I know there are ditching bots already in place in the forum but is it possible to create a bot where I can specify the number of selections I want to dutch irregardless of how many there are?
Say there are different numbers of runners in horse races.
For example race 1 has 8 runners and race 2 has 6 and I want to dutch 5 in the first race and 4 in the second.
I could do it manually but I can't always be at my computer as I've lost my job because of Covid so I'm busy job hunting at the moment
Is it possible to set the number of runners as a percentage - 50% of the field , 45% of the field ?
Of course book percentage will be a factor so can the be set as well ?
Easy bit will be setting up a greening rule
Could be too complicated to set up but does anyone have any suggestions ?

If you're content with the book% bet style dutch and you are including selections based on conditions you've decided a selection must fit to be included then using the by book% stake option is by far the most straightforward method.

PS greening multiple selections especially unattended can leave you much more in the red than you ever intended.

Hi Jukebox: interesting comment. Why is this?

I'm assuming a preplay market, and I thought BA calculated everything so that it only needed to place one or 2 bets to get the net desired outcome (i.e. it doesnt green up every selection individually, and so you aren't paying slippage on every selection)
