Hello,
I was wondering if the text comparison rule can be used for the selections as well, for example, I want to trigger bets on selections that contain "XYZ" in it and not all the selections. So before every match, I just want to type the name of the selections that I don't want to bet on.

Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure it's just the market name that can be compared against (selections are not part of that).

Hi Dallas, anyone that can help.

I am trying to create a basic lay file that uses the text comparison condition.

I have it set up to lay any selection.

In the conditions the text comparison criteria is a selections name

Any selection.

Contains at least one of the following.

Will it fire on only one in the list?

If i want it to lay three in the list in the same race will it fire?

The reason I ask is it only fired on one in a previous race. Should have been 3. There is no other condition.

Thanks in advance

The rule would need to be applied to 'Every' selection

You could also apply it to 'ANY' selection but it would need to be armed to trigger several times
and use a 'Number of Place bet Triggers condition' on the selection is equal to 0
to ensure it can only triggers once per selection

Afternoon all,
If Im wanting to not bet on a race with 'no form', I have sent up a stored value. Then under conditions picking the text comparison. Now, I cant not just put nothing in the 'text item' box. What do I put?
