First day running my bots on 3 of the 6 strategies, bots all worked but the results were terrible today typical. Oh well it’s all about the long term results. Roll on tomorrow

@martin I think yes, but i wll be more carefull next time to make you a photo!
Thanks for the quick support

ok so you wouldn't back and lay the same horse obviously, so just void that selection.

@martin Was back the fav @ 2.0 - 7 and lay Short odds 1.8 -2.4

Are you sure the lay short odds was in the right odds range? It would have needed to be odds between 2.0-2.40 to conflict

@john-folan The two at Limerick didn’t fire for me today John, not sure what’s happened there as it’s not in my excluded tracks list.

2/3 for me today. Hits in the 14:05 Limerick (L), 14:48 Kelso (W) and 15:05 Limerick (W). Not quite a point profit but close.

@panagiotis if it's the same horse then I would leave it, that should be fairly rare, what two strategies was this on?

Hello, @Martin

Im new here and very happy to join you guys.

I would like to follow all 6 horse strategies BUT i saw that many bets are inverse with other strategies.
For example, i found a horse to back and to the next strategy to lay.

What i need to do there in order to do it correctly?

Yes. Seems quite efficient.

@john-folan do you have the match me turned on at Betfair. Thanks

John Folan

It was that one. It must have hit 2.4 for a millisecond. My bot asks for a price 2 ticks worse to ensure matching but in this case I was matched at 2.4 as I’ve got the best price available turned on in Betfair.

@robert-h Malaita in the 14:48 at Catterick. It went off at 2.42 I think so that may be why it didn’t trigger for you. John’s bot triggers anything that’s two ticks bigger than the 2.40 threshold I believe.

@john-folan Can I know which one traded as my bot didn't fire and just want to see why. Thanks

@greg-mitchell said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

I wasn’t being critical, I just wanted to understand how @John-Folan made profit and I didn’t.. obviously liability v stake makes a massive difference.. and I’m fine with that.

Honestly, liability is the way to go. Anything I lay over 3.0 is done to a liability. Any football included. I can manage the downturns a lot better(less meltdowns)
