How can I set an alert for a runner when they rise above or fall a certain price?

The Price Watchlist feature lets you monitor odds movement across bookmakers for specific runners in any race. Instead of manually refreshing or checking multiple bookies, you can set up automated alerts and stay informed when prices change.

How to add a runner to your price watchlist

To add a runner:

  1. Navigate to any upcoming race.
  2. Choose a runner you want to monitor.
  3. Click the star icon next to the runner’s name.

This will open the Add to Price Watchlist pop-up for that specific runner and track.

Configure bookmakers

In the Bookmaker field:

  • Click the dropdown menu.
  • Use the deselect all shortcut if needed.
  • Select the bookmakers you want to track.
  • You can also type to search for specific bookmakers.

Set your trigger price

In the Trigger Price dropdown, you have two options:

  • Any Price: You will be notified of any change on the current price
  • Enter Price:  Set a specific odds value as your benchmark

Set your trigger

In the Trigger dropdown, choose:

  • Less Than – notified if odds drop below your trigger price
  • Greater Than – notified if odds rise above your trigger price
  • Greater Than or Less Than – notified if odds move either side of your trigger

Once configured, click Add to Price Watchlist to save your selection.

 

Manage price watchlist

To manage your existing watchlist:

  1. Go to any race.
  2. Click Price Watchlist in the race navigation menu.
  3. Select My Watchlist.

From here, you can:

  • View all your tracked runners.
  • Navigate directly to the associated race.
  • Remove any entries you no longer want to monitor.

Alert settings

Price alerts can be delivered in two ways:

  • Desktop notification (chime)
  • Email alerts

To manage your alert preferences:

  1. Click Price Watchlist in the race navigation menu.
  2. Select Alert Settings.
  3. Toggle the alert types you want enabled.

This allows you to control how and when you receive updates based on your preferences.

 

How to use Price Watchlist as part of your betting strategy

The Price Watchlist is most powerful when used as a proactive betting tool rather than just a tracking feature. Here’s how to integrate it into your approach:
1. Identify value early and monitor movement

Add runners you believe are priced above their true probability. By setting alerts (especially with Any Price), you can monitor how the market reacts over time. If the price shortens, it may indicate market confidence; if it drifts, it may create an opportunity to secure better value.

2. Set price triggers to act on value thresholds
Using Enter Price, you can define the exact price you’re willing to take:

  • If a runner reaches your target price, you get notified immediately.
  • This helps remove guesswork and avoids missing entries when markets move quickly.

3. Compare bookmakers for pricing inefficiencies
By selecting multiple bookmakers in your watchlist, you can:

  • Spot discrepancies between bookies
  • Identify where value is being offered
  • Act quickly when a bookmaker drifts or leads the market

4. Time your bets with market movements
Odds fluctuate due to liquidity, news, and betting volume. Watching these movements allows you to:

  • Enter when prices drift to your advantage
  • Avoid early bets if you expect a better price later
  • Capitalise on late market moves before jump

5. Build a disciplined, repeatable process
Instead of reacting emotionally or chasing odds:

  • Pre-select your runners
  • Define your price thresholds
  • Let alerts guide your timing

Over time, this creates a structured approach where decisions are driven by data and predefined conditions rather than impulse.
