I'm trying to have a strategy that will back the 7 highest priced horses from the ones I select in specific races (I actually select them all).

The strategy I have seems to pick the lowest 7 in range, not the highest.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Most likely back/lay ratio of 15% is not satisfied for those high priced selection. Also they might not have any Lay price available so ratio would not be satisfied.

In this case you should probably remove back/lay ratio and then try again in simulation mode.

You can also remove "Bet on my selections" rule and instead use "Default bet type" if you wish to bet on any 7 selections with highest price. That way you will not need to pick selections manually.

Make sure you use simulation mode to test it without risking any real money.

Thanks for the suggestions. I wasn't at the bot when the strategy was running but I did think the 15% back/lay ratio may have been the cause.

I need to pick the bets manually as the actual race selection criteria is not something that the bot can do automagically.

Ironically, the mistake resulted in a winner today, so I may run 2 tests!
