Hi, can anyone help or even build me an automation file for greyhounds.
I want to be able to select the dogs. If that dog is in the top 3 for volume in the win market - it will then make a bet in the place market.
simple enough - 8 hours trying says differently
Best regards

You need to use stored values saved at 'event' level in an automation applied to the win market of a race. A stored value at 'event' level in the win market can be read by an automation applied to the place market of the same race.Andyx wrote: ↑Sat Sep 27, 2025 10:00 pmHi, can anyone help or even build me an automation file for greyhounds.

So one option would be;
On the win market you could save SV1 as 'the selections ID on Betfair' on the condition that it is in the 1st in order of volume. Then the same for SV2 being the 2nd highest, and again for SV3 being the 3rd highest. Then in the place market, trigger a bet on 'every selection' on the condition that SV1, SV2, or SV3 = 'the selections ID on Betfair'.

You can combine rules for different markets into one rulesfile as long as you dictate which market type each line runs on in conditions.
This is how I would do it. I've not tested this so use in practise mode first.

Hi James, thank you for helping out - i see how you've put it together, and now seeing it makes better sense to me, especially the 'market type condition'
It works well, however i only want to be able to use the 'nominated selections' i choose.
How do i change it so it only places the place bet from my choices?
I'll try to tinker with your file
thanks again.

Do you mean the nominated selections only if they are in the top 3 volume? If so then add this condition to the place market trigger.Andyx wrote: ↑Sun Sep 28, 2025 11:12 amHi James, thank you for helping out - i see how you've put it together, and now seeing it makes better sense to me, especially the 'market type condition'

Hi James - i think I've got it. On the Store SV rules - i added the condition 'current selection is Guardian nominated' and grouped it with the 'current selection is Guardian is rank 1 in custom ranking 1' made it so 'all is true'.
Initial testing it seems to be ok. I'll continue to test in practice mode - but i thank you for your help.
