Hi,
Could I ask for some help regarding BFBM on Irish Dobs. I have taken the gz file from the forward testing thread and followed all instructions, but don't seem to be getting any selections even though I have all the naming the same as below: Any Advice?
The automated URL link is pulling through tips into BFBM, so I know that bit is working.
At the minute, it shows as paused, but I have had it running for a couple of days and nothing. I have just paused it at the moment, to ask for help.

@Nick-Mulvey This is my bot. It is basically the same as the Standard Non Staking Plan bot but with the plan added. It works fine for the standard version.
-
@Greg-Mitchell I've experimented with a couple of them, not used that one yet though. If you want me to have a look at what you have I can try and help
-
Is anybody using any of the preset staking plans on BFBM (other than the % of bank one). I am trying to get the Lay 1-4 Staking Plan working, but every time I put it on a strategy, it just stops putting bets on. I'm thinking it has something to do with setting the initial stake but can't figure it out at all. Any help appreciated?
-
@Andrew-Gray No reason. Just haven't looked at it yet.
-
@alexander-hughes Why do you say this Alex?
-
@Phillip-Chapman If you want me to check anything in them, let me know and can take a look for you if need be.
-
@alexander-hughes looking at the match the bet was placed 4 mins after the goal so maybe there was a delay or issue at betfair. The bot i am using is the one from this forum.
-
@Nick-Mulvey That makes more sense.
-
@Phillip-Chapman If you do that it may hedge after 4 mins regardless of a goal or not depending on how you have it set up. You can always use the rule of "market status change delay" so it will wait x seconds after a market has changed from suspended to inplay again. (However long you wish to leave it for to settle)
-
@Phillip-Chapman Don't do that strategy at the moment.
-
@alexander-hughes Thanks, I will try 4 mins. What have you got it set to ?
-
@Phillip-Chapman After bet rules - 3rd condition down (right side) - hedge after x seconds.

Ryans Split Stake O1.5
I am running the split stake strat on BFBM but noticed today after a goal went in after 30mins that the bot placed the hedge quite quickly which resulted in a small loss rather than waiting for the market to settle before placing.
Has there been an update to the BFBM strategy that I have missed? or does anyone know how to delay the hedge.
Thanks

@Paul-Keighley Export BTC to excel. Export markets from BFBM.
Merge them. Edit before/after merge. Upload as tips.
If it's a regular thing then put the 2 exports in new folders and use power query for the merge. Then you can refresh once the folders have been updated with the latest exports.
to use latest file from a folder. merge (joins) in power query. -
Hi guys.
Just seeing if anyone has the latest fool proof method of importing selections from the BTC football software as tips. I'm betting Inplay on the over 2.5 goals market so thats the only market loaded in bfbm currently.I used to have a template that I could copy certain fields from the btc software exports, with a couple of field headers changed, similar to how someone has described below somewhere in this thread, but it doesn't seem to work correctly anymore nor does the method described in this thread. thanks

@Alex-Rule
Hey I'm a bit bored so quickly did a strat using ur rules.
I added a no red card rule and a safety rule that pauses if strat has lost $20 you can change that always good to run a safety loss in case something goes wrong.
A few of my inplay trades I use the Bet if specific market selection is within a set price range so rule inside the selection conditions to check odds of a favorite before inplay. ie fav odds before inplay 1.01 to 2.05 as I find strong teams vs weak normally have more goals but depends on your strategy just giving you an example on some extra filtering. I would also look at minimum market volume to exclude low liability games as odd will be more accurate then. Also adjust your stake to what you want I normally test with 0.10.Hope that all made sense have had a few beers cheers
-
@Daniel-Mills thanks for the response. Sounds like it's all doable then. Just need to invest some time into understanding how it all works.
Thanks for the pointers gents - much appreciated.

@Daniel-Mills
Understood - how do you find just leaving the bot to do all the heavy lifting? Is the bot trading more games than you physically could as a human? Do you do all/some of trading with BOT and some manually still?
Cheers,
AlexHaven't traded any of my football strategies manually now since before Christmas, so i'd say it's faring pretty well! It's not that I couldn't trade these games (although better not having to get up in the night for Brazilian and MLS games), it just means during the weekend I don't need to think about it or try and set up flashscore notifications. It's completely taken the mental side of it out for me too. I check in to my virtual machine once or twice a day to see how it's doing and that's about it.
Not averse to the odd opportunity if i'm watching something, but I try to keep it reasonably moderate.
i was downloading my filters and manually formatting the spreadsheet on google sheets before sending to BFBM the night before. Only takes about 10-15 minutes, but have since had some help from ChatGPT writing timed scripts that do the formatting for me and making it run a bit closer to the way the horse software does.@David-Polkey If either of you or Alex are trying to set up the bot i'm happy to share some pointers in here for yourselves or anyone else that's trying to nail it. I don't trade SHG when either side has more than 2 goals which makes things a little easier - I have to load every unders market (05.,1.5 etc) with my filter name as a provider on my strat. It was a bit long to set up but now it's done it's solid.
