Been playing around with this, and it's going ok. (ish)

Occasionally, one or two doesn't get matched as the money goes against you, which is fair enough. Realise that i can click 'close' on unmatched bets but is there a way to see what the impact of that is before doing so? i.e. i expect it'll make me all 'red' but where/how can i see by how much that is before closing.

Cheers and keep up the great work! dpr

I think the best way would to be knock somthing up in excel.You would have to re dutch the profit on the unmatched prices.
One thing to remember when dutching the horses,is that if non of them finish you will lose everything you have bet.I dont think that happens to often.I have never seen it happen,but its one thing to take in when dutching the nags.

I left dutching alone, the nags can sting quite hard, i like to have one horse open (usually the favourite) then close for a all round profit
