How smart is automation?

[Kai]

Trust me, I ain’t one to blow my money away so easily.

"in LUCK we trust and you probably loose enough to learn something profitable"

nevertheless here are the keys to the devil's kitchen .... shaun and derek just left the room holding the dragon's head
so be carefull the beast can still strike with a spiky tail

1. you need to store each runner P&L

2. export all stored values

3. re- introduce the values into the next market using the saved file

NB: i ve not done it before and unless you are guaranteed a match for any bet you place make sure to take sp.

otherwise enjoy the famous ride to NO mans land. ( there is probably better ways to do it )

Good effort decomez but there are simpler ways to do a bank transfer : Paypal.me/Kai

Hi guys

Yeah I’ve done quite a bit of research on martingale staking and seen it on quite a lot of test and nearly all of the time it leads to the poor house as it will blow a bank fast. Trust me, I ain’t one to blow my money away so easily.

But, I would like to know if the automation can do what I asked as I would like to try something out.

Thanks

To be fair to the OP if you're inexperienced is could sound like it's got it's merits, we're lucky enough to have decades of experience to draw on and I hope he doesn't take the comments too seriously. Its just meant to be a bit of fun and if we weren't basically friendly we'd just let him do it. I'd hate to think people were afraid to ask questions in case they got teased.

Tbf there's plenty of inadvisable things people ask for and they get help doing it. Is a martingale really much worse than wanting an in-running stop loss based on a cash amount ? It's those I dispair at more than things like this.

Yep, patience is a forgotten virtue these days

Like the infamous billionaire gambler Elag Nitram once said : "The Betfair Exchange is an instrument designed for transferring money from the impatient gambler to the patient trader."

Don't mind me, just here for the smartarse comments

Altho to be fair and serious for a moment, it's a bit of rabbit hole innit, that probably goes beyond the scope of this thread and the OP query. Because when swing trading I do sometimes employ an averaging approach that is akin to martingale despite being relatively risk-averse still, albeit in markets and situations where price cannot realistically move indefinitely in one direction, it always seemed to me like a sensible way to manage risk and reduce the overall impact of volatility if I can't work out the true extent of a particular move or overreaction due to its randomness, which later I found out is similar to DCA (dollar-cost averaging) in financials etc that does the same thing in a nutshell. There's probably enough there to devote a lifetime to it for those that want to go balls deep in those directions. However, with an outcome-dependent approach it doesn't really make much sense to do it IMO.

BTW to my mind any form of loss recovery is Martingale in principle. It all works fine until you get the totally unexpected long run of losers and watch your stakes increase exponentially. Believe me, I and many others on here have done it!

-trading is a rinsing process wheras betting is scooping one-
a trader has safety net cast out in case things go hywire , its much easier dig out of a hole.
the betor on the other will keep on digging hoping to strike some water that will float him back to safety ,not unless they meticulously study the terrain and knows when to stop digging.

BA is great for trading , live betting , dutching, bookmaking... etc
But if one is more interested in simple staking plans...there other softwares that are designed to do just that and are relatively mug oriented , hence easier to master.

manual traders will then go ahead and feed on that orderflow resulting from the big lump of martingaled juicy dump.

To give a simple answer to the title thread

Bet Angel's Automation is smart enough not to have an option that's guaranteed to blow bank after bank

In other words a betting tool can only be as smart as its user I'm sure there's a tool joke somewhere in there but can't seem to find it

Anyway I'll bite, to ubersimplify the "martingale" concept for the sake of Martingale OP #352 the issue here is obviously the unlimited downside and a very limited amount of upside, deal-breaker for any sensible person out there and a non-starter. But flip that concept around and if the downside has a clearly defined sensible limit and the upside is similar or higher, then it can look completely different, so either look for that or do something else.

Stupid generic valueless bets can't really be saved with clever staking and the loss recovery concept is pointless as well since you can't and don't want to avoid losses in the first place, I think the best loss recovery system is a good night's sleep actually However, you can have clever staking in terms of averaging and managing an open position whereas the goal here is to trade the actual market volatility, not chasing your losses around.

I’ll leave the above where it is. Good luck

Well, thanks for the very informative responses today guys. It’s been helpful and fun.
No need to worry about hurting my feelings, I quite like the advice as you are only warming me against an inevitable defeat that you all have come across.

As Dallas says, it’s too smart to help blow a bank.
I’ll stick to doing it manually then as previously done and Ill keep you updated on my “success” and report back

Yeah, I’ve seen that and I totally understand.
The thing is I’m not actually using a martingale strategy just a staking plan & I’m more interested in learning If automation and recognise that a strategy has had a win in the previous race and either stop do there are no more trades placed since I would have the strategy across all races or at least reduce the stake to 0 to stop a trade in the next races.

I’ve been doing very well as my average winning odds are 12.0 but this is a manual system and I’d like to automate it so I can be doing other things

Well that's a bit disappointing then, false alarm boys
