@Kevin-Pepper Thank you very much Kevin, your response has given me another thought on how to overcome my problem. Basically, I've created a strategy in Lightspeed based on Laying 4th favourite in 2TBP markets. Obviously, Lightspeed only gives me results for laying in the Win market which are phenomenal by the way but with huge liability. The 2TBP market has much less liability and after some playing around with Google Sheets found that the 2TBP market is also very profitable. Trying to load this into BF Botmanager doesn't work though as it will only place the Bet on the imported strategy which is a Win market.
Your response gave me an idea though. Use BF Bot to place a very small bet using the strategy on the Win market, then create a Bot like you suggested only to place a bet, albeit the same bet but on the 2TBP market with much less liability. Thank you for that.

@Jaysen-John just to clarify, is this the first bet or has it backed at this point?

If it's the first bet it has backed instead of layed first.

Which bot are you using? Is it one from this thread or one you made?

@Lee-Greener yeah I use automation for horses for that reason, it depends how much you want to sit in front of the screen I guess!

@Robert-Caven said in BTC match odds not being recognised:

I got the selectionId by right clicking over the home odds button then selecting inspect. Then scrolling up until I see the word SelectionId where the number was. I now know for the match odds these numbers differ all the time unlike the overs / unders market where the numbers are the same.

That's weird. If I follow the same process, I get the same selectionId as using the graph method. The selectionIds for each team should stay the same I think; must admit I haven't tested it recently with football but in horse racing for example, I've never seen a selectionId change for a particular horse.

Glad you've found a less painful way of getting it working though!

@Adam Thanks for your prompt reply. 5851484 was a typing mistake, 5851483 got it !!!
I've just had a eureka moment as I have been having problems getting the footy automation to work.
I only import "Provider, EventId and SelectionId" and it brings up all the data on BF manager perfectly.
All sussed now so severely happy bunny.
Thanks again you two for getting back so soon.

@Aaron-Rouse Is there anything else I can be helping you with while you have my attention?

Hi
Could anyone please tell me the best way to set a Bot up to hedge out of a goal market at halftime if the score is 0-0?
many thanks.

May be better to post on the thread of the bot you are using. I have a list of them here: https://forum.betfairtradingcommunity.com/topic/4078/automation-trading-bots-index/2?_=1714802511395

The other thing I would suggest is messaging the customer service team of whatever service you are using as they will be able to help you.

@John-Folan thanks mate top man!

@Everyone what's the best automation service at the moment?
