BFbotmanager Automation Discussion

@David-Milligan ah nice, good idea! I thought I'd set it to midday every 24 hours!
-
@Paul-Keighley You are set up to load the tips at 00:12 and reload every 24 hours. I would set the "Reload from URL" to 00:01:00 to reload the tips every hour in case any tips come through during the day
-
@Paul-Keighley Looks pretty similar to mine!!
-
@David-Milligan
Ok thanks David, I'll see what happens! Do just these default settings look fine to you? -
@Paul-Keighley yea once you get it set up it works like a charm. I haven't had to manually import the HR selections in months.
-
@David-Milligan Thanks David. I've just turned on this option and put in the url. It's just I saw Andrew's post about it and he said it didn't appear to be working correctly for him, so I was just checking if he had sorted it yet and whether there were just a few settings I needed to chnage for example?
-
@Paul-Keighley If you are using Betfair Bot Manager you can get it to check a URL for tips every so often - it is in Auto Load Tips - page 86 on the manual

@Andrew-Gray Hi Andrew. Did you manage to get this working in the end? I've just been importing the same url each day manually, didn't realise there was this option to have it done automatically every day!
-
Hi there.
Is the beaten fav strategy supposed to be PLACE market, cause every bet within BFBM was done as a place bet??
-
@Phillip-Chapman mine had been running for a few months now but noticed yesterday that no bets were placed. Checked again today and no tips imported. I have tried to manually add them from csv file and it failed again. Wonder if something has changed. I will keep looking and let you know if I find anything
-
How much variance do people tend to tolerate / expect from BFBot vs the software. I just checked my LTBF bot and compared the last c.100 selections to see how they compared.
22 May - 5 June
No of Trades Strike Rate Avg Odds
BTC Base Filter 74 82.43% 9.9
BFbot 96 83.33% 9.72 -
Anybody able to help, I'm trying to set up a bot to place a pre-off back bet on a horse and then trade out in running when the price has moved 25% in either direction, just cant get it to trade out properly?
-
@Joseph-Henderson no end time, I just let it run on mine. Haven't dived enough into the stats to see if it's caused a major issue but am in profit with my strat.
-
Hi everyone,
I am struggling to connect BTC to BFBM, I have search the forums and cannot find the solution so I was hoping someone could help. I am using the link URL but BFBM just keeps saying "number of tips imported 0" despite there being selections on the BTC screen and if you download the CSV.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks
Phil

@Daniel-Mills Do you not have an end time on your timeframe? Just anytime after 65 mins if the odds hit and a goal hasn’t been scored?
I have it setup to just place a back bet if the time frame is between 69-74 mins currently.
-
@Joseph-Henderson How have you got 'football - match minute' and / or 'football - match status' set up in your market conditions for the strat?
I've got one that fires after 65 mins but doesn't trigger until it hits the right odds range, so usually quite a few mins after the 65 mark. Could it be missing down to not reaching your right odds range / liquidity in the market?
-
Hi All. I am trialling a late goal bot, backing a goal after 69 mins. I am finding that on the whole it is firing, however it does miss games where I think there are goals/red cards around 69 mins and therefore I assume the market is probably suspended. I have widened the time to bet to be between 69-74 mins. Just wondered if there is anything else I could tweak? Is there an option to configure how many times the bot tries and places the bet per minute for example? Thanks
-
@Andrew-Gray Individual trades tab which is inbetween group breakdown and upcoming qualifiers. You might need to tell it what data you want displayed there under Tailor Your Results when you put in staking odds etc
-
@Adam Thanks Adam that's great and I have manually verified a few of the days/strats so far and they all seem to roughly match up with the results.
A couple more questions:
-
Is there any way to see actual individual bets/results in the backtester software so I can literally verify each bet? (I can only see month overview on there)
-
If not would that be easy to add
-
On a different subject. I have the URL being fed into BFBotManager which is a great feature!!! However Has anyone managed to get this updating automatically so you literally don't have to do anything and it just runs on autopilot? I have tried adding it to this section (Manage Tips -> Tips Autoloading):
But whatever settings I put into that (different times, and also ticking the "Use load at set time" box) it does not seem to ever auto load the selections.
However if I manually click the "Reload" button on that row, it imports everything successfully, suggesting I am doing the right thing.
Any help on that from anyone be really appreciated as a totally hands off system is the dream!

I'm sure many of you know how to auto load your selections from Google Sheets. For anyone who doesn't, I've pulled together a little guide which should help.
Personally I've always just entered them from the tree navigation, but I am looking to move over to a VPS, so want a way that I can upload selections without quickly, so not wanting to go into the server to access BFBM. Currently, I make my selections on a laptop and have BFBM running on a different PC (actually on a virtual PC on my desktop so I have two versions of BFBM running on the same PC one for horses and one for football).

Any comments/suggestions for improvement based on what others do would be greatly received.
