I would like to request a trigger please (if I am eligible for assistance).
I want to eliminate all runners whose price is greater than runner_number+1.
That will leave a number of qualifiers.
I then want to eliminate all runners whose price is less than the remaining number of qualifiers+1.
This should leave from 1 to 4 horses.
If there are more than 4 horses left, no bet.
If 1 of the remaining horses is the favourite, no bet.
I then back the horses left. I haven't decided how I will back these (dutch book or level stakes).
Example:
Number of runners is 12.
Eliminate all runners whose price is greater than $13.00.
This might leave 6 qualifiers.
Eliminate all runners whose price is less than $7.00.
This might leave 3 horses.
All to be backed, provided that:
If more than 4 left, no bet.
If one of these horses is favourite, no bet.
Thanks in advance,
bobh
