Placing Bets - Part 1
Now we have gone through our systems and made sure we are happy with the settings we are ready to turn them on. Each system is turn on individually. In the screenshot below we have reset every series and turned on all systems. We are using default settings for all systems with test stakes enabled. (It is advisable to use test stakes until you are absolutely happy with HRP Bot and Gruss).
All bets are due to be placed 30 seconds before the off. In the screenshot below all bets have been placed. The record of Today's Bets shows the ACTUAL stakes placed. As we are using test mode for all systems all stakes were 10p. The Quads target was 10p.
No other bets can be placed for a particular system if we are awaiting the result. When a bet is placed, the Next Stake is shown as Pending Result as highlighted below.
The result is obtained directly from your Betfair statement through Gruss. Outstanding results are checked every 20 seconds. The result is normally obtained a few minutes after the race has finished. Place Markets and Extra Place markets often take a lot longer to be settled than the Win Markets.
If we view each series we can see what the stakes would of been had Test Stakes been turned off.
Quads - 1st Bet of Quad Number 1 lost.
Fav Placer - Bet won in the Place Market (Note - Fav Placer has since been replaced with HRP Members)
Dutch Platinum - Single Bet Placed as odds were less than 2.1. Bet Lost
Top Rated - Single Bet Placed as odds were less than 1.9
Once the results are in the Record of Today's Bets is updated with the actual odds and result.
You can also view the bets in the Historical Bet Ledger accessed from the main screen.
