Race Time Condition

[gstar1975]

Is there a way to set a limit in the conditions of the rules file so prevent me from placing a bet after a certain % of the race has been run say 75%.

It would be nice to have that in the conditions options. % of race condition must be less than 75%.

Or is there a work around?

The option is there already

An example using your own standard race times

An example using TPD's GPS data for real-time positioning

Just to be clear. I want to press a button on the one click screen to place a lay bet but have a condition that stops a bet being placed if 75% of the race has been run.

I don't understand how I can implement what you have suggested using the race time xls file.

To use any condition the bet will need to be placed via a servant (or automation) rule

So you configure a servant to place a back or lay bet when started and use the race distance condition shown in the examples above,
If that's not satisfied when you start the servant it won't be able to place the bet for you

So do I have to have a rule for each distance for each race track? and then work out what 75% of that time is and then enter that in the Arm trigger until time. Thats quite a few rules to enter, about 1000 lines of rules to enter to be precise. Am I correct?

If you have a TPD subscription you can use the GPS positions to know how much of the race has been covered

Without a GPS condition you'll have to give it the approx time of each race distance it will then check the distance of the current race and trigger a rule when 75% of the estimated time has elapsed

I dont want to trigger a rule at 75% I want to stop a rule from triggering at 75% of race distance. I want to be able to place bets before that amount of race distance has been run and not after.

Also the formula for the "Seconds" column doesn't seem to be working in this spreadsheet.

It just needs setting to <75%

Its working fine for me, it could be a formatting issue with your excel

Actually just remembered there's this file which was created after the first one I linked to above and after some more options were added
You can use these two files, one of which has all the race times already put into rules and the other looks up those time
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=24368

Or you can just copy the 'back bet' rule from the 'Scalp the fav in first 25% of the race' into the 'Standard Times' file
Then edit that back rule to use Servant context and stake etc and change the race percentage it can trigger in
