@greg-mitchell @John-Folan
I don't think it does, I'm sure Adam posted a google sheet somewhere on here that does all the separating for you once you load the data into it

[Greg Mitchell]

@john-folan Ok ta. I will do a test today..

@john-folan Do you know if when importing tips, you can have more than one tipster in the same row, provided they are separated by a comma or does it need to be two separate rows. For example if I download the daily selections from the horse racing software, sometimes one horse will be matched to more than one strategy and want to put both into BFBM?

I haven’t tried tbh. I usually just duplicate the horse and put one strategy name in one row and one on the other.

Also if you don’t want all horse markets if you make sure your strategy has MarketId in the market Id column it will auto import that market into bfbm as well.

@john-folan Thank You, I had tried that but it didn't seem quite what I wanted. I need to make sure that the price at 2 mins was 4 ticks less than its 4 minute mark, when I first set this up, it could of drifted 4 mins to 2 1/2 mins and then come in 4 ticks and it would of been classed as a steamer, which is not what I wanted.

I do however think I have solved it, I have set the strategy price recording time to start at 4 mins and finish at 3 mins and 58 seconds, it should therefore record my starting point correctly. It will then only class any selection as a steamer at 2 mins if the price at 2 mins is 4 ticks less than the record price. Does that sound the right logic to you?

Yes. Don't forget to make sure the condition says use the recorded data rather than the steamer drifting one

@john-folan Thank you, I can't seem to find the right settings. Have it set up ok in Bet Angel but looking at moving to BFBM as I love the bank options.

There’s a lot more filtering in Bfbot as well. I prefer it despite the fact it’s a little slower.
Found it in the manual. You can do % or ticks. This is the rule you want under selection conditions

Only me again. Is it possible to set the price checking as follows:

Check Price at 3 mins before off is X ticks less or more than it was at 4 mins
Check Price at 2 mins before off is X ticks less or more than it was at 3 mins

I only seem to see the option to check the maximum and minimum tick movement from when you start recording prices, and in some cases within that 2 minutes it can both drift and steam by 4 ticks?

Pretty sure there is. I did something with percentage drops a while back. Positive it does ticks as well. I’ll look later/tomorrow morning.

Pretty sure it’s the streamers drifters rule in selection conditions

Would this look right as a csv file to import into Bfbotmanager?

That should work randomly

@john-folan Nothing set in the country filter, strangely, it just started working after 09:30, perhaps there is a time restriction somewhere?

That will be in the time to bet rules under market conditions

@john-folan Thank you, all sorted. I am running a scalping test bot on greyhounds, I have set it to Events - Greyhound Racing, it worked great yesterday on GB races, but it is not firing on the Australian markets, is there a reason for this do you know?

Can someone please guide me on the relevant settings for this on BFBM please:

I currently use Bet Angel and have a strategy which places a back bet and at the same time (using Bet Angel terminology) places and offset bet with greening at 4 ticks. What is the equivalent setting on BFBM for the offset bit?

After bet rules tab should have what you are looking for

@jon-batten Giving it my best shot just got to keep going.

[A Former User]

@nick-terracciano same here. The amount of times I've looked at momentum charts on sofa score and I think it's a dead cert for a goal coming and ends up a dud. Sounds like your in a great head space to succeed though. Nice one
