@Steve-Smeaton what's your bankroll for those stakes? are you letting bets run or trading out?

here is the bfbm thread: https://forum.betfairtradingcommunity.com/topic/2915/bfbotmanager-automation-discussion

Spreadsheet updated up to 19/08/2024 so now one years worth of results tracked (just under 13 months), that’s 622 matches.

Bear in mind the results I have tracked WON’T BE ALL the selections there ever was as some drop in/out of the BTC filter according to a selection’s Betfair odds fluctuations.

I generally get my daily selections from the odds filter in the morning between 06:00-11:00 depending on the day and what I’m doing, so will miss any selections after this time frame, however on the odd occasion during summer league seasons I will check and add any selections available, which can catch the odd overnight/early morning USA, South American, Japanese and South Korean matches but generally I believe I catch the vast amount of daily selections in the morning.

@Patrik-Mellqvist this section works for that, then you could keep everything in one thread and it would be easier to follow and respond to questions also 🙂

@Patrik-Mellqvist I knew a trader who did very well trading this time period as well in matches, just to add to this chat.

His goal was to make £10 a day and he ended up making a lot more than that.

@Patrik-Mellqvist am just means midnight to midday, midday to midnight is pm

@James-Utterson great stuff really good to have you here! If you need help with anything let me know!

@Peter-Adams Great to have you here and get you on the way to becoming a trader, is there anything you are stuck with or don't understand?

I'll happily help.

@Alex-Rendell said in Criteria settings!:

I think the main thing is to be as consistent with your approach as possible, and don't over complicate things!

Agree with this.

Also, the odds you're taking are obviously the major contributor to the profit or loss you're making, so if you've determined what odds you need and they're not there, skip that trade or place a speculative bet at the odds you want and hope they come within your threshold!

@Martin It came in. 0-0

@Martin said in John’s Horse Trading Resources:

@John-Folan what you getting done in Turkey?

Teeth, hair transplant, tummy tuck and a face lift 😂

@Patrik-Mellqvist I like the idea but it will be entirely dependent on stakes used and whether or not your strategy is a long term success.

@Simon-Cowling Top man, how are you getting on?

Is there anything we can be doing to make your time here a success?

@Patrik-Mellqvist how many wins do you need to cancel out the loss on Over/Under 2.5 and Over/Under 3.5

@Patrik-Mellqvist For automation I just code my own, but BFBM definitely seems to be the most popular here, I think because it's so flexible.

I use BetAngel for any manual trading or if I just want to observe the behaviour of the markets, as I find their ladder interface and charts to be the best.

@Martin cheers will take a look just wanted to make sure, I got a half decent one. Had a little look at the all in one pc's but don't think that's the best option for me.

@Adam said in Question About BSP Place Markets:

@Michael-Chalk We get the place prices in a file from Betfair and the event name is still listed as "To Be Placed". BF don't seem to offer this market as a single entity any more on the website.

I think the price is taken from the TBP market with the same number of places as the Each Way market.

Nice and simple 🙄

Betfair don't make life easy for you do they!

@Craig-vaulks No worries at all, great to have you back 🙂 you missed us all? 🙂

Wicked we will happily help.

How happy we were in that first pic lol
