WTAF has happened here this rule has been working all day then 300 loss in 4 races...help please
...the rule is the lay betting bot
...the rule is the lay betting botYou appear to be risking £100 to win £10 to £20. Most of these bets will win, but as you're risking substantially more than you can gain, you're always vulnerable to heavy losses.princemarkie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 6:20 pmWTAF ha happened here this rule has been working all day then 300 loss in 4 races...help please...the rule is the lay betting bot
I would advise you to use smaller stakes when testing new strategies. How are you choosing the horses you lay?

Not sure on your bot, looks like it's working fine but you've got your liability set to £100 and 3 of your selections won. I more noticed on your 1st web browser tab the YouTube one shows 'how to make money'. One thing I've learnt very quickly is making money is just an output of good, efficient trading along with your own psychology.princemarkie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 6:20 pmWTAF has happened here this rule has been working all day then 300 loss in 4 races...help please...the rule is the lay betting bot

No because you'll be chasing losses. Best thing to do is follow Derek's sound advice and lower your liability in your rules file to a amount your comfortable withprincemarkie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 6:56 pmyes they did...sorry...can anything be done to cover that outcome

I haven't watched the video but I think it's just an example of how to set up automation. You need to apply your own judgement, what races to use it on, what horses, etc.princemarkie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 6:41 pmit is set up for any selection https://youtu.be/leYeMaIB6xA

When you place a bet you have to accept you lose money when the bet loses. Betting is all about devising a strategy of winning more than you lose, not eliminating your losses altogether.
You didn't find 3 winners, they were 3 losing bets because you were betting on them not winning.princemarkie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 7:02 pmfair comment but i am not gonna lose sleep over a 100 quid....typical...find 3 winners and lose![]()
Two pieces of advice I can give you. Pick a sport that you know and are familiar with and don't start with a strategy that bets long odds on or lays at long odds against. Those bets you were placing need to win about 7 times in 8 to make a profit, which isn't gonna be easy.
