@martin-dodd Yeah was looking at BF Botmanager but thought there were more or better instructional videos for Betangel... That said I really feel Fairbot will do everything I need it to could do with knowing if you can set "Keep" when setting up these "Lay All" bets @Ryan-Carruthers ?

@martin-dodd What bot are you using? I currently have Fairbot & Betangel

I'm running this on BF Botmanager.
I do also have BetAngel but I find automation easier on BFBM. I got BetAngel to start learning to scalp as that seems a better interface for that...but the current situation has rather limited my opportunity to practice.

@martin-dodd like this, the right way to go not discounting any data yet

I bet you could!

I was wondering if we could use Betfair's SP data to quickly build up a historic data set.
https://promo.betfair.com/betfairsp/prices

We could get race type, number of runners, BSP values and in-play min values

I'm working today so can't look at it until this evening at the earliest but might be useful?

So my bot ran overnight. I accidentally ran it with the wrong settings (i'd been tinkering before bed!)...basically it triggered on any race within 1200-1850m and with 9+ runners.
Luckily i ended in profit! (real money 10p bets)

Summary table below if it's of interest.

Had I tightened it up to only select races with Fav BSP > 4 then the results would have been better and since doing that this morning the results have improved...with 2x4 matches, 1 x 3 matches, 2x2 matches and 2x1match

Currently, I'm not restricting on race type but will consider it after getting more data

PS. Start times are out by an hour for some reason

@alan-steward yep they are next for recording for me

[A Former User]

From what I can see the next 2 qualifiers are 10:10 at Cran & 10:35 at Pinj?

Will look more into Wagga

@alan-steward is there a video stream? recorded two races from their on spreadsheet

Not sure mate can check with the next race... Video to check Harness?

[A Former User]

is Pinj without harness... Running in simulation mode now - 2 matched

[Martin]

@alan-steward yeah they both hit 1.01!

[A Former User]

Am running simulation mode at the mo and just had 2 matched in the 09:18 at Toow

[Martin]

A 1.01 buster in the last! Wish we layed at those odds

[A Former User]

The meeting at Wagga has race lengths of 1740mtrs do I presume this to be Harness... Or is it ideal sprint racing?

[Martin]

Idea for a spreadsheet to have some hard data, something like this:

@james-everard Seems kinda pointless haha! Can a horse even reach top speed within 2 furlongs haha?

These are quarter horses not thoroughbreds. Like comparing Usain Bolt to Mo Farah.

[james everard]

@richard-latimer Found from the few races i have watched one of the favourites normally wins probably as their speeds are known and less chance of an upset in a shorter race
