Hi, I bet favourites in certain Australian races, but want to exclude certain horses if those horses happen to be the favourite (at jump time). Can Bet Angel software accomodate this?

Pretty sure you can't , bit I guess it depends on your criteria.

Criteria I use to EXCLUDE certain horses would be age of horse, so all I want to do is bet on the BF favourite say 10 secs before jump but not if the favourite is a horse I have manually excluded as one I do not want to bet on.

I don't think that is possible to do, good luck

I think you can if you link to excel and trigger that way.

I'm sure there is a more sophisticated method, but if you have already manualy excluded the horse, you presumably know its name. You could then just add that into a betting filter in a spreadsheet. ie a simple =IF statement.

IF horse name does not equal (nagg1 or nagg2 or nagg3), then bet etc.

This does rely on you having worked the name out manually, but once you've done that it should be pretty simple.
