I just wondered if it's possible to filter coupons based on odds. For example to only display football matches where:
Match Odds for a draw between 3.5 and 4.0 AND
U2.5 goals < 2.0
The bulk market data that can be retrieved from betfair doesn't contain current odds, so that test could not be performed against all soccer markets en masse (and betfair wouldn't appreciate us downloading market prices for every single soccer market just in case).
Your best approach would be to filter the markets by volume at the event level to exclude the markets that'll have little interest in them and therefore not good for trading. Also filter by time, to limit the total number of markets.
You could then add those markets to Guardian and use a collection of Bet Angel's features to highlight the matches you're looking for.
To highlight them:
Create an Automation rule for the Match Odds markets and another for the U2.5 goals markets (using a keystroke to apply the appropriate rules based on market types). Those rules could test the odds and create a Stored Value at the event level when the odds meets your criteria. So you get a 'GOOD_MATCH_ODDS' stored value set by the Match Odds rule and a 'GOOD_OU' stored value set by the OU2.5 market. You could then set an Alert based on whether both stored values have been set for an event and use the Watch List to show the Alert against the market's you'd consider suitable to trade.
Once those rules have been created and the keystroke configured, you'd be able to find markets of interest very quickly at the start of each session.
