@Martin ah thats brill thank you and it worked and traded. I get how it works now so will be trying further strategies. No doubt I'll be back with a question. Thanks, Rob
-
@Martin Hi, yes as per below
-
@Joseph-Henderson yeah seems fine now think it turns out most of the strategies I was using didn't use the earlier in the day courses.

@Martin said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
Anyone had anything match on BFBM yet today? Weird that no bets on any of my strategies yet not usually the case.
I’ve had quite a few Back to Lay 2.0 and Back the Fav v4. Quite on the lay the third fav and LTBF. Will double check software tomorrow but suspect odds/fav criteria not being met.

@Martin Hi, I am very new to BTC but I do have BF Bot running a strategy through a different company so not a complete newbie! I have done the lay the dobs as per the video and I just want to clarify something.
On the BF Manager under manage tips, tips auto loading what is the file I need to put in the URL? Based on the other strategy I run Im assuming its the GZ file? Also when the file/strategy gets updated how do I get notified?
The other strategy I run is a football one and this is horse racing, you mentioned in the video I have to select horse racing on BF Manager. Any chance you can point me in the right direction to do that?
And while I am here, can you point me to a list of all the strategies that are ready to go into the bot. As you can imagine I am eager to have a few strategies running at the same time!
Thanks
Rob

@Martin I've got one at 13:40 Goodwood from backing the fav and that's all. So far, the others have not met the strategy conditions.

@Correa think everyone is different. I research both, if fancy both will do Split % stakes for Win or leave race alone depending on strength of research, background and price, for example if both top two or prices skinny in market I leave race alone. If one is Favourite and other outsider will split stake accordingly.
Some use the most profitable strategy, but its up to you, its your money your trade! -
What is the suggested approach when dealing with strategies that qualifies the same horse? For instance, if two backing strategies are running simultaneously and it indicates that a particular horse qualifies for both strategies, how should one proceed? (of course there is no problem when the horse wins

So July was a much better month for me personally after a dismal June, using version of C+D and PACE Backs now properly for 2 months, results as follows:-

@Jonathan-Jones nice one keep me updated on how it goes!
-
I wish. Been plagued by exeution issues and swapping stuff around all the time. Thats why i have settled on the 3 i feel more confident with. Execution issues i hope are behind me and its now fully automated so i am in a good place i think.
-
@Jonathan-Jones Yeah I've tried to develop quite nice mix, with all 8 having been tested. 2 out of the 8 I've been running since last July live and are quite reliabe, 2 are completely my own which I've tested for a while and was happy enough to run live. 2 are slight variations of the presets (LTBF and Back the fav), which I've adjusted for my own preferences, and the last 2 are a bit more speculative and are other members strats with have looked quite good over the backtest/forward test.
Hoping the variation and the mix of speculative vs. reliable will work well in the longer-term. Just got to hold my nerve in the negative swings.
