Lay the Field Strategy

[Archangel]

I am looking to automate a specific scenario, and indeed such a bot might already exist in the library

This bot monitor the back prices of each horse, and when two or more trade around the 2 mark it will lay the field. The idea is to lay the field in a tight race. What would be the most efficient way to achieve this ?

Thanks

Use this
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=11239

and change the arm time to last the full race
Then add fixed odds condition to test
Price of 2nd fav
is less than 2.50 (or whatever price you want to use)

You can add another if you want to create a range and test
Price of fav
is greater than 1.80 (or whatever price you want to use)

Great, thanks for that

From what ive tried of laying the field it does seem to work better in handicaps ... though i have no data to back that up...
would it not also be beneficial to leave out the fav in laying all as the fav is likely to win from time to time
