Triggers file read not producing qualified bet
« on: 02 Oct 2015, 11:19 »
Hi,

I just setup a trigger for Greyhounds, and I am using minimum odds, maximum odds, and I want to make sure it doesn't bet on traps 1 and 2, and as there is no criteria choice to allow only dogs whose trap number > 2, I decided to use a file. In the trigger, I use the expression

.
.
.
and Selection's Name is not in file c:\selections\dogs.txt

and the content of dogs.txt  is as follows

1
2

seems simple enough, but I just checked my log and it placed a bet on trap 2

Do I need to put this condition in a different way?

Thanks.

Hi,

I think trap numbers are always equal to the runners index number.

So just try the condition

and selections index number is greater than 2.

Also make sure in your General Settings the Index number displayed box is ticked

Try it on test mode first just to confirm

Hi,

thanks for the response Larp. I could not find runners index number or any way of checking something against that value, so I decided to add in 2 conditions instead, selections name is not is not equal to 2 AND selections name is not equal to 1, and this seems to have worked.
