Auto select highest odds horse in race

[zippus]

Morning all.

I've got an automation that seeks out the worst horse in the field as measured by back odds. The only way I can get the automation to pick the right horse is to manually select it as an 'Automation Nominated Selection'. However, the problem is the horse favouritism orders frequently change.

Is it possible to pre-select a horse in order of favouritism that lifts the data straight from the the field size? I already have a historical stored value with this field size number but I can't seem to find a way of automatically selecting the least favourite runner.

Any assistance welcome. Thanks.

You can use the Rule "Update Custom Ranking of selections" to set a custom ranking


Rank the runners by back price in descending order

Set your bet to select rank 1 in Custom Ranking 1

Should pick out the assumed donkey everytime.

Thanks Jukebox. That makes perfect sense. Will give it a try. Much appreciated.

Cheers Shaun. Definitely worth avoiding these traps! Only staking £1 so won't lose my shirt on this one.
