I am trying to do some automated betting using the Excel spreadsheet. I need to be able to lay a runner taking using the "Start Price". My issue is when I lay a particular runner I need to be able to specify the odds and the stake
Therfore - My issue/Question is two fold:
1. Firstly - How do I specify a "Start Price" lay in the "Bet Rules/individual comments" cell - (as in what is the instruction? - if I want to lay a horse at current or specified odds I simply instruct this cell to "Lay" - but I'm not certain what to do for a "Start Price" lay)
2. What Odds do I specify as I won't know what the "Start Price" is at the time of placing the bet/instruction
Hope this makes sense and someone mopre knowledgable than myself can answer
Cheers
Michael
Start Price in Excel
I take it you're referring to starting price (BSP).C769330 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 3:44 amI am trying to do some automated betting using the Excel spreadsheet.

1. I've never actually used it myself but the syntax is documented here.
2. You specify the maximum odds your willing to accept (or the minimum if you were backing).
