Just change the line

Code: Select all

if bool(Runners) == True and ('OR' in grade or 'A' in grade):

to

Code: Select all

if bool(Runners) == True and ('OR' in grade or 'A' in grade) and len(Runners.items())>1:

Used to all work fine when it was originally done so maybe the newer versions of python are more picky. Basically where there's only data for one runner the line (x[1][0] - x[0][0]) fails because x[1][0] doesn't exist.

good point. if 5 runners have no times set, there's nothing to compare the 6th runner with. missed that.

just returned a scrap line I thought it returned all the lines of the day

the script scrapes the remaining races of the day. it won't return picks from races that finished.

I used python a bit in 2013/14 but I’ve totally forgotten it and the modules have grown massively!!

It’s a good program to learn and you can send python outputs into excel if you wish.

This is a good site to learn PYTHON from .... especially if you like football

So that's the place where Greyhound Party moved from its original "Trading Greyhound racing" thread !

Thats interesting information. I too was a regular at White City years ago.

I am also looking at criteria for lays too. Thing i like about mine is the fact its pretty simple, its just time consuming putting the runners into Guardian. Have a friend who works for RacingPost so i have contacted him to see if there's a legal way i could get all the data i need in a Excel sheet and then i could fully automate it between Excel / Guardian etc. That would be the iceing on the cake.

Evening racing is the best with this as i seem to get matched very quickly.

Try this:

Go to greyhound.racingpost.com and choose A type race, find a dog that meets these conditions:
- Worst top speed rating
- Worst (biggest) SP Forecast
- Its recent form must be without any 1st places and not much 2nd and 3rd places
- Comment should be pessimistic (like "shoot this dog, please") without any references to "exchange" or "market" (like "we'll see what market thinks").



Judging by your screenshots you hedge your positions, but did you try to analyze what the result would be if you leave your bets as simple bets without hedging - you can generate more commission (may be helpful when you start to pay Premium Charges) and your profit may be significantly bigger.

Just so you are aware if not already but the comments at Greyhoundbet.Racingpost.com are automated via an algorithm - there's no personal opinion in there so shouldn't be taken too literally. Every algorithm has its flaws
