Hi All
I would like to create an automation file for use on small horse race fields of 6 runners where you have an open looking race. The parameters would be that the favouite and second favourite are at least 3/1 each. The idea would be to place a back bet on the other 4 runners for profit should one of them win.
Any ideas how I would set this up in guardian?
Open looking small field bot
The following are the main parts to what you need
Rule Type
Place Back Bet
Applied to 'Sorted in order of Favourtism' 3
Parameters
Stake by Book%
Conditions
Number of Selections
is less than 7
Fixed odds condition
Selection Sorted in order of Betfair Favourtism 1
is 'greater'
than 3.0
Then use the icon with two green arrows to duplicate the whole rule and on the general tab change applies to 'Sorted in order of Favourtism' 4
and repeat the for runners 5 & 6

Hi Dallas thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. I'm certainly going to set this up as you suggested.
However I do have a couple of questions: 'stake by book %' does this mean that the software will apportion the stake pro-rata across the 4 runners? So for example if you entered £20 as the stake and you had a 5/1 and a 20/1 it would stake more on the 5/1?
The way I used to do this manually was using what may seem to be an odd way of staking but a method I found worked really well for me. lets say you had a field 3/1, 10/3, 9/2, 6/1, 8/1 & 16/1. I would stake £6 on the 9/2, 6/1 chances and £4 on the 8/1 and 16/1 outsider. The reason for this is that I learnt to identify the right type of race/course etc and I found that the outsiders would often outrun their odds so in order to preserve the chance of a decent payout I did it like that content with a smaller payout should the smaller prices win.
If it's possible to replicate this in Bet Angel I would be really grateful

The book% will ensure a equal profit on those backed (no matter what their odds) with a equal loss on those not backed , but if you have an existing staking method then you can use that but you may find lots of adjusting or additional rule/conditions required to account for the range of odds on the 4 outsiders you may get
