Can i do it automatically from fairbot or there i can use only one strategy per race?

Daniel Sawkins

@martin Hi, Yes they have been working fine for a few months it's just today I couldn't get them to pick any selections up, very strange. I'm hoping it's just my phone, I'll check them on my laptop in the morning and hopefully my phone will sort it's self out.

@panagiotis if it's not the same horse you would just do both

Martin

@daniel-sawkins have you turned them on?

@martin I have another important question.
Many times we have in the same race Back strategy and Lay strategy?
What do i need to do in this case?
Exist a way how to activate 2 different automated strategies on fairbot for the same race or we need to avoid this race or choose only one strategy?

Daniel Sawkins

@Adam Hi Adam, do you have any suggestions on how to get my daily selections working as the filters are not picking anything up for me? Thanks.

John Folan

I shall be laying the favourites in these races 10 seconds before the start time subject to the following conditions:

Number of Runners 4-14.
Odds Between 1.8-2.4.
DSLR: 3-200.

Full strategy available here in the pinned post.

@keith-driscoll Still nothing with or without year filter. It's been fine to be honest with this filter added so I wasn't sure if that would make any difference.

It's something to do with moving to 2023. Seems to have caught a few users out. Make a copy of your strategy, and take a filter out one-by-one.

If you adder a month/year to the filters, take them out.

^^^ THIS!

Last night, I was in bed (before midnight lol) and I suddenly had the thought - all my filters have 2021/2022 on them and no results would come up on the qualifiers! I knew today was a big day of racing so I dragged myself out of bed, fired up the computer again just before midnight and checked ... sure enough the qualifiers list was empty!

So I went through every live strategy removing the year filter and thankfully, the qualifiers list was fully populated this morning

Oddly, the year filter does not have 2023 as an option today! I'm guessing that's something that @Adam has to do manually perhaps?

@martin Morning Martin and all,

Happy New Year to everyone!

Think there maybe a glitch with the house racing software, I follow the lay the beaten favourite strategy daily but the filters are not showing any selections for today yet I can see from your email you have 14?

Thank you.

Happy New Year

I'm seeing them ok in both the Daily Qualifiers list and also the Individual Qualifiers section within the strategy?

@dan-mackinnon It’s been fun. Horse racing is a fair bit frustrating(price movements and non runners) but it’s satisfying when you go against the market and win.

@john-folan mine triggered on 3 yesterday but won 1/3. Despite this, really impressed with both BF bot manager and the horse software and already in profit for the month overall. Here's to a profitable new year!

Good. I like it. Just need to be patient with it. I’m nearly 50 points in front since the beginning of May. August did throw it out massively but it’s recovered now
