The thing i dont understand is why would a bot back in something at 1000's?

Worthwhile looking into ..when I get time!

Exacta - Its probably due to bad programming...

a bot of mine backed a horse down to 1.05 on a US horse place market last Wednesday

This was because I touched the mouse by mistake resulting in a click on the wong part of the screen.

I lost 200 quid.

If I'd had a cat......

It's easy to do when the scripting is poor

When I first started messing about with bots, I had a command to back any selection with a certain weight of money when the book dropped to a certain %.

This needed fine tuning when it placed a bet of £25 at odds of 980

:lol:

Done Pre Race when BF cocked up the market and cleared the market - good job it was only for £1 as the horse won!

Probably one of the biggest cocks up I have ever seen. Somebody is about to take a massive bath on this race!
