Selecting 6 Horses

[smgreyuk]

Hi there,

I would like to select 6 horses (as nominated) to enter into a dutch, but I see that I can only select up to 5 nominated selections.

What would be a good work around to get the 6th horse recognised in the Dutch?

Something is telling me to use a CSV file to store the horse name to an SV, the problem I have with that is the naming of the Stored Value for each 6th horse if I am going to be doing this for a dynamic number of races each day. Maybe a Count SV that tallys off when a race is complete then the count is used in conjuction with the condition names of the SVs from the CSV file? It could get messy I suppose ...

I am then thinking could it be done over 2 open instances of Bet Angel, with 3 nominated horses in one instance and 3 in another and shared Stored Values between the two (if possible) to calculate the dutching?

I am currently trying to see if anyone else has asked this question but I am not seeing anything.

Has anyone got any ideas?

I may well not be privy to something that would make this much simpler than my ideas

One option that might work is to create something using the one-click screen and 'servant context selection' to individually mark the horses you want included on each race separately.

Using a CSV file to store a value at selection level for your chosen runners should work.

I do something similar - this is an example of a CSV I use, which gives a stored value named 'Qualifier' a value of '1' for my chosen runners.

You can then apply whatever rules you use to place your bets to EVERY runner, with a condition that they have a value of '1' for your stored value.

Ah two great options to try, thank you both a lot.

There's a ready-made servant like James described above plus a dutching bot to use with it which would save you making everything from scratch

9 times out of 10 Dallas has already done a bot.

I don't know how he remembers them all...

Hard part is remembering exactly what I called it, especially the times its a secondary task within it that someone is trying to do

Ah the legendary Dallas.

I thank you sir. I did have a look myself but obviously not hard enough

His Tommy,

With your method, how do you handle Non Runners - For example if the horses were loaded into the CSV and then they become Non Runners before the off, I would like to automatically abort all bets in that race.

is that do-able?

Edit - I think I have an idea. Initialise an SV Counter to = 0 before any other rule then run a rule to increment an SV Counter on the CSV file a few seconds before the bet rules with the Counter being incremented each time it's hit - I would need a condition for EVERY runner that has a value of 1 in the named SV in the CSV file.

Then in the actual bet rules, add the condition "Counter to equal 6", on each bet rule.

I think that would work....

The easiest way is probably to store a value 'calculated from a range of values' for the market, which calculates the sum of 'Qualifier' stored values for all selections.

Then use this stored value in your bet conditions. If it doesn't equal 6 then don't trigger the bet.

Run this rule after your set stored values rule.
