I have a strategy for the greyhounds with specific rules for each of the 6 traps.

The problem is that I have to nominate the dogs because if a trap is empty then everything gets shunted along and trap 6 becomes trap 5 in the Betfair order etc. Then the wrong rules get applied to some dogs turning a +EV bet into a -EV bet.

It looks like I can only have 5 Automation Nominated Selections, but I need 6. Is there any way around this so I can nominate/name all 6 dogs?

Nominate using saddle cloth which is under a text stored value.

Even easier, if you're on UK greyhounds then the trap number is in the selection name so you can use a text comparison condition that the relevant trap number is in the selection description, like this.

Super that sounds like a much easier way to do it! Would this do the trick?

Also what would I put in the Applies to Section of the general rule - I currently have it as Guardian Nominated Selection 1

If you want that ruleline to trigger on just one selection then use ANY. If you want it to trigger on more than one selection then use EVERY.

Get into Practise Mode and have a good play so you can learn how to trigger them as you wish without risk to your balance.
