I see how track and grade can make a difference, but how does distance affect profitability? Or are you breaking that down just for the sake of your own curiosity.

I'm not looking for a huge explanation as I don't do dogs, but just wondered.

I think it's more down to the fact that distance data is provided in the Betting p&l file so easy to strip along with the grade and course more than anything , Shaun.

I keep meaning to learn VBA so I can write my own standalone bots but just never seem to get the time or inclination these days :(

13:49 Central Park, dunno if it went off early as I've now deleted my betting logs but a closing bet got caught suspended, went my way for a change though.

Perhaps the race went off on time and this is one of those closing bets at "current market price" that doesn't get matched because odds move too quickly.

How often does your bot attempt to "Green All Selections" or "Close Trade On Selection"?

My bot logs the betID and it was logged as event suspended from the API response so I guess it was playing a bit too close to the off this time. Win some lose some I suppose, plays around 4,000 markets a month so eventually it all evens out but stilla shock to see a win or loss 500 times the usual :)
