BOT BACK THE FIELD SET UP

[bizmark222]

Hi
I want to set a bot up to do the following in horse racing-

If 2 or more horses go >30 (odds) pre-off AND the the FAV. is >5 then the bot will back the field apart from the 2+ horses that traded >30
Can this be done? thanks

Yes this can be done using signals, but you have to think a bit more about exactly what you want to accomplish. Do you want to exclude ANY horse that touches >30 and a fav that touches >5? or just horses that are currently 30 and fav > 5? To do the former you could do the following:

Set a signal rule (favLessThan5) to 1 for the fav to trigger at fixed odds > 5.
Set a signal (numGreaterThan30) to increment when a selection is > 30 and one signal for each selection to identify the horse thats > 30 (longOddsHorse) = 1

Then create a back rule for each selection to trigger at a selected time when favLessThan5 = 1, numGreaterThan30 > 1 and longOddsHorse not equal to 1.

The latter is simpler. You just need a signal to count the number of horses that are >30.

Im no expert but something along those lines should work.

Thank you for your response!
When you say "create a back rule for each selection" do you mean every runner in the race? and also how do I back all the runners without the ones >30 being backed. Is there a similar rules file already been shared? Sorry for my newbie questions

The way I do it is to set separate rules for each selection. ie back rule 1 applies to selection 1, back rule 2 selection2 etc. You'll set up a signal for each selection to trigger and set a value if >30 (ie longOddsSignal = 5). Then your back rule would contain a condition such as longOddsSignal not equal to 5, so it won't back that horse if a signal has been triggered.

I have tried to set it up but not sure why it will not trigger. I tried moving the odds in to definitely get a match on criteria but nothing
I have attached the file and would really appreciate if someone could take a look and point to me where I have gone wrong. thank you

i think the default value for signals is 1 so maybe try making it set to 2 and condition <2

I haven't put the rule into Guardian to check properly but viewing it in notepad looks like you've got dozens of rules?

To follow Sa7md instructions you only need 2 x Set signal rules and 1 x back bet rule
the first rule applied to the fav the other two applied to ANY selection

1st Set/Modify Signal rule to set a signal on selection with a fixed odds cond
2nd Set/Modify Signal rule to increment a signal on selection & market with a 'fixed odds condition' and 'signal set condition' on selection NOT set with a value
3rd Back Bet rule with 'Signal set condition' on selection is NOT set with a value (and test only for the name of the 2nd signal above NOT set with a value)
and 'Number of place bet triggers condition' on selection is equal to 0
