@alex-rendell back the favourite if it's in the target odds range, original horse given is irrelevant
-
Hello all, apologies for the newbie Q, but I'm just seeking some clarity please if anyone can help; if the "back the favourite at the off (@ odds 2.50 - 6.0)" strategy generates a selection, are we looking to only back THAT selection if it is the favourite, or are we backing the favourite in that race at the start, regardless of the selection thrown up by the software?
Hope that makes sense! Cheers guys

@greg-mitchell because it was over 15f the bot discounted it, so there would be a difference between the results and what the bot actually placed. My strat doesn't know the horse selection until the off, so I'm not just using the bot to bet on a specific horse.
@Adam I would prefer to round to the nearest whole furlong please.
Makes sense. I agree

If you are using a strategy developed from back testing the software and using the software to pick your selections it doesn't matter what the distance is set to as will be 15f furlongs in backtesting and selections won't it.
But I guess rounding two the nearest whole furlong makes better sense.
-
@paul-foster The exact distance was actually slightly short of 16 furlongs, which is why it was shown as 15.
If people prefer, we can round to the nearest whole furlong distance value.

Just reported an issue with the results on one of my strategies from yesterday.
The 20:30 at Kempton yesterday has come up with a selection, but this race was outside of my criteria as the race was 2-miles, so 16f, however the software has this listed as 15f. My strategy race distance criteria is for 15f or less.
I only noticed bacause I was testing an tweak to my bot and so was paying attention to the reports tab, so not sure if this is a one off, but worth keeping an eye on when looking at differences between actual bets placed and when the software is reporting.

Short odd lays had a good start to Feb. Hopefully they tick along now.

@john-folan hi John. how do I check or change the cycle of the market. No trades for me yesterday.
Settings then monitoring settings. Refresh rate needs to be 300ms and then look at time before event for monitoring and set it to what you need.

I flagged it up via private message to both Martin and Adam yesterday and didn't get a response from either, so seems little point in doing so again today......has anyone had a reply from anyone at the site yet ?
If you have an issue, it's obviously always worth reporting it. Today's was a different issue to yesterday. If you can use the support button in the software to log an actual support ticket, you'll get a reply when we resolve the ticket.
So many people logged tickets about today's issue that I responded with a mass "Everyone" tag on here instead.

@alex-rendell Thanks Alex

@tristan-hall That is what the problem is, nothing comes up, and the cloud download button doesn't download anything.
