Hi. I want to set up an automation when I am out an cannot get to the computer. What I would like to do do is lay my selected horse just as it goes in play providing the lay odds are 6 or higher. Can anyone help please?

Hi.

I think you'll find that there is a video on You Tube by P W that shows how to set up such an automation. Personally, I wouldn't do such a thing and leave it running. I assume you're trying to catch the horse going on to lose?

From my (limited I grant you) experience of trading sure-fire losers, too many of them go on to win. A large lay bet going wrong can lose you a lot of money!

Hope this helps?

I agree with bennyboy. You may get few trades into profit but later two or more losses will occur and you will see how your lay liability consume your profits + bank as well.

The first thing that occurs to me is that if you have selcted a likely loser, why would you want to lay it higher than 6's? Surely you'd be even happier laying it at 1.5 ?
