Using the Bookmaking option in Practice mode and have built a semi-automated set of rules etc. Fine tuning and working well on today’s races with the exception of 2 races where , after multiple submission to create books , there were late withdrawals , one about 5 mins before the off , the second probably a minute only.
I do not have a prepared strategy to offset this type of situation and unsure what I should do when this occurs (manual or automated) , does anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks
BookMaking - late non runners/withdrawals
Be very careful Charlie. If you have it automated it's possible to turn your money over lots and lots of times. A withdrawn horse can leave you in a whole world of pain.

Thanks Euler & Mugsgame for the replies (& link) , suspected as much to be honest.
Will persevere in PRACTICE and see how many times effected over a period of time

Good to hear , do you have any mechanism to cope with late withdrawals , I tend (time allowing) to move the liabilty off to the less fancied runners , but of course it only takes one of them to come in and wipe me out , easier to bear in PRACTICE but obviously in LIVE would not be a good strategy .
