Automatic bets

[V8mate]

Does anyone know of an online gambling provider with whom I can enter a list of horse's names and it will place a bet automatically for me, whenever they run during the season?

That's crazy. Wouldn't you want to check the odds are fine first vs form? Also, the odds change pre-race so you'd want to get the best odds, surely?

I'd assume that you could choose between odds as the race is listed and SP.

It's not crazy if you're lazy or want to consistently back a particular horse.

Jeez. I would want to see the graph before accepting a price. Look at how much movement there is on Betfair pre-race even for favourites.

OK - is there an easy way of being automatically notified each morning that a horse from a list is running that day?

[Hoofy]

Sorry, no idea.

Agree with Hoofy on the madness of auto betting but yes I have seen alert services that will tell you when selected horses are running.

This looks like one of them:

Is that what you're after?

That looks ideal; many thanks

Sweet, which horse? My mum has a knack of picking winners, but no matter how hard I ask I never get a text saying No4 in the 3:30 @ Chepstow.

Wrecks my head how often she gets it right.
