HI ALL

Im coming over from matched betting so this aspect (bet angel )is all new to me,

ive been manually laying horses at 100/1@ $2 to profit $2, pre race.

Done this on average 100 to 125 times untill i hit the speed bump .

THINKING.
i can improve this by going automated in play leaving it close to the finish as possible so the horse has run its race and on the way out,

i can manually select the runner or have guardian do it for me (which evers more effective)

could one of you fine chaps show me how to set this up (idiot proof) as im struggling with the setup and rules etc ,

ALSO,
Ive been using the ladder to Lay a horse pre race @ say 5 and then putting my back bet in @ 15 in play thing is im always breaking even i can see the green profit under the horse and 00,00 in green by the others

im set to offset to greening , im obviously way off the mark or missing something here
been playing with 10c stakes with this , maybe its bf commision thats making me break even

again direction needed chaps
regards rob

Your lay bet rule just needs a 'Fixed Odds Condition' adding to it, to test the price is 'greater than'

If you've never created an automation rule the steps on how to make one and apply it to the days markets are set out here
