BFbotmanager Automation Discussion

Hi John, I bought the software yesterday and I've got a couple of questions I use BFBOT manager and I've been reading how you Imports tips from file as per the steps you show above. The CSV download from the horse racing software isn't exactly the same as the one you've got in the example above?
So I take it I change strategy_name to Provider? but I've not got a runner_name on my CSV file to change to SelectionID - is that the market_id? Or the selection_id? I can change horse_name to SelectionName that’s fine. So I went ahead and try to change the values to what I though they should be and I'm getting a completely different screen on the BFBM - so I don't really know where I'm going wrong?
Is there anything you can help me with? have I perhaps up the software wrong?
any help would be very greatly appreciatedNick

@john-folan that's strange. It says this.
So you load it and check the 'my selections' box in order for the bot to process it?

Hi @John-Folan. Am I right in thinking that I need to add a 'Fav', column to bfbot in order to get your trob bot to work? If so, how do I add this column please?
Not really. I just add the selections for it on the markets page?

Sorry if this is the wrong thread but looking for a Tennis Back the Server strategy but I’m struggling on the exit point and having the bot continuously placing the trade throughout the match.
Has there been a strategy already created? -
yeah, which means that the strategy I have been messing with which looks great in the software is probably not actually possible to replicate in reality!

@mrs-h-m-price been messing around quite a lot today. You are spot on about really high odds struggling to get decent amounts matched. Especially inrunning. Been running down the amount trading on each selection and you can probably get away with upto 30.00. Safer to stick to sub 20.00. All the money is in the top few horses. Unless it’s a really big meet.

Having looked at this some more, I am now trading out as soon as the race goes in play. After playing around with it manually I realised that if I left it a while, I was having a lot of difficulty in trading out; some of the bigger prices simply couldn't get matched. That is something that I don't think the BTC software can account for. It can show you what the price was at any given time but it can't tell you whether or not you'll be able to get your stake matched in play (or pre race for that matter really)
I think you might be right there. Probably ok up to about 20? Especially pre race. Inrunning is utter carnage sometimes

@mrs-h-m-price actually if you could post screens of your trade out and stop loss settings that would give me something to work with . Microsoft Snipping Tool is a wonderful thing!

@John-Folan Hi John, could I ask a question about BFBotManager if you have the time? I've got a trading strategy in BTC which is backing selected horses before the off, and then attempting to trade out for a percentage based profit.
However, what I'd also like to do, is simply cash out completely after say 30 seconds of in-play time if my first lay bet was not matched but I don't seem to be able to do this.
So currently in "After Bet Rules" I have a Trade out rule with a bet persistence of keep, so that keeps that bet in play.
I then tried to also add a hedge rule, to just minimise losses, but when I tried clicking "Hedge X seconds after the start time", this appears to be the official start time rather than the actual start time! I then clicked "Only activate during in play", but it then fires as soon as the race goes in play, when what I actually want is to be able to wait X number of seconds of in-play time.
Do you know if that is possible?
Thanks!
CarolineHi, in a simple answer yes. I haven’t done that in a while though. I’m not around tomorrow but I will try and look Sunday for you. I think it’s pretty straight forward if I remember rightly

@john-folan With your My Flat Pace Backs bot should you add a Market condition filter to disallow the track conditions in your filter in case the condition changes from the time you import your tips and the bet being placed?
Also number of runners in case of late non runners before bet being placed?Good point. Doing it now

@dr-steve-buckwell Please take into account that I have had a BF Bot for less than a week. I am using the BF Bot to "Back the Fav" on horseracing. Getting the selections from the BTC Horse Racing Software. I had no ability or advantage with backing horses, so I stayed with football bets. However the Bot and the racing software together are awesome.
