Selecting 6 Horses

[smgreyuk]

Hi there,

I would like to select 6 horses (as nominated) to enter into a dutch, but I see that I can only select up to 5 nominated selections.

What would be a good work around to get the 6th horse recognised in the Dutch?

Something is telling me to use a CSV file to store the horse name to an SV, the problem I have with that is the naming of the Stored Value for each 6th horse if I am going to be doing this for a dynamic number of races each day. Maybe a Count SV that tallys off when a race is complete then the count is used in conjuction with the condition names of the SVs from the CSV file? It could get messy I suppose ...

I am then thinking could it be done over 2 open instances of Bet Angel, with 3 nominated horses in one instance and 3 in another and shared Stored Values between the two (if possible) to calculate the dutching?

I am currently trying to see if anyone else has asked this question but I am not seeing anything.

Has anyone got any ideas?

I may well not be privy to something that would make this much simpler than my ideas

One option that might work is to create something using the one-click screen and 'servant context selection' to individually mark the horses you want included on each race separately.

Using a CSV file to store a value at selection level for your chosen runners should work.

I do something similar - this is an example of a CSV I use, which gives a stored value named 'Qualifier' a value of '1' for my chosen runners.

You can then apply whatever rules you use to place your bets to EVERY runner, with a condition that they have a value of '1' for your stored value.
