Thanks for the swift reply.

One more question, regarding the horse racing, on a few occasions it hasn't fired in a back bet. But has then in-play put a lay bet in, and resulted in losing the stake. on all races today think happened approx 3/4 times.

Is there a reason for this, is there something i need to do to prevent this?

I thought poss it was on races that were quite late going off, but cant be sure or if this would affect.

Or could i add something to say only put a lay bet in if there is already a back bet on??

Any help would be great

Regards
James
Most likely reason is you don't have Guardian refreshing the markets fast enough for the number of markets you have in it, this post explains how all that works and how to increase your refresh rates so the rules trigger optimally

Hi Dallas, could this be combined with your scratch trade rule if the lay is not matched in a certain time frame please? Thinking about exit strategies to limit losses if the trade goes against me!

Edit: Have set an incremental signal value on the lay bet to green up after 30 seconds if there is one unmatched bet on the market, thinking that will do it if the lay isnt matched :D
hi niko, im new to betangel, but have been looking at the automation. Was just intrested to see if the edit you made to file ( green up after 30 sec) worked well for you?

And how i would go about setting it up.

Are you importing it into Guardian as per the screenshot on the OP next to the download link?

I am relatively new to bots. I applied this bot to a race today using £10 liability. Back went in 14.5 @ 0.74 and lay [email protected]. Result was that P/L selection made £0.02 all other horses £0.42. If I'm laying liability at £10 and another selection wins, shouldn't I win £10 rather than £0.42. Sorry probably missing something obvious. Thanks in advance.

Because you are backing to a liability it works out the stake to win that amount, in your case it was a 74p bet @ 14.5, which would of won £10

You'd only win £10 if laying to a £10 liability and not closing the trade / greening up, ie a straight bet

Dallas, Thanks for the swift response. Why is the bot greening up as greening isn't selected in the parameters?

It's not greening up, its backing and laying with the same liability so removing any risk from that selection and ensuring a profit on all others
effectively closing the trade but putting the profits on all other selections rather than the one you traded and leaving zero risk on the one traded

Hi Dallas
Thanks for that
i have downloaded it.
in the remember order of favouritism rule
it says to place it in row 1 betfair order.
does it not need to be in order of fav or does it not actually matter?
regards
Richard

It doesn't matter, that's only relevant on this rule if you are using conditions - which your not so it can be left as the Betfair row 1

Rather than use ticks/percent and global settings, for in-play its best to use a rule to trigger a stop when a loss amount is reached
viewtopic.php?f=47&t=11488

On the signal tab of the rule if you set a signal on the market

Then on your lay bet rule add a 'Signal Set' condition to test the
Signal named (whatever you called it)
is NOT set with a value

That will stop the lay bet triggering if you've been stopped out via the green up rule

Dallas, thanks as always. Also, if I only want this bot to apply to races with more than 6 runners, how would I do that?
