In-Play Tennis stats to Guardian using a script and API. Script and example baf

[mcgoo]

This is an awesome bit of coding .Thank you Sniffer66. 'Thought I would make some general observations re tennis trading after running a few bots

1. BF get the server wrong so often that you can't rely on coding/botting where the server status is key, in my opinion.The one or 2 times will destroy gains quickly. I have got around it by coding for price moves and guessing average tick moves without using the server status.One could, I guess, code better for this eventuality but it would test my diminishing grey matter and I have managed to work around it for now.If anyone has beaten/mitigated this issue with BA bot, please let me know (assuming I am not being too cheeky here )
2. I have noticed some stats e.g.: 1st Serve % is almost always different on Flashscore as opposed to Sofascore. One wonders who's right Some stats appear on Flashscore but not on Sofascore (not see the vice versa yet but presumably it could happen both ways)Flashscore doesn't appear to have an API so coding up a comparison would require web scraping (again please correct me if I am wrong here)
3. Being able to use SV's like this is a gift and gives one something concrete to automate off which is wonderful and thanks again to Sniffer66-great work my man.
4. Gottta say being able to run bots via BA is a gift too so thanks to you all on the BA team too (while I'm able to ) It has greatly assisted me with keeping myself occupied over the years (especially in the last couple) .Would have been great to be wildly profitable but I'll take the positives
5. Tennis trading is bloody nearly as hard as horse trading so I don't expect to be buying Ferraris but its great to see something run consistently and with solid reasons for entry and exit. Something I never got right with horses

Anyway, that's my 10c.All the best folks and thanks again

I appreciate the kind words Greg - glad it's helping you

Incorrect server is a bugger but thinking about it I could probably send the SS current server using the script then have a rule in Guardian to check it corresponds with the server in BA/BF. Will look into it and get back to you. Will have to build in a time threshold of some kind to account for the slight lag in getting the data from SS though. I'll let you know

In the interim I've gone the same way as you by looking for price moves and offsets but I'm probably missing out on a good few ticks going that route.

Would love to be able to try this out but YIKES. I think you have to be a coder to figure it all out. I managed to go back to the football threads, then download the two script files, and the two files from your google drive and from there I was lost and gave up.
Is there any way you can give a more basic explanation of exactly how to install and use this for those of us who don't know coding, please?

How do you get around this, I just went through a full match thinking I was unlucky haha. Realised towards the end of the game the server was wrong on BA.

Thanks, T
