@andy-lucy everyone is different. I personally use Fairbot but that could be because it’s the first one I used.

Each of them do a free trial so you could use them all. Put them in simulation mode and just mess about

John Folan

I shall be laying the favourites in these races 10 seconds before the start time subject to the following conditions:

Number of Runners 4-14.
Odds Between 1.8-2.4.
DSLR: 3-200.

@dan-mackinnon
Thanks Dan. Is there any one u guys recommend over others?

Nick Allan

@chris-osborne yeah i agree with dan its more getting to the venue thats the issue, its like school closures.............in a lot of situations the school is fine its getting there thats perilous

and we have more snow this weekend

Dan MacKinnon

@chris-osborne I imagine it's more the issue of getting there. I remember going to Everton away and it got cancelled due to bad weather an hour before KO because of the safety of fans going to the ground. I was at Crewe when we had to turn around. I got on a coach at Selhurst Park and 12 hours later, finally got off the coach...at Selhurst Park

With the volume of all weather meetings being postponed this week which defeats the object, surely there not fit for purpose.

Dan MacKinnon

@andy-lucy I was afraid of using bots but like anything once you get the hang of 1 or 2 it's quite simple.

Whether you choose Fairbot, BFBM or BA there's enough people on here to support

Andy Lucy

Great thanks. I am gonna use my time over Xmas to get my head round these bots so I can automate as much of horses and footie as I can before the new year. Gotta be way forward. I may be a pain and ask to pick ur brains if I get stuck with it all .

@john-folan
hi John just starting to follow u with these. I see the first race is delayed. Are u laying these favourites before the scheduled start time or watching pics and laying just before they actually start?
Thanks for your help andy

I’ve got it set up in a bot so it places the lays 10 seconds out as Lee said. It’s the most efficient way to do it

@andy-lucy 10 seconds before the official start time Andy.

@john-folan hi John
If the dSLR is missing on the BTC race card should I not bet on that horse. Thanks

Usually means it’s never run so if that’s the case yes

Hi, Sorry to have to ask this as I’m probably missing something simple, but the strategy below and selections are posted in the daily email.

I’d like to download it to follow/track it myself but can’t find the download anywhere.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

‘Back The Course & Distance Winner - Let the bet run
Rules: Back at odds 2.0-6.99, enter 10 mins before the official start time’.

John Folan

Dundalk now off because of limited visibility. Testing few days I think. Good think about racing is it’s generally every day apart from 2/3 days a year so there will be plenty more.

Wolves currently still on though for short odds purposes.

Nothing today. The only two courses currently running are on the no fly zone list

Other than races getting abandoned, does snow impact trades? Just thinking because you said the hot weather was likely the cause of some odd results

Normally if it’s bad they cancel stuff. Probably be a bit careful.
