[flanna]

Is it possible for BA to "drip feed" large bets into the market?

Yes, I want to automate it.

Before using BA I was using a similar product from one of your competitors (Bet Trader...Evolutio... ). It had the capability to inject a large bet bit by bit into the market. That's what I like to do.

You can do it using Excel or with some clever use of automation, but maybe it's time we introduced a dedicated drip feed tool. If you can tell uys what you specifically looking for I am sure we can introduce one.

I want to be able to put large back bets (£500+) on outsiders (often 15.00 or higher) without disturbing the market too much.
So the bet should be divided into "x" drips and the drips spread over "y" seconds (or minutes). It's as simple as that. There could also be a check that there is enough time before the "off" for the cycle to complete with options to either recalculate to fit the time available or leave the time as it is and (a) ignore unplaced money or (b) put all unplaced money into the market "z" seconds before the "off".

We have a similar tool for offsetting called batching that performs that same sort of thing but requires a 'feeder' bet. We could probably mod the batching to perform the same function. We will have a look at it.
