Signal when Goals are Scored Guardian Automation Bot

[Dallas]

Hi Dallas

My first post on here! I am looking at automation for an O2.5 strategy and I am not sure if your signal file is what I am looking for. For my method I am looking to place a back bet in play before 20 mins when price reaches 2.00. However if a goal is scored before that price is reached I want any orders to be cancelled or for Bet Angel to exit the market completely. Will your signal help achieve this?

Very new to automation, hopefully I will get my head around it quickly!

Yes this can be done using the O/U2.5 rule file. All you need to do is add your back bet rule and a few condtions to the file.

Once downloaded and imported into guardian click on the 'Edit rules file' and click the 'green plus' icon to add a new back bet rule type

Then use the following settings for the rrst of the rule

General Tab
Armed Relative to In-Play time
from 00:00:01
till 00:20:00 (or what ever time you want to use)
Applied to Betfair Row 1 (assuming you want to back unders, if backing overs use Betfair Row 2)

Paramters Tab
'Place at' 3rd Best Market price (this will increase your chance of being matched soon as it triggers)

Conditions Tab
'Signal Set Condition'
The Signal Named 'goal' NOT set with a Value

Fixed odds Condtion
Last Traded Price
Of selection
Is 'Less' Than 2.0

That now places a back bet only during the first 20mins and only if a goal has NOT been scored and the odds are below 2.0

Obvioustly try in Practice mode untill your satisfied its doing as you want, any probelms let me know

Thanks Dallas, seemed to set that up okay and will practice with it to make sure it works. Got strategies for O1.5, O3.5 too so should be able to edit and save new automations for the various conditions. A great help, thanks so much!

Hi Dallas,
I've tied myself in knots trying to work out how I can activate a trigger based on the number of goals scored by the home team, in the Correct Score market.
EG, lay AOHW if score is 2-0.
Any thoughts please?
Cheers

Just what to check what you mean by AOHW?
is it Lay away only if home winning 2-0?

Mate,

I aim to lay Any Other Home Win. Either entering or exiting after, say, 2 goals by the home team.

Give this a try in practice mode, ive never done this on the CS market so not 100% sure of the expected movement of the 2-0 odds so this may need tinkering with.

Basically to start with if the odds of 2-0 go to 800.0 or greater a signal is set to abort the rule (this would mean the score is either 0-1 or 1-1)

At the same time if a goal is scored and the 2-0 score line falls 10 or more ticks (row 6) then a signal is set, once this has happened twice ie, should be 2-0 providing the first signal 'Abort' has not been set then it will lay AOHW (row 17)

The first part should be fine its just how many ticks the 2-0 socre line will drop depending on the odds at K.O and the time during the match

Any problems let me know

Hey Dallas,
I gave it a whirl! I applied it randomly trying to jag a home team in the mood for a goal fest, but, struggled to get a team that could hit a barn at 5 paces.
However, for those that weren't shanking em, the triggers appeared to work well!!
I will continue to trial it and report back to you.
Thank you very much for the help!
Stay tuned...

Hi,

Thanks again to Dallas for the great work on the signals.

The attached looks to be working fine, basically wait until 15 mins of a match where the goal expectancy is high, then back at 15,25 and 35 mins. Exit for green on any goal. Exit at half time for a loss (if no goal scored).

I am having trouble with the "safety nets" though. So, ensuring that the back bet is made, but only once (actually I think that the current set of conditions are OK) but for the greening up, I had it arm multiple times, and I must have done this wrong since it just kept backing/laying and eroding the position.

What is the correct way to have greening done so that it does it multiple times to ensure it's properly exited? Many thanks for the help.

If anyone looks at this and sees other areas to improve/errors please let me know.

Happy Christmas all.

If its a general question and/or relates to one of the example bots its often better to post directly to the thread its to do with so i know which one your refering to and the answer could be of use to other in the future, but if its something that you dont want to post to the forum then yes you can PM me although it will be after xmas before ill be able to reply now.

Apologies for the basic newbie question, but I'd be grateful if someone could explain why the attached rule does not match any bets. Basically, the rule is looking to back under 2.5 goals when there is 1 goal between 2 and 25 minutes (and then offset). I suspect its something to do with the 'row 1' in the General & Conditions bit of the Goals for Unders rule. If you have the ladder view set on Reverse does this affect whether you should choose Row 1 or Row 2, or does the Reverse setting not apply to Guardian but manual betting only. Thanks

You're testing to see if row 1 (which is always the row for "Under 2.5 goals" regardless of your ladder settings) is trading at 15 ticks below its price 65 seconds ago. But odds are only going to move that fast if a goal is scored - and if a goal is scored then the "Under 2.5 goals" price will go up, not down.

[sausage]

Thanks Shakespeare, so I just need to change the 'Historic Relative Odds Condition' to plus 15 ticks not minus 15 ticks? Do I keep the Selection A last traded price now as 'less than'. (I only want to trigger the bet if a goal is scored). Thanks again, appreciate it.

[shakespeare]

If you change the "minus" to "plus" and the "less than" to "greater than", the bot should fire if the odds rise by more than 15 ticks in 65 seconds. That will (almost) always be when a goal is scored. So you'll be backing the "Under 2.5 goals" selection after a goal is scored.

This means that your strategy is to back that selection when the price has just shot up, and look to trade out for a profit a few minutes later as the odds start falling again; or hope that no further goals are scored till the end of the game, so you win your back bet. If that's what you want to do then the changes above should enable you to do it.
