Can you set your conditions to kick in only at a certain time frame, ie 1 minute before the off? Something along those lines.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Youngbuck,
Conditional betting has to be price sensitive, not time sensitive.
There are a few drawbacks though, especially with this new charge for API calls.
You also need to have the program running and updating for it to work, and you need to have the market active on a page.
Effectively if you're doing 10 races, you need them all open on a page updating with the conditions set to trigger.
Very intensive and going to be costly stuff.
You need to have a distinct edge and be turning over enough money to negate the API charges and internet excess download charges.
I'm currently investigating alternatives to cut down costs, not alternatives to the program, but alternate ways to set it up.
