Automated Betting Help

[Millbolt]

Hi I am a newbie so please excuse me . I recently tried to get GTPCHAT to write a python script to place bets on UK Greyhounds. I has an excel input sheet with the following colums

Track Date Time Grade Distance Trap Dog Name F Time BetType Stake
Sunderland 08/09/2025 14:48 A1 450m 6 EMERS BEAN 4.682 BACK £1.00
Sunderland 08/09/2025 14:48 A1 450m 2 BILLY BLUE SHOES 5.028 LAY £1.00
etc etc

The rule was to trigger the bet 1 min before off time and BAck is odds > 2.5 and LAy if odds <2.5

The script appeared to work and ignored races that has been run but when it came to the 1 minute mark it didnt place any bets saying market could not be found.

Does any kind person know a script or somewhere I can be directed to get this to work.

MAny thanks in anticipation

Have you considered using Betting Assistant to do it for you instead of Python?

BA integrates well with excel and there are example sheets here viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3557 where you can simply enter the selections.

If you need to go down the solely python route you'd be better off having python download the race markets from Betfair to get the correct eventID's so everything would match up exactly for each market.
