Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has a solid way of making sure the 'Box' the Bot is trading in is the correct 'Box' when there is reduced fields in Australian Greyhound Racing.

ie: If I back 'Position 2' and 'Position 8' (Box/Trap 2 & 8) but the below field is made up of below:

Box 1: Scratched
Box 2: Running (now BF position 1)
Box 3: Running (now BF position 2)
Box 4; Running (Now BF position 3)
Box 5: Vacant Box
Box 6: Scratched
Box 7: Running (Now BF position 4)
Box 8: Running (Now BF position 5)

On Betfair, using position 2 & 8 (hoping to back the Dogs in Boxes 2 & 8), the Bot will now be backing Box 3 for Position 2, and no bet for Box 8 as it is now Position 5.

I think in the Gallops the 'Saddlecloth' setting fixes this issue when there is scratched runners but dont think this applies to the Greyhounds.

Is there a way we can back the actual Dogs Number/Box so that is locked in and not affected by reduced fields or scratchings,

hope that all made sense!

thanks
