10 mins before a race (arbitrary time when there is decent liquidity)

have preselected a horse/horses to back/lay (i.e. input these at any time before the 10 minutes, could be one hour, could be five hours)

If backing, split the required bet into 10 tranches and get that requested at last matched price, one tick higher, 2 ticks higher, etc (up to 9 ticks higher)

If laying, the same, lay LMP and then the 9 ticks below for 1/10th of stake

All bets to be placed remotely and with "take SP" feature enabled if desired.

Or would this need a custom built app and should I therefore go on the find a developer thing or whatever.

TIA

Watch your computer screen and paper trade. Don't stake any money , just test your system to see if it works without software. Only after seeing if you have a system which gives a profit in the long run should you consider finding software to allow you to follow it.

Personally, I think you are setting to many parameters which are unlikely to be matched on any given event. All you need is a little patience to test it.

Thanks, not really what I am looking for. Essentially I have found a very low yield strategy which can support decent turnover, without the object being to make money, but to have a positive impact on PC status for my account.

It works ok at betfair SP but if the bet indicated is too large, it is crushing the SP since the SP system is still paper thin with not enough layers. Hence looking to get around this problem.

Anyone know about a solution?

Can't do it on the toy. I would ask on Gruss forums to see if that can be done on their.

Have a look at on Bfexplorer PRO and tools it offers for automated betting or trading, namely: Bot executor, Trade opportunity lookup, Execute my strategy on selections.

Have you tried GRUSS ?
it has an Excel interface which you might be able to get to do what you want.

If not, and if we could find some way of making it mutually beneficial, then I could probably ammend
my own API program to do it. Its already setup for automated betting on Dogs/Horse and would
just require some extra coding for your own selection and betting systems.

Could the horse selection process be automated or does it require human assessment ?
