This is a basic Guardian automation file created for use on horse racing market markets, but it can also be adapted to use on any other type where upon you want to dutch a number of selections uf they command a certain amount of the overall book%
The purpose of this rules file is dutch the 1st, nd and 3rd favourites using a fixed £10 stake 20 secs before the off providing the three runners hold between 70% - 85% of the total book%
and there back prices are all greater than 2.0 and there are 7 or more runners in the race
NB; To use this bot you will need to be using the latest version of Bet Angel Pro which is now V1.63 and can be downloaded from the following location if you are not already using it

How it works and using the Rules File
Once you have it imported into your Guardian you can edit those (or any other parts of the file) anyway you want or remove them and add your own rules to use the recent form very easily by clicking on "Edit Rules File".
Please refer to the 'Note' tab for a more detailed explanation on how each rule works and how it may be connected/linked to other rules within the file
Downloading and Importing the Files
To use the file just click on the 'Dutch Front Three if There Combined Book% is Between 70%-85%.baf' link below and that will download it to your computer, then with guardian open on the "Automation" tab click "Import a Rules File" as shown in the image, once imported it will now appear in the pick list area just above, you can now apply it to any markets you have added into guardian.

As with any automation bot always run in practice mode first to ensure everything is working fine, and repeat this each time you make any changes.

Thanks Dallas, been looking for something like this. I dont really understand book price so I deleted those rules and was wondering if there is any way I could get it to be dutching the first 3 favs if there is clear seperation in the market(say .5 to 1 decimal odds) from 3rd fav to 4th fav. So, Backing(or dutching as is the case with this automation) if there are 3 clear favourites. Cheers
Yes, the best way to do it would be to add a 'Set/Modify Signal rule' (armed to trigger once just before the dutch bets are to be placed) applied to the 3rd favHastiegringo wrote: ↑Mon Nov 17, 2025 4:49 pmThanks Dallas, been looking for something like this.

Then on the 'Signal Tab' set a signal on the market (with any name of your choice
Next add a 'Relative Odds Condition' to test the back price of selection is less than back price of 4th fab minus (how ever many odds gap you want to use)

You might also want to add a fixed odds condition ie, if you want to test the front three are all below 'X' price
https://www.betangel.com/user-guide/fixed_odds.html
Finally on the dutch rules add a 'Signal Set' condition to test the Signal named (whatever you called it) for the market is set with a value
So basically the signal rule checks your pricing condition/s and sets a signal if true, then the dutch bets look for that signal to be set before being able to trigger

Just think of signals as pigeonholes. When you know a value now and know you'll need it again later, then put a label on an empty draw (signal name) and then put your value in it (set the signal value). The next time you need the value then refer to it by (signal) name and the the value will be used.Hastiegringo wrote: ↑Mon Nov 17, 2025 8:49 pmGreat, thanks very much...signals still confused the heck out of me!

Or.... Think of it as a named Excel cell you temporarily save your number in.
