1 - I don't think it's possible
2 - I agree with Dan. Depending on the strategies you'll need to ensure there's no conflict in the combined Rules
3 - sounds like an issue with the way the rule has been setup. Here's a screenshot of the rule...

@dan-mackinnon super bot sounds interesting, but possibly advanced for my third day of the trial software!
Multiple applications came about through necessity as one race today showed up on 2 strategies and I couldn't figure out how to add multiple automation to the same market
Really enjoying learning about the automation side of things and really helps to get more of an understanding about the strategies but do wish there were a few more tutorials as so far it's mainly been this forum and YouTube
-
@steven-fletcher I don't know the answers to your questions unfortunately but would be interested to find out.
2 - I never thought of opening multiple versions of Fairbot, I just assumed you could only do it once. What I've done is create a "super bot" which has all my strategies in one and then I just select which ones are applicable.
-
So I've been reading this thread for a while and it has been a really useful source of information.
I did have a couple of questions though I couldn't see answered and apologies if these have been covered elsewhere
1 - Is it possible to import your selections into Fairbot in someway so you can prepopulate your market list with the selection download in some way to make it quicker?
2 - Is the only way to run multiple strategies to open multiple versions of Fairbot. These seems to be the work around (as long as I limit the amount of data requests as per the warning) but I was wondering if there were other ways around this
3 - This is specific to the discussion of the pace lay automation in the horse racing thread.
An update was made to the automation to limit the difference between the back odds and the lay odds.I can see from the screens that the rule is attempting to check the back and lay but when I tried using this I was unable to click into the second condition window, instead of unknown it appears to be giving code.......is this a quirk of the software or is something wrong with the rule?
-
i was surprised how much cheaper Fairbot was than having to subscribe to Bet Angel Professional (which is the only level in BA you can do Automation)
-
@gary-finnigan-0 yeah. All the filters are in the opening post
-
@Dan-MacKinnon Ive just subscribed to fairbot for 12 months - have you got a filter for your shg strategy?
-
@stuart-wallace unfortunately so
-
@dan-mackinnon Is there a cost Dan?

Stupid question not got my head round automation yet but if you set a bot running do you need to leave pc on and logged into Fairbot?
You can get a VPS which runs Fairbot and you remote access it. That's what I use and there's a couple of suggestions on the HR forum. I use Time4VPS and I know Adam has EUKHost
-
One of the interesting things about Fairbot is that if you have a time related BOT about to kick in, it highlights which one and does a count-down of the timing.

@dan-mackinnon Just wanted to say thanks Dan. Tried your BOT for first time today and it worked well.
Looking forward to using it from now onGlad it worked. I think this has been a proper BTC project though. I didn't really know how to make a bot so was good for me, Martin exposed the suspended market issue, Kevin has added his expertise with liability, etc. and now you've tested it!
OK, got another on the filter for tonight....Helmond v De Graapschap...so...going all in.......£2 lay

@dan-mackinnon so if we are laying a scoreline maybe max odds to lay of 2.2? Similar to 1.8 backing
-
@kevin-pepper Thanks for that.
@Martin what's your thoughts? I could see about changing the criteria to lay at best back odds +1 tick if the back odds are equal or greater than 1.8. Does that work for your strategy?
Do you also want a minimum liquidity condition added?

@dr-steve-buckwell
@Dan-MacKinnon can you upload the late goal bot to the OP?
0_1668413525843_LCS at 74min Only (Rev A).fs
Here's the amended version, and I've also uploaded it to the OP.
I've added minimum odds on the lay side to be greater or equal to 1.8.
I've also added a condition that the market state has to active. I believe this means if the market is suspended it won't place a bet. Hopefully that works on the incident you had.
I could add another rule for goals over 3-1, etc. but to be honest it's quite time consuming amending all the correct scores I currently have and don't want to start messing about with others (just because it's easy to accidentally put 1 thing wrong and throw everything off). I also imagine it's quite unlikely you'll have that high a scoring first half that it'll be a consistent problem.
@Kevin-Pepper do you mind having a look when you get a chance and let me know if what I've done seems reasonable? Or if you have any suggestions from Martin's video?
Hi Dan
The bot seems reasonable but I'd suggest you look at how you place your lay bet. You have set it to trigger if the best lay price is >1.8 but there's no check for an upper amount.
So, say you have a CS market with low liquidity, you could have a best back price of 1.8 and the best lay price is 2.0. Would you want to then lay at 2.0? I'd be more inclined to lay at say 1.81? Worst case you could be laying at much more than 2.0 as there's no check that the best lay price isn't below say 2.0.To help explain, there's a game on now at the point the bot would trigger and if I'm getting it right you'll lay 1-1 at 2.28 but the best back price is 2.04. It might be that you wouldn't trade a game with such low liquidity (just £1281 matched) or actually you could add a Condition to check for a minimum amount traded on the market?
Hope that helps. I haven't updated your strategy as we will all have our preferred approach but I'm happy to do an update if there's a 'house' approach (I've not had a chance to check out the video properly)
Kevin
