@nick Wicked, I think this could be really smart going forward as well - I will get a form for people set up for the software so that can ask about these Q's

@Tony-Hastie haha

I was recently looking into an NHL Ice Hockey game is Finland and the resale for £60 tickets was something like £1500. Thought I'm just better off spending a bit more and actually going to the US!

@Peter-Adams brilliant!

Great vid as always @Martin

Good to have refresher and be reminded of the basics before jumping into strategy creation.

@Patrik-Mellqvist Yes those stats exist; check the "H2H Overall" section of the filters.

Morning Simon,
I have been looking into Chat GPT for the very same thing over last month, as completing my spreadsheets is the most time consuming aspect of my trading. I was uploading a spreadsheet to GPT of around 10 matches at a time requesting HT,FT and goal times for the respective matches.
However even using chat 4o, when I cross referenced the results, I found it to be inaccurate around 50% of time with either incorrect scores and /or goal times. I even directed it to specific websites and it still retrieved incorrect information.
For me I lost confidence in chat to provide me with accurate info, so have gone back to the manual updates of my spreadsheet.
Maybe I wasn't using the correct prompts, but to get all 84 matches correct is a game changer..!!

@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?
