How to back the favourite- automation help

[TheINTJ]

Hi everyone,
I’ve started using bet angel for about 2 months mostly for greyhound.
I need help with a condition, I’m going to try my best to explain it probably using the wrong terminologies so please excuse the beginerness

I want an automation, for the greyhound market, where I place a bet on the dog (usually the favourite) with one minute to go (I know how to do this part already) but only if the total volume of money of the whole market has been placed on that dog is over x %.

How do I create that rule or condition?
For example: there’s a total of £15,000 placed on that race. And £12k has been placed on a greyhound alone. Is there a rule that “if a runner has over 70% of the market’s money on it.” Then place bet?

Many thanks in advance

You can use a Stored Value condition

and configure it to test;

Selections Volume%
Is greater than
An Entered amount
70

Thank you so much for your help Dallas.
I've spent the last week trying to make this automation work. i can report that it does work but only 50% of the time.
All i want is for the bot to place a bet on any greyhound that has over 70% of the market's volume (£) i.e £7k on a runner in a market that has £10k total.

Anyway
i've tried:
Value A: The volume of the market
is: greater than
Value B: the volume % of a selection
Adjustment: plus 30 percent
That didn't work.

then i tried adjustment: minus 30%
didn't work.

then i tried: The volume % of a selection/in position 1 (sorted in order of favouritism) is more than The volume of a selection / in position 2 (sorted in order of favouritism) plus 70%
that worked 30%/ and made mistakes 70%

I've got it at almost 50/50 now. and ive included a screenshot of it.
If i can get this automation to do what i want: ONLY place a bet if the favourite is at least 70% more than the 2nd favourite (or any other runner) then bet.

I thought maybe the time til race to too long, i had it to trigger 30 seconds before start, maybe the market changed in that time. i've got it to trigger 10 seconds, to avoid big bets coming in.

tbh at 85% it really shouldn't trigger that often. ive got it on all the uk races each day, which is about 130 races or so, it's triggering about 60 times, i check EVERY result - win or lose. it puts bets on even when the fav from 2nd fav is less than 10%
I am breaking even at the moment, if the bot doesn't make as much mistakes, then i'd be profiting!

Could you take a moment to look at my automation and point out where im going wrong.

I thought this would be a very simple automation compare to most of the other ones on this forum. ive been at this for weeks now lol

many thanks steven

Create a stored value for every selection that = selection vol / market vol. Then trigger on every selection where condition is met that the SV >0.7.

Even easier, as per Dallas' note there is a direct condition already available to select:

Here's how you can approach this:

1. Set up your automation file: In Bet Angel, you can create a rule to monitor the market and apply your conditions.

2. Condition for volume percentage: You can use the "Stored Value" condition to calculate the percentage of money placed on each runner. Here's how:

• First, store the total matched volume of the market (e.g., £15,000) as a "Stored Value."

• Then, store the individual matched volume on the dog (e.g., £12,000).

• Create a calculation: (Individual Matched Volume / Total Matched Volume) * 100.

3. Set up the condition: Once you have the percentage, set the condition so that if it’s over 70%, the bet is placed. For example, “If stored value is greater than 70, then place the bet.”

This should give you an automation rule that only places the bet when the favorite has over 70% of the total money in the market. Let me know if you need more specific details on setting it up!
