New beta version of Bet Angel v1.57.0 - Now on general release

[Dr Ginhog]

I was already thrilled with the seamless generic automated * * * * SVTYPE SVNAME VALUE now we have text filtering to booth.
A lot to get through here. Are we already at the Superconducting,quantum computing,nuclear fusion,unlimited battery cycle version. If not very close

I don't know if this is a 1.57 related issue or not, probably not but it's the first time I have encountered it ever, not just since installing 1.57. I leave my computer and BA on overnight but this morning when requesting the Desktop to see what has been discussed recently I was met by ...

"Error 504 Ray ID: 68fefbc06c0f0796 • 2021-09-17 02:42:49 UTC

Any thoughts?

Edit: all OK after a shutdown and re-open of BA.

All the options are available when storing a value as text.

can we use the obtained values to perform- stored value list ranges - calculations ?

thanks again

If you have Microsoft Edge installed on that PC then in v1.57 it'll be using that as the embedded browser rather than Internet Explorer, but that error probably would have occurred with either browser. The Desktop page auto-refreshes from time to time and it sounds like at some point overnight the refresh failed to connect and that would stop the auto-refresh too. If you see the message again, try pressing the home button at the bottom of the Desktop page to see if it returns to normal or whether the link is completely broken until the next restart.

Not directly, as the feature to 'store a value calculated from a range of values' requires the source value to be in numeric form. However, you could set a numeric stored value using a text stored value as the source and it'll attempt to parse the text into a number. Then you can use that number to perform your range calculations as you normally would.

You were previously talking about trying to use the text truncation on a number, so could you explain in more detail what you are trying to achieve?
If you were for instance using the text features to round to a certain number of decimal places, you might be better off keeping everything as a number, multiplying by a factor, rounding and then dividing by the factor again.

thanks for the clarification.

yes i have a couple of bots using that formula rounding down to 1 decimal place.

i am trying to make a list of values collated from different selections , with different combinations covering all possible outcomes.

this should generate multiple lists with equal number of entries each holding a group of nominated selections that differ from each other by 1(0ne).

abcd
bcde
cdef
defg
,.............etc

the values of of abcd will be added to one stored value A, and those ones of bcde to a stored value B

-will then compare values A against B to trigger a bet.

i prefer to truncate or round 1 decimal place so as to capture the quick changes . it slows down time and allow the bot to trigger.

appreciate your assistance
much thanks

Loving the copy and paste option for rules.

Just combined four rules files into one in seconds.

Hats off to the development team!

Yes I see what you are doing and why truncation would be useful to isolate a particular value. As long as abcd are actually numbers rather than letters, then converting between numeric SV and text SV and back to numeric again should work fine.

Yes they are numbers .

Thank you for an update well rounded

I thought SV's storing text was going to enable me to resolve a long standing shortcoming. I run many bet placing systems and always spend too much time deciphering/allocating the results around my systems so that I can monitor the performance of each system. But I fear not because I hadn't studied the other half of my 'solution'.

My first thought was great ... have two SV's activated by the bet triggering rule that hold the name of the system and the bet ID No. then concatenate the two SV's into one and add to the log. Then extract the SV from the log and match it to the Bf Bet History report. But I didn't realise the Bet Information is limited to matched bets and not bets placed so unless the bet is instantly matched (unlikely in my case because bets are placed at reverse prices) it cannot return the information I require.

Am I missing something, is there a way to create an SV consisting of "[GivenSystemID].[BfBetID]" or any other way to definitively allocate a specific bet to the specific triggering rule? It would make auditing so much easier.

Betfair has customerStrategyRef which would be enormously useful if implemented

"Text Comparison condition has been enhanced to allow comparison against a Selection Name and Text held in a Stored Value"

Would be very helpful to be able to compare the Market Name / Selection Name also against a / a list of Stored Value/s

Thanks

That particular condition only compares against a list of entered text.

However, you can already store the Market Name and the Selection Name into Text Stored Values.

i.e. Run a rule once to create MKT_NAME to hold the Market Name and SEL_NAME to hold a selection name.
Then you can use those Stored Values whenever you need them in the rest of the rules.
So you'd use a Stored Value condition to test that MKT_NAME equals STORED_VALUE1 in your example.
If you want to test against STORED_VALUE2 too, then you'd duplicate the condition and add them to a group so that only one of the conditions needs to be true.
