@John-Folan do you have the rule files for your strategies above mate so I can get them added to my bot?
Which ones? All the files are there?

-
@Alex-Rule I have done in the past, but just put it on hold for now. I had a bot set up to back over 2.5 goals if the outsider at KO was odds of 4 or more and they scored first in the first half.
-
-
@Nick-Mulvey Understood. I have a version of this strategy that doesn't use in play stats - just number of and prematch odds so that should be fine.
-
@Alex-Rule Yes there's settings to say what minutes to bet in. You can set it for inplay stats but not all matches will be able to have that data available to them, especially something like SOT, only the main leagues will have that. Yes you can set a minimum odds range to bet in

Hi all,
I had a couple of questions about setting up an inplay football strategy.
- Can you set the bot to enter at a certain time in the game in MINS eg. 60 mins?
- Can the bot search for games that meet both prematch and inplay rules such as shots/SOT?
- Are you able to set a min odds requirements before entering the market?
The rules would be something like below.....
Game time = 60mins
Number of total goals in game = 2
SOT = 6 or more
Once the above if found enter at odds of 1.4 or above and let the bet run.Would this mean the bot scours every inplay game for the above conditions and actions accordingly?
I am brand new to the idea of automation and want to get my head around the capabilities before committing!
Cheers,

@Paul-Foster Yes they do, particularly on horse racing, but you get the bot to place the trade out bet before the off at the same time as your initial bet but once your initial bet is matched, Set the required profit level and then set it to KEEP the bet.
That way, as soon as the odds your hit required profit your money is in the queue to be matched without any delay.
-
@Paul-Foster Surely on an automated DOB the closing stake is in the market just waiting to see if the market takes it ?
You make it sound like you are manually trying to close out.
-
@Greg-Mitchell I've given up on these type of stragies with a bot. When inplay the odds just move around too much, so you never can get out as you expect. Tried with both BFBM and Bet Angel. Neither got any where near.
-
@Sean Thanks Sean. Absolutely bewilders me why that option would not be ticked by default though.
I have noticed none of the values updated when I ticked it so I guess that setting is only forward looking. I can deal with the totals being £20 out as long as it stays that way, will keep an eye on it. Cheers again!
-
@Andrew-Gray If you're on the BETS tab, it doesn't subtract commission, so that total will always be out.
The P/L of your strategy should be calculated after commission. Just make sure in General Settings that the boxes "Use market base rate as Betfair commission percentage" and "Take commission from overall market profit" are ticked.
The totals for each strategy aren't always exactly the same as the totals I've calculated when I record my results in my spreadsheet, but at the moment they are only out by a few cents and will be from markets where two or more strategies placed bets and I subtracted an extra cent of commission from one and BFBM calculated it doing the opposite.
-
Has anyone else noticed that BFBM is reporting incorrect P+L?
I have tracked it against my actual BF balance (no other manual bets or other bots are running on my account so the only thing betting is BFBM).
On Saturday it reported a loss of £33.06 but the actual bank dropped by £45.79
Sunday it report a loss of £39.13 but the actual bank dropped by £49.60It's not exactly a rounding issue, so something must be wrong with it?!
Realise BFBM has nothing to do with BTC but as there are many users of the software on here I thought it would be worth asking on here first before trying the BFBM support.

Hi all
Took a while because of a few issues at work and also with the nippers, but I finally got to do the U2.5 strategy with your assistance and I have managed to get it working well.
It still sometimes gets out too early which I think is a problem between the "expected" start time (when the bet is placed) and the actual start of the match - ie just got out of one after 11 minutes rather than 15.
I know there's something you can click which shows you what the strategy is "doing" under the hood, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is.....
Can anyone point me in the right direction!!!??
-
@John-Folan that's really kind of you. Worked through a few of their videos last night but they are quite dry viewing aha. I'm really keen to explore this further and see what can be done with it. Watch this space! Cheers, Alex
