If possible I want to automatically have bet placed at a certain level once a horse reaches specific odds after a certain time being in play
So if a race had say 10 runners and the race was going to take 2 minutes.
I want to lay a bet after being in play for 1.45 minutes subject to the odds being at say 1.1 or lower. The bet is not specific to any particular horse. The parameter is that if a horse meets the criteria for the bet to be placed.
Is this possible?

Easy to automate but impossible to profit from... sadly

If you really want to do it, do it in practice mode first and you'll see why this approach will fail. The bookie has seen you coming and will make sure that every tenth race at least your "sure fire" winner on 1.1 loses.

But if you insist, set a Guardian automation file with conditions

In play +100 seconds
Selection = LTP under 1.1
Place back bet at 100 (or whatever)

good luck

Thanks for the reply, I will need to get it our of my system and try it in practice mode.
I tried putting some figures into guardian but I don't this they were correct as nothing registered.
I will input using you information but I may need to come back to you if thats ok as I am not familiar with some of the terminology

Happy to bounce stuff around if it helps. Ping over an automation file if you want and I can tweak it.

They do say, you know, backing short favourites is the slowest way to lose your bank. I can confirm :lol:
