Each Way Betting

[bgt2002]

Is it possible to do a bet for a "PLACE" using excel? If so how. Thanks.

My last post was not that clear so to clarify ...

Can you place a "win" bet and a "place" be on the same horse in the same race? I assume you can, but how would you do it?
... Thanks.

I have worked it out - all good now. Thanks.

Hi,

You need to link the Win and Place markets to separate sheets like in the following video:-

You would need to cross-reference the sheets by horse name and then for example could set a trigger on the Place market to fire in a bet when a corresponding bet is triggered on the Win market.

Mark

Excellent, thanks very much!

Very quick question on this: if it's all set up as per the video and auto market select is activated I assume both pages on Gruss are swapped to the next race right? Or is there a way I need to synchronise them?

Also as a very (very!) basic Trigger to add an additional bet in the Place market if the odds are high does this make sense?

Code: Select all

=IF(A5="","",IF(AND(Win!F5>=40,Win!Q5="BACK-IP"),"BACK-IP",""))

Should simply be a case of:

If the runner's current Back odds (cell F5 in the Win worksheet) are 40.00 or higher AND if the Win worksheet's Trigger is "BACK-IP" then fire a bet into the Place market with the odds and stake in the columns next to the Trigger column.
