Australian Greyhound Box Selection

[Pockets]

Hi All,

Looking for some assistance in correctly selecting Greyhound Box draw in Australia. I have made a bot where I am wanting to lay and back certain boxes and from using and reading the forum I've been able to basically get this correct including across different tracks, however a problem occurs with Scratchings, because if boxes are vacant then it moves the betfair row order and often make the incorrect rule fire. With G 6 racing in Australia now that means it happens all the time, because box 3 and 6 are left vacant on purpose.

So for example, If i want the bot to Back box 1 and 3 but lay Box 2. If box one was scratched or vacant without a reserve, then now box 2 will actually be in Betfair Row 1 and Box three will be in Betfair row 2. Hence the bot will actually back box 2 instead of laying it, and lay box 3 instead of backing it. So far it is causing at lot of misfires. It also makes selecting the Reserves difficult

Ive noticed from both the historical BSP spreadsheets provided by Betfair and via using BetAngel that each Dog name is actually structed to have its box number first before the name of the dog, so ideally if you were able to do a text comparison on the name of the selected runner you could search for (1. or 2.) and it would correctly compare and match to the correct box or reserve runner regardless of there order in the Betfair Row.

Ive read right thru all the store values and signals information to see if i could make a work around but cant work out a way. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,

I am trying to do the same thing but without success. Were you able to do it and if so do you mind sharing

I don't think there is away around this, The way I do it is use Guardian Selections 1, 2, 3 or however many up to 5 selections

Is a right royal pain in the arse if you have over 100 races loaded.
