Greyhound BSP betting strategies

Hi,
Looks good but remember lack of liquidity .Did you do all day racing or just concentrate on the afternoon when liquidity is at it's best ?

Hey @tc2580, I am running a similar greyhound BSP strategy that should be +ve EV in theory. However in practice, I am losing some edge due to 'missed' bets, either not getting money on runners I should be, or ending up taking BSP when it is below my predicted odds.

I have automated to take BSP under certain conditions, but haven't found the optimal way to ensure all selections are taken at correct prices. What is your strategy for ensuring that all correct bets are taken?

Cheers

Hi Folks
Only my humble opinion but automated strategies usually end in tears .Semi automate and keep your eye on the ball (or horse )>

You want to use a LimitOnCloseOrder where the 'Bets are matched if, and only if, the returned starting price is better than a specified price', I assume BA can do this?

Ah yes, I can see this in the Betfair API, will have a dig around in BetAngel to see if it is surfaced anywhere, cheers!

Edit: For anyone reading with similar interests, I believe you need to use the SP Bets Limits parameters.
