    I am wondering if theres something we can do with the pace and the Racing Post Naps table.

    It used to be total gold, any -25 were worth a lay, this back in the day was one of the criteria for my lays.

    I bet there is.

    Sorry, got another one.
    In the filter 'Classifications' is a simple select and not a multi-select. Any reason why its like this? seems like the sort of thing a multi-select is more suited for.

    The reason is that the race classifications all appear in one big string, which we then have to parse and do a load of partial text matching. It results in a ton of false positives to do "any of this list in any of that list".

    The upside about the way it's done now is that you can group them and apply different operators, e.g. "look for novice chases, but not grade 1 ones".

    Just a suggestion but for the bet placement and stake, on the lay side is there any way we could have a 'stake as liability' option? Its pretty much standard on all the trading tools i have seen so makes sense to add it.

    yeah this is actually a good point @Adam any way to enable a click away from the text to work how it usually would on other things?

    @greg-mitchell said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

    Not sure I've put this in the right place, but after some help with the Horse Racing Software, I am having trouble renaming my Strategies, I create a new one, it gives it the default name, I rename it to whatever, but it still displays the default name it gave me originally, but if I then click on it to edit the name, it shows the new name that I gave it?

    Hope that makes sense!

    After I rename a strategy I just press enter and it renames it correctly? Have you submitted a support ticket to @Adam ?

    Ah I can answer that. There’s a workaround at the moment. You need to set up a separate group for classifications and add an individual rule for each one you want to exclude or include(you can have multiple instances of the same rule). It’s a bit of a pain but it locked up the server on multi selections. I’ve got it running on one of mine and it’s fine like that.

    @jonathan-jones We do know the BSP Favourite, 2nd Fav, 3rd Fav, as soon as the horses are off. The way to make use of those stats in the real world is to place bets between 2s to 4s after the off, which is how I handle it. You need software to do that, such as Bet Angel, BF Bot Manager, etc. Prices will not always match BSP, but they average out over the long-term.

    @adam said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

    The way we're going to tackle that is by capturing the price rank every time we write a runner price entry.

    That will mean we can later query the fave, 2nd fave etc at any point in time!

    Great. Any idea on timescale for this one?
