Greyhound laying automation

[philip37000]

Hello all,
Im new here so please forgive me if I am asking for something that has already been discussed. If so I cannot find it here. I am looking for a simple greyhound betting automation file that lets me lay multiple dogs in a race but only selects the best lay odds dog and cancels all other bets

thanks

Do you mean you want to nominate which dogs you want to lay by name?

Or do you mean lay the fav?

Hello, thanks for the reply. I want to select by trap number.. Thanks.

[philip37000]

Any further comments?

Hello, thanks for the reply. I want to select by trap number.. Thanks.

So on race 1 you might decide to lay traps 2, 3 and 6 and you want the rule to lay the lowest price from those traps
then on race 2 you might want to lay traps 1, 2 and 4 and the rule is again to lay the lowest price from those traps?

[philip37000]

Hello and thanks for the reply. Yes that's exactly what I would need.

[philip37000]

Also min lay odds 2 and max 6

[philip37000]

Sorry that should read min 2 abd max 8

Ok I see what it is you want now

First you'll need a 'Set/Modify Stored Value' rule applied to Guardian nominated 1
and on the stored value tab set a stored value (give it any name your want ie, sel_order) the selections 'back price'

Then duplicate that rule up to 4 more times with the only change being the selection its applied to, so for the second rule apply it to 'Guardian Nominated 2'
and so on

Then add a 'Update Custom Rankings of Selections' rule
and on the parameters tab
Assign Rankings to - Custom Ranking 1
Rank by - Stored Value named 'sel_order' (or whatever you named your stored values
in Ascending Order

Then you can add your 'Place Lay bet' rule
and apply it by Rank to 'Custom Ranking 1' 1


Then each race you just choose the selections/trap numbers you want to potentially lay on your main Guardian page in the 'Automation Nominated Selection' columns

Thank you so much. I am not familiar with the settings. Any chance you could send me the .baf file please?

Much appreciated.

I don't think he'd have written a baf file, it's just an explanation.

ive got a related query to this as when there are six runners, my automation is fine, but with NR it can cause significant problems.

Ive had a play around and set SVs as follows : T1=1, T2=2, T3=3 etc etc taken from the betfair row number

when there is a vacant trap (lets say T4) this causes T4 to have an SV of 5, T5 to have an SV of 6 etc, which causes havoc with the automation,

I think the solution is if T4 not equal to 4, then remove that from the automation with a dummy value, and reassign the other traps SV using a +1 for the SV,

(I am also using another SV to pull the number out from the selection name so "5. Still running" has a value of 5.

Simplest way I can see of doing it.

why don't you use a text comparison so that it is looking for the dog name containing 4
