In the Race Distance Condition there are: -
1. Less than
2. Equal to
3. Greater than
Is it possible to also have?
"Does not equal to"
I have so many instances where I want to ignore 1 particular distance, let's say 1m.
In order for me to do this I add 2 Conditions, a) less 8 furlongs and b) greater than 8 furlongs.
It would be much easier if the condition is "does not equal" 8 furlongs
If I was pedantic and wanted to have 2 distance conditions and I didn't want 1m and 2m, then I have to add 4 race distance conditions, a) less 8 furlongs and b) greater than 8 furlongs AND a) less 16 furlongs and b) greater than 16 furlongs. Usually in this instance though, I create a new rule name for each distance.
(unless novice me is missing a trick?)
Race Distance Option "Does Not Equal"
Havent tried it but seeing as the distance is in the market name, could you not use a "Text Comparison - Market name does not contain" condition ?
eg. Market name = <Meeting> <Date> <Distance>
If you wanted to ignore 1m you would have a not contain " 1m " (with a space either side of the 1m so it didnt ignore 1m3f)
eg. Market name = <Meeting> <Date> <Distance>
If you wanted to ignore 1m you would have a not contain " 1m " (with a space either side of the 1m so it didnt ignore 1m3f)

that's how i would do it.
you just have to think a little laterally on this one. by using the <GROUP> collection in the rule, you can effectively use that to imply NOT for any condition contained within.
below, we'd IGNORE races equal to 8 & 16 furlongs as per your example. any other NORMAL rules would appear outside that <GROUP>:
I use a similar approach using <GROUP> collections to allow me to use a single rule to target all crossover odds friction points.

P.S. how did you add that text part to your group? i.e. race is = 8 furlongs
Defo missing a trick here LOL

just add the group start/end and insert the normal rule inside it. otherwise, you can create the rule outside and just use the up/down arrows to move it into the grouppaspuggie48 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 10:23 amP.S. how did you add that text part to your group? i.e. race is = 8 furlongs
