greyhound automation

Is it true

Empty cans make most noise?


Lets see

Hi Stella,

I could do that for you if its just UK racing. (Pretty much the same data Elvis has apart from fancy looking GUI ). Very cheap as well.
If AU i can only do: dog, time of a race, trap, last 5 finished positions and most importantly early speed as shown in the screenshot.
Check also your inbox. Messaged you .

Hi
Thanks for replying
Is it possible to look at the results from racing post of an individual dog then?
There are 9 "criteria" on RP
Dont know about other sites
eg date ,track etc
Not all reqd
how many and which can you "scrape" focus on?

[StellaBot]

Or any others
who maybe be able to capture
the 9 variables on RP
or plz let me know which variables
if poss

edit
are catchable

[StellaBot]

There are 16 variables
on racing post for greyhounds

I assume
there is no chance of those 16 variables
being on one spreadsheet?

[ilovepizza82]

I dont scrape Racing Post. There are better ones out there imho. Dont have a code or script to scrape RP at the moment anyway.
16 is not a problem I scrape more than that.

EDIT: The spreadsheet also has split times of course and few other things but because I was only able to upload only 3 screenshots for some reason I couldnt show it here. BA forum has some strange limits.

Correct in general. However, making sure that the race has a real fav and other tweeting’s (still in progress) I am achieving a win rate over 97%. . With a fix liability per active selection, I am managing the 2,5% of loss races. I think If I was using a fixed bet size per active race money management may become a problem. As I increase the size of the liability actually getting a lay without effecting the odds may be a problem. PS Thanks for the reply

Yes but if you lay dogs at high odds you do need high strake rate really.

Thanks for your reply - the initial selection in entered manually - only selection requirement is slow started ( relative). The information is available on the internet. Using price of not only the selection but more importantly others in the race the decision on if the selection is activated is done automatically. - It usually takes 4 minutes a race meeting to input the selections. - Method is still rolling ahead.

Can someone explain why the Rules name is different in figure 1 to figure 2 please?

They both say 'Take SP'?

So I have just tried this automation and it worked beautifully. Just one question. What would happen if the racing was delayed? Would the bets be stored until the eventual off time? Thanks in advance

Yes. They are often slow to load / delayed and the SP back bets do get matched 99% of the time. Lay bets are another matter though, in my experience.

Hi Crazyskier,

Wondering if you can elaborate a little on the issues you face here with playing Lay Bets at BSP? Im looking to create an automation file to lay trap(s) at BSP for a fixed stake.

If i created a file stating to lay Nominations 1 & 2 at 1.01 30 seconds before the scheduled off time then take BSP - would this not work?

Hi, not always, in my experience.

I'm not sure why, but the BSP back bets are almost always matched, of any size, but very frequently, the BSP lay bets are only partly matched on the dogs. Horses = fine, dogs not so. This is bad enough on the win market and even worse on the place market I have found. I've had a few near-misses with higher odds B2Ls before now, and occasionally been stung for much greater liability that it should have been if the BSP lays had been matched. I'd love to know why this happens.

Australian Greyhounds.- more modifications Only select races less than 500mts and no straight course racing. Lay slowest dog ( start) for a set amount provided the race has a strong favourite. ( The determination of a firm favourite is subjective) . Takes 3 minutes a meeting . It only brings in beer money but is fun

If it's subjective then it's not automation. It's just using analysis and then getting the software to place the bet rather than you doing it.

After much tweaking I have finally derived a greyhound automation ( Australian market only) that appears to be profitable.
The logic is that a slow starting dog is at a significant disadvantage in a greyhound race . This is most evident in short races.
Final Automation
Select greyhound to lay based on the speed maps only. The lay selection must be designated slow relative to others in the race. Although selected using the speed map they are not activated unless race price criteria are met. By the way races of 500 mts or over are excluded
Over the past 30 days I have actively traded on over 1000 races gradually increasing the liability with a profit of $830. However, the last 18 day ( increased liability and activation restrictions) a profit of $627 has been achieved. It may be possible to use speed maps on the UK greys to achieve similar results. I am looking at reducing some activation restrictions since it appears some are unnecessary .

Hi there

I am new to Bet Angel but enjoying the journey of automatic wagering. I am interested in how you select the greyhound based on a speed map. Is this done manually?
