Right Guys.
After about 16 emails to and fro between myself and BA support, I'm seeking help on here.
The fact that I can't do screenshots doesn't help as support have to guess what I've done. I've had the original video from Peter running alongside as reference but I've hit a stumbling block.
The bot does not let me add extra runners. The bot does not work very well with only row 1 (the favourite generally). When I create a new rule for row2,3 etc and apply, it still shows as row 1, when added. I'm well aware this is probably something stupid on my part. I'm in the process of getting someone round to show me how to do screen shots. Could someone who knows their stuff on automation please post a step by step guide on how to add extra runners to this bot. Bearing in mind I'm not that gifted with stuff like this.
Another option would be for someone to actually come and show me what I'm doing wrong. I live in West Reading and would happily pay someone a hundred pounds in cash for their time, if they could sort this for me. Despite only being some twenty miles from me BA support declined my offer.

To start with set the rule up exactly as peter has done in the video and once finished go back to the first page (General Tab)

Click on the rule "Place a back bet" (so its highlighted blue)

Click on the icon of two green arrows as shown in the top image
this duplicates every part of the whole rule.

Now change the new rule name to something like "Place Back Bet Row 2" just so you dont get muddled up

Then

Click on the "Applies to Selection" and change this to "By Row Index" (Betfair Order) 2

Then just click Apply & Save........

Now repeat that again if you want to include a 3rd row and 4th row etc.

(there is no need to duplicate any of the green up part)

Thanks for your help Dallas. Sounds straightforward enough. Would you be good enough to keep an eye on this thread for me, so I can pick your brains?
I'll try and sort this out Sunday morning when it's quiet.

Hi Dallas.
Followed your instructions but cannot find "Apply to selection" anywhere.
That was after changing the rule name to place back bet row 2.
Sorry mate, more help required.

Its on the bottom of the first page where you re-named your rule and just below where the times etc are put (on the image above the mouse cursor is pointing right on it)

Hi Dallas. I've retraced my steps and for some reason it (Apply to selection) just does not appear.
I don't want to drag you into this I'm sure you are busy enough.
I've actually managed to send Support a screenshot so I'm sure a solution will be found.
Have you (or anybody else) used this bot for Gambling on Traded Horses? It looks like a good way to nick a few quid pre race.
Thanks for your input.

Used under the correct conditions and at the right times etc yes they can be profitable, These bots are just a starting block to give the users (new and old) some idea's which they can then develop them into there own strategies and/or apply to there personal choice of races etc

New bots are being added regularly to the automation library

When 'Apply to Selection' doesn't appear it due to the use of Large Fonts on Windows.
You need to be user Normal fonts (96dpi) and then everything will be displayed as intended.

Windows 10 does Font scaling properly, but for all other versions of Windows, you must use Normal fonts. If you let us know which version of Windows you are using then we can probably find a guide explaining how to change your font size.

My setting is just about that, 100%.

Finally got this sorted. It was a font issue. I just played around with the settings.
Thanks for your help Dallas and Support.
