Thank you James.
Can you recommend a VPS? To be used on my desktop and laptop?

Sorry I don't use VPS. I'm old school and run my automations on mini PCs at home, and access them through Chrome Remote Desktop. viewtopic.php?t=30184

That's interesting James ... I've just picked up some old laptops quite cheaply at a local auction (Win 10) and have been wondering how to use them thinking I could run BA on each but I don't want to have to give up desktop space to access them ... never thought of remote desktopping them! Great idea.jamesedwards wrote: ↑Wed Aug 20, 2025 5:41 pmSorry I don't use VPS.

Hi all,
have another question for the group. I have a system where I select horse/s for a lay. This takes place early in the morning, usually before 9am. One of the rules stipulates that there should be 6 or more runners. When doing the selection earlier this morning, Goodwood 2:23 had 6 runners. Between 9:00 and when I checked the results after work, I noticed that an additional three runners had been scratched. The last minute before the start time is when my system places bets. Can you tell me how to add a rule that voids all bets if there are 5 or fewer runners up 1 minute before the start time? Obviously, bets placed within the last minute cannot be void. I require a rule that can be applied up until 1 minute before the off. Thank you.

Add a condition to your bet trigger that checks the number of selections is greater than 5. This won't work for any late withdrawals if Betfair fail to remove them until after the race.reebed1 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 02, 2025 4:49 pmHi all,

I think the easiest way is to add a runner count condition that's checked continuously until one minute before the scheduled start. If the number of active runners drops below six at any point before that cutoff, the automation should cancel any unmatched bets and prevent new ones from being placed. Since your bets are only submitted in the final minute, the rule should simply stop the trigger from firing if there are five or fewer runners at the one-minute check like https://www.pokerlistings.com/live-casi ... crazy-time . The exact setup depends on which software you're using (Bet Angel, Bf Bot Manager, other software, etc.), but most of them have a condition based on the current number of active runners. Which software are you using?reebed1 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 02, 2025 4:49 pmHi all,
