Greyhound Laying

[Philthy]

Hi all,

Newbie to Bet Angel and first time ever post on any Forum so please be gentle.
Wanting to trial a simple (I believe) automation function to lay the same numbered trap in each race at the greyhounds (just as a start to get a feel for the way Bet Angel works). A set and forget on the whole card on a given day. It's not as easy as I thought and I can't seem to find any related topics to assist and have read the user guide a number of times.
Looking to ideally lay 5 units at BSP, if BSP is 20.00 or less. I've attempted any number of combinations to set the rules, however without success.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks. Phil

You'd have to lay before the off based on the lay price being <=20.
The bsp isn't known until the race has already started.

As Shaun has said the BSP isn't known until the off - BA does include BF's Projected SP so it can be used as a an additional condition to test.
Greyhound markets form very late and are usually still bubbling at the off - as you are concentrating on a single trap you can expect a fair share of outsiders to occupy it. With the wispy prices at long odds its not unuusual to see a best lay price of say 25 the moment before suspension instantly turn to an SP of 18. For this reason you might want to lower the top end of your range.

I've made up an untested file you can adjust and play with.

You can set BSP limits of the max price you wish to lay at or the minimum price you wish to back at. Dunno if the option is available using BA but it is an option betting at BSP thru the API.
