for my dad

[princemarkie]

help needed if possible please...long story but a very close relative now has to go into a care home at 94 years old his main interest in life has always been football and i want to set up a rule to use for his knowledge......am looking to get this sorted but cant seem to manage to set up this rule

Back 2.5 goals (adjustable to lay if need be)
to run for 20 minutes from start (adjustable)
auto cash out after 20 minutes (adjustable)
£10 bet (adjustabe)

I can do the changing to his requests but i am struggling to automate this, he has a really good strike rate to be honest and i know he would love to kick the bookies a little bit.. ..its not full proof obviously but just to give him some enjoyment in his last days.
Thanks for your help.
I am ok downloading files and installing
Thanks again

Mark.

Does your 94-year-old father have a Betfair account, access to the internet, a PC and Bet Angel in his care home?

I'm curious because my mother's hit 90 and her care home doesn't provide any of these facilities. I attended a meeting for relatives just before Christmas. I never thought of it but perhaps I should raise a suggestion next time?

i am the one with the accounts but the care home does supply wi-fi and he has a facebook portal for him to talk to us via the system which is great for his mental wellbeing ( i have tried to explain it to him...NAH...he doesnt get it)...unfortuneately these things werent around when my mum passed...for what care homes cost these days they should have all the amenaties...thousands per month....anyway he is in a BUPA carehome in Reading and wi-fi is available...i cant comment on other homes avaiability

You only need two rules. One to back Under 2.5 goals for £10 in-play (which can be changed to lay) at best or second best price, which can also be changed, and then a greenup rule fired 20 minutes into the match.

I do like the idea of octogenarians and nonagenarians trading away, keeping their mind agile. I remember reading Quincy Jones saying he plays sudoku to help stave off dementia and betfair trading could offer the same benefit.

Post screen shots and someone will be able to spot the error.

If its backing both over and unders sounds like you have applied it to 'Every' selection, but as James says you'd need to post the file for a precise answer

Just so you are aware there's a ready-made file here that you can download which does what you've asked for (just needs changing from a lay to back rule)

you now need to bottle that knowledge - most of it will not be seen or discovered in number crunching alas!!
