Can the following bot be setup on BA
Inplay horse racing for UK/IRELAND only

Lay first horse to hit under odds of 2 inplay

For 1% of balance

With recovery for upto 7 losses in a row, When/If 7 losses in a row occurs revert back to 1% of current balance

Stop when 10% profit for the day has been hit

Recovery remembered to go into the next day for e.g. if end of day its on 4 losses the first bet the next day would still be in recovery

It's quite possible, but as loss recovery systems are 100% guaranteed to lose, Bet Angel doesn't have any native rules or conditions to make it easy, and for the same reason, nobody's likely to create an example file for such a strategy.

Your system is also flawed because after 7 losses in a row you'll have gone bust (you won't even have enough for your 7th bet), so you can't revert to 1% stakes because you're bankrupt. 10% profit for the day can only be hit if you get 10 winners in a row (as you're laying at even money), which is unlikely to happen. One loser and you're back in recovery mode!

By the way, this post should be in the loss recovery section rather than the newbies/getting started section.

(I can't find my Martingale meme :( ).

Recovery plans are useless because, either;
i) the strategy has a long term positive return on investment in which case, why stop? You'd be just throwing away profit.
ii) the strategy has a long term negative return on investment in which case one day the 7 in a row will get you and blow your bank.

Can see what you're trying to do.

Best advice is to increase stakes from your winnings. ie: Lay Square Root. B.A won't do that, so you'd need to amend each .baf as you go.
Also, it's best not to limit your winning cycle, but maybe consider stopping at a x% loss on the day.
