Hi ,if someone could help me i wat to place a single lay bet for the in play races for the first horse to go under a certain odds.For the moment i selected automation and i tick ALL LAY so it places the bet but for no reason if other horses drop under the odds i have selected it puts another lay bet on whatever the horse.I want to place just a single ley bet for the first horse and then to stay off and wait for the result.Please help help help.

Hi Jackie

I looked at this a while ago, only way I could see in the Automation tab is to either click the Clear All button or unclick the Lay All checkbox after the first horse is matched. Only a manual solution and if 2 or more horses are contesting the lead then no promise only the one is going to get matched.

It may be possible using excel to do what you are asking but I did not find the strategy profitable anyway so never persued it.
