Lots of different odds

[Tiger]

I have a football strategy that I would like to automate and I'm not sure the best way to go about it.

I have set odds that I will take in the BTTS Yes market 10 min before KO for each football game. Each game has it's own unique odds to ask for based on my own modelling.

It's a set and forget value bet strategy that I would like to set up the evening before. I want to avoid money sitting in the market until just before KO otherwise too much of my bank gets eaten up with bets just waiting for hours especially on the weekends!

What's the best way to approach this. I want to automate it but it would require one rule per odds value and my head nearly exploded. I looked into excel but I found that just as complex.

Sounds like a job for a csv import

https://www.betangel.com/import-selections/

Set your selections\teams in the csv the night before and specify the odds\ranges as Stored Values. Then set up a CSV Import rule in your baf. Then you only need a few rules in your baf to check the Stored Value is in range, the Market and Selection Name match and enter.

There is a csv example template as part of the BetAngel installation

Holy Moly that looks complicated!

Any tips for a beginner trying this?

It's actually quite straight forward, and far easier than using Excel linked. You'll have a rule in your baf file to import the csv once, say the morning for that day. Each line in the csv represents the selection and you'll just need to set the team and the odds value you require. Then you just add further rows with different team names and differing odds using copy n paste.

Without all the example rows, I've created a very simple version for you. This will match the team name (* are wildcards i.e any characters) and set a Stored value called OddsRequired and give it the value in the next column. You can then use that Stored value for that Team in your Guardian rules, once you've created the one off import rule for the csv. Just be sure to use the exact team name that is in Betfair

The "E" in Col E denotes an Event level Stored Value so be sure to use an Event Level Stored value condition in your rule. You can obviously change that to a different value type if you like

I've had to upload it in Excel format as the forum won't allow a csv upload

So, in longhand you want your rules file to import the csv once and your entry rule would be:

IF BTTS market AND if StoredValue OddsRequired < Best Back Price THEN Place Lay\Back etc
