Hello, first time poster and new to Bet Angel.

I am looking for some help in setting up automation rules.

I will select the markets and the horse from each race. I want to put on a back BSP bet and I would like to set up a rule that fires just before the race goes off if the following conditions are met

When bsp odds are between 1.5-2.5

Can anyone help please?

You won't know what the BSP odds will be until the race starts
so you can only one of two things (which you'll need to decide on before creating the automation rule)
1) Test the actual SP is within your price range after its gone in-running and place the bet then
2) Test the projected SP is going to be within your price range and place your bet as close as possible to the start

2) Test the projected SP is going to be within your price range and place your bet as close as possible to the start

1) That price may no longer be value once the race starts and adverse selection will screw you.
2) Projected SP only updates every 30s I think?

I'd suggest testing the mid price every second when it's close to, and after, the scheduled start. And place or cancel a TakeSp bet (obv place only if you don't already have one, ditto cancelling) depending on the test. When the race starts the SP is usually very close to the last mid, and averages almost exactly that over time. This way your bet is present or not at the start as the price moves in and out of your price range. This method also allows you to automatically vary your stake as the price moves too.

A very similar approach can be used to automatically maintain a hedge at SP bet if you know your current liability. Then you can trade right up to the off and not risk failing to get a hedge bet in if the flag drops.
