Build a rule you understand.
Learn the setup, explore worked examples, and try the current controls before opening the rule editor.
First rule
From selection to schedule
Rules check the events and runners you select against your conditions and timing. Start with the scope, then decide which order to place and when to stop.
Select the runner
Choose an event type, competition, and runner. For racing, select country and venue, then a meeting if required. Choose Any explicitly when you want a broader selection.
Add conditions
Use Playing at, Favourite, track distance, or market conditions to narrow when the rule applies. These settings are always visible; there is no need to expand a panel.
Choose the order
Under Bet on this market, select the market and Back or Lay. Some markets also require a selection such as Over/Under and a goals line. Review market, limit, or BSP odds where available.
Set the amount and timing
Choose the amount type and enter the value. Set a time before or after the scheduled start, or a set time each day. Review the timezone shown by the editor.
Review limits and create
Check unmatched bet settings, stop conditions, and runner limits. Click Create. Missing or invalid settings are highlighted beside their controls, and the editor scrolls to the first error.
Worked examples
Start with a situation
Illustrative settings to explain the controls. Choose an example to inspect it below.
Football
A football team playing at home
Select one team and apply a home-only condition.
Greyhound racing
The favourite in greyhound races
Use Any Runner with a favourite filter rather than choosing a named greyhound.
Horse racing
A horse within an odds range
Add an odds condition so the rule checks a range before placing an order.
Football
A football total-goals market
Choose a goals market and its selection, rather than a match winner.
Horse racing
Filter races by track distance
Restrict the races considered by a rule using a distance range.
Rule controls
Stop after a set number of bets
Add a stop condition to an otherwise complete rule.
Order settings
Choose what happens to unmatched bets

Know the controls
What each section does
- Select runner
- Defines which events and runners the rule considers. Named selections narrow the scope; Any options broaden it.
- Market conditions
- Checks the conditions that must be met before the rule acts, such as an odds range.
- Bet on this market
- Defines the market, selection, Back or Lay, and the requested order price. This can differ from the market used in a condition.
- Bet amount
- Controls the amount calculation. Fixed uses a set value; variable options calculate an amount using the selected method. Read the amount label before entering a value.
- Timing and schedule
- Determines when the rule checks its conditions. Review before/after scheduled start and the timezone for a daily time.
- Unmatched bets
- Controls handling of orders that remain unmatched when the event goes In-Play, where the market supports it.
- Stop conditions and runner limits
- Limits when a rule continues running and how many bets it can place per runner. Review both for recurring rules.
