Lay the Fav

[Mattlindsay]

Hi Dallas,

My programme is working well but theres a couple of outstanding issues I'd like to sort before I go live.
There are five screen shots I'm sending you.
1. Hopefully in this order.
Dourado has partally matched on the lay side before going on to lose, is there any way the autoclose will still work when a bet is partally matched?
2. The second one has greened up but added an extra lay bet in for Singlefampayment (which went on to lose) how do I stop exta orders being placed in the market when everything is Green?
3.Hersigh has had a back bet placed on it but its not autoclosed and greened up meaning I would lose £40+ on the trade, is there any way to guard against this so it does not happen? could the programme use another horse to green up on if that horse is at the first horses autoclose price in running, if the programme detects the price has gone higher on the original horse without greening?
4. Up in lights has partally matched at the autoclose price is there any way we could use point 3 above on another horse in running at the same price to ensure I don't make a loss?
5. This has done the same as point two but Dream of Summer has gone on to win the race meaning I lose over £200 on the race when both bets had origanally greened up.

I'm having problems uploading the immages so I will do this in my next email to you.

Thanks as ever for your help

Hi Dallas

I've enclosed a copy of my programme as it is now for you to view. I can't upload the screen shots I'm having nightmares saying the file is too big.
Would there be any way to advise me on what I have told you without seeing the screenshot? its a longshot!!!

There's a thread on screen recorders. I use Flashback express (free), some others use Camtasia etc. etc.....
Tou can do/use/peruse/snapshot at leisure.

If its a offset bet it can only be cancelled or manually moved, if its a green up rule it can be set to trigger a number of times untill completly matched

The second one has greened up but added an extra lay bet in for Singlefampayment (which went on to lose) how do I stop exta orders being placed in the market when everything is Green?

If only it was that easy we would all be backing the outsiders and instantly greening up using the odds of the fav

Hi Dallas,

Hope you've had a pleasent Christmas, Dallas I've devised a pre off bot, which I would like to use from 5 minutes before the off using fill or kill (so it won't cost me anything if it's not matched) I have set it to kill after 30 seconds if not matched.... My first question have I done it correctly?
One thing I'm unsure about is will the bot continue running when the first trade has either filled or killed, as I would like it too untill the time set for it to exit.
As you can see I have done two bots in one one to lay the fav and one to back the fav both to green up on one tick.
Would you give me some pointers to say if it will work and guidence to may it work.

As always your help and guidence is greatly appreciated

I look forward to hearing from you

There is a few minor issues with it, If you download this bot it will do what your wanting - just change the selection the back and lay rules are applied to from Guardian noms 1 to Betfair order of favourtism 1

Hi Dallas,

I mistakenly deleted this bot below and have had to re build it but my issue is I can't get it to fire.
The premis is simple a lay bet of £200 goes in between 2 - 5 seconds after the event has started to then green up 4 ticks lower.
The stop loss is set at 120 ticks and the green up function is asked to green up so I'd win £5.
Could you advise what needs changing to enable the bot to work properly.

Thanks as ever.

You have a condition 'trade profit with greening' is >£5.00

[Mattlindsay]

Hi Dallas,

I've done what you said in your last email and also added a fix order in as well but it won't fire and put a bet in the market can you help.

Between 2-5 seconds in race the bot should fire once putting a lay bet in then it should green up a further 4 ticks in. If the horse does not reach that the stop loss is activated at 120 ticks it should then green up with a profit of £5.

That's it but it wont work.

Help!! Please

You have nt removed the condition detailed above so still same reason

Hi Dallas

Thanks for the information last night, I added the green information to my bot but its still placing extra lay bets when I have greened up, would you mind having a look at my bot and suggesting ways I can stop this. I may have written it wrong!!! its done this in around 12 races so far today.

I did not use the side to red up as if I set the bot to red up at -£10 it may do this in running before it makes its move to the front of the race shortening its odds, plus I have the green all function to cover this.

Unless when the Green up function is used and the horse comes from almost tailed off to win meaning I would lose thousands could it be used then to prevent this happening?

Your advise as ever is greatly appreciated.

[Dallas]

The bot you have uploaded has only been set to trigger one time on the fav within a 3 sec window so you should nt have more than 1 trigger regardless of any green up profit conditions used.

[Mattlindsay]

It seems to be putting in the back bet in which is fully mtched then laying it off no problem but as soon as the first lay price has been matched it then puts an identical lay bet in again thus making me very negative on that horse and very posertive on all the others, it will be something and nothing but its driving me mad !!!! as I feel i'm very close to having a profitable bot but I can't work out where I'm going wrong.

Help!!!
