Dutching automation help

[Frinck]

Hi everyone,

First of all, apologies if this has been answered in another post - i've had a hunt around but can't find exactly what I'm looking for.

So here's my question...

I'd like to automatically dutch certain races (not all) for 75% of the book, covering at least a third of the runners, for a stake of £10 a race.

I use Guardian automation for other systems, but can't figure out if this dutching strategy is possible in there. I've also seen you can auto-bet in the Dutching tab in the main app, but not sure how you control what races it dutches. Finally, the Excel option looks like it could do exactly what I want, but this would be a big learning curve for me, so would like to make sure there isn't an easier alternative before I plough into that side of things.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Al.

There is a ready made dutching bot in the shared files section which shows how it can be made using guardians advanced automation

The auto-bet needs to be set up priot to each race so possibly not what your looking to do

Thanks Dallas. Having read (and re-read) that thread, I'm not sure it's going to achieve what I'd like. Is the only way to use Excel do you think?

The way shown in that thread is the only way possible within AA so yes it would need to be via excel if you wanted to do anymore than that

I imagine a lot of us noobs will be wasting our time trying a simple dutching system to begin with. With my own, I am trying to program a saving condition where a back bet is placed should an unbacked outsider look like winning. However, I don't want it to trigger if my inital entry conditions have resulted in no dutching position having been placed pre-off.
I am identifying this by using two "Number of matched Bets" conditions. Firstly I check No. of matched bets on the selection(the outsider) = 0 and also Number of matched bets on the market > 1. The latter is supposed to identify if any bets have been placed at all and if not, do not trigger the saving bet.

Have I got this right?

If i understand you correctly you would have your dutching bet set up accordingly then a seperate 'place back bet' rule with the following condition
number of matched bets cond
On market
is equal to 0

That will ensure it will only trigger if no early bets have been matched
