or 4 selections. It's market agnostic so I use it on most things.

I'm testing something similar in-play using £20 liability /bet

"Fast track" ⏩
Change from £20 liability stake/bet to £1 liability stake/bet
And limit 'odds' range so as not to exceed £20 'bank'

When you have a bot that is basically set and forget on greyhounds,
Minimum Liability, Maximum Profit.

It's called "The Reaper" for a reason, as it Reaps in the profit.
Graph shows 3 days results "Set and Forget"
Works brilliantly in the background.

As Perry Barr is set to close this year (licence runs out in 2026) and a new track planned to open within the Wolverhampton Racecourse, a trip down memory lane of how the Wembley Greyhound track used to look. (both before my time)

Wow. I've been to watch the greyhounds twice, once at Poole, once at Doncaster. Both were depressing places 🤣 just a handful of people there

Most tracks have gone that way, propped up by the bookmakers subsidies, in some way or other.
