@matthew-sheehan This was the problem for me too - @martin @John-Folan might be worth posting a FYI or an updated version of the short lays bot on the BFBM thread?
can you link me it?

@matthew-sheehan must check that out!
-
@david-milligan it was only one for me too - think my bot is set to only do the short odds lays for British racing, not Ireland so it wouldn't have fired for Dundalk

Nice to see the strategies doing well. Laying is the way forward. It's what the bookies do.
Totally agree mate, ever since I read about favourites in general only winning about 30% of the time I became a LAY convert. As you say, clearly been working well for the bookies long enough!

Stonking day yesterday. All the lays did well. No lost races.
Lay Beaten Fav - 2 points
Low Lays - 5 points
Pace Lays - 6 pointsAll have slight modifications from stock and though its very early days all appear to be better for it.

@john-folan I've gone for fifteen mins so that it's up and going for the ten min before post bets
Yep my earliest goes in 11 minutes out(pace backs) so mine does 12. I don’t have a large amount of football clogging mine up

@david-milligan said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:
Hopefully sorted now - the bot will only monitor the markets that are loaded via the tips and not the 1,000,000 other markets I had loaded in the background
Also restrict it in monitoring settings to start just before a race/match depending when you place your bets. That will really help
-
@daniel-mills Yep think I have it set at 300ms from memory

Storming day for the short odds lays. Thanks Dundalk
Just the one that fired for me also
-
@david-milligan did you go into the settings to change the market refresh rate? John posted a how to a few posts down.
Seems to have made the difference for me and I have a lot of markets open

@john-folan Only one bet for me - you running the strategy as is or have you made some alterations?
Having said that, the other lay strategies had a few picks which all won too!
Weird. I had 5/5. Should be the same bot posted
5/5 for me too. Happy days
