It's really simple, it's just gap filling at the moment.
I seem to remember Dallas created a bot to do that. My bot needs simplifying It currently has 30 rules and over 100 conditions, mainly due to the fact it creates a replica of the market and movements.

I haven't spent enough time on trends just yet, got loads of data and can see through some of it. But it will probably be a project for the winter for me as I'm so busy during the summer.

Ye that's fair enough. Have you got automation running to store the data for every Greyhound market each day?

Allows you to build your own VBA/Macros to analyse the data before placing trades.

I suspect a good approach could be to wait to see a dog with at least £1,000 matched between odds of say 2 and 4 with a two tick gap between the current back/lay price and then fill it. It could be that in a REAL mode market both would get matched securing a quick profit and then repeat down to 40 seconds or so before the scheduled start time. Don't think it would work in a TEST mode environment for obvious reasons.

Ye it's not the worst method. Trouble is a lot of other people will be trying to make market as well.

potentially, offer out beyond the gap; offset inside the margin... just a thought.

Wouldn't that mean you would need a rough idea of which way the odds are going ?

tbh - from my (limited) experience, the best returns have come from initial bets placed outside the spread with offsets contained inside the spread. as i said, LIMITED!!
