  • Hi Friends,

    Please can someone guide me to the following method:

    I need to dutch 3 horses per race in various carefully selected races throughout the day.

    I am looking (correct me if I am wrong) to have an excel spreadsheet with 5 columns to identify Race venue, time, index1 index2, index3. (A row per race)

    I have chosen index number rather than horse name to make things easier.

    How can I incorporate this into a trigger so at the appropriate time it will find the correct race from spreadsheet to dutch the three horses?

    An guidance will be very much appreciated
    Many thank in advance

  • Hi misticmerlin,

    Yes, you can do it with Excel, but I see no reason why you can't do it with a simple text file with your selections. Yes, you would have to specify names instead of indexes, but beware that BetFair may change the order of horses in a race at any time, so this would be inefficient anyway.

    You just create a text file, add all your horses there, press the "Import selections for auto-trading" button and specify the file path.

    The program will then disable all selections except the ones you've added.

    Then add a Dutch back trigger with a desired amount to win, and the job is done.

  • Many thanks for your reply Oxa, I'll give it a go.

    The reason I though I could rely on Index is due to I'm more likely to get the names wrong than entering a digit or two.

    Thanks again
