Nice to see the strategies doing well. Laying is the way forward. It's what the bookies do.

Totally agree mate, ever since I read about favourites in general only winning about 30% of the time I became a LAY convert. As you say, clearly been working well for the bookies long enough!

Stonking day yesterday. All the lays did well. No lost races.
Lay Beaten Fav - 2 points
Low Lays - 5 points
Pace Lays - 6 points

All have slight modifications from stock and though its very early days all appear to be better for it.

@john-folan I've gone for fifteen mins so that it's up and going for the ten min before post bets

Yep my earliest goes in 11 minutes out(pace backs) so mine does 12. I don’t have a large amount of football clogging mine up

Hopefully sorted now - the bot will only monitor the markets that are loaded via the tips and not the 1,000,000 other markets I had loaded in the background

Also restrict it in monitoring settings to start just before a race/match depending when you place your bets. That will really help

@daniel-mills Yep think I have it set at 300ms from memory

@david-milligan did you go into the settings to change the market refresh rate? John posted a how to a few posts down.

Seems to have made the difference for me and I have a lot of markets open

@john-folan Only one bet for me - you running the strategy as is or have you made some alterations?

Having said that, the other lay strategies had a few picks which all won too!

Weird. I had 5/5. Should be the same bot posted

5/5 for me too. Happy days

@adam thanks Adam, I was being stupid and hadn't refreshed the software so hadn't seen the new rules..

Angus Macleod

@John-Folan Just tried that again and hey presto it works this time! Not sure why it didn't before but it seems fine now, thanks

Alright folks if I can just briefly steal your attention from the mountains of profit you're all making and ask, is the software working fine for you guys?

I've tried closing down the browser, refreshing it, logging in and out of VPN, making sure cookies aren't blocked but she (the software) doesn't seem to want to play ball

I had this earlier. Just cleared history, cookies etc and it was fine after. Worked for me earlier.

@Adam or any other horse software experts
Hi, I'm trying to work out how I can select a Favourite to Lay but only if the 2nd Favourite price is say lower than 5. I am ok with my favourite selection. I can see there's BSP Rank so I'll select if 2 (for the 2nd fav) but how do I then link a rule regarding the 2nd favourite's price? I assume I need a rule group?

There's a "2nd Favourite Price" rule, so just add that with a value < 5.

@andy-donnelly funny I had the exact same train of thoughts as you today I'm going to use Maria staking on pace lays and Lay BF - makes so much more sense to me. With fixed liability we are wagering much less on the very horses that are most likely to lose!

Just in case you do go down the automation route BFBM has an inbuilt Maria staking option
