Football - knowing the CURRENT SCORE

[sibur]

Hmm, this isn't working quite as expected. By bot picked up the stored value GameMins and triggered correctly on 60 mins. However, I also would like my bot to trigger on the current score. To this end, my bot is set to place a lay bet at Betfair in 'position 1 (sorted in order of favouritism)'. In this case, however, the favourite score at 60 mins was not the current score. How do I use the code in the baf to trigger my bot to place a lay bet based on (i) the minute of the match, and (ii) the current score at this time?

Any advice welcome. Many thanks.

I'm not exactly sure what the conditions of you placing the lay bet is. If it was purely on time and you wanted to be certain you were laying the current score then what I would do is apply to every selection and in the conditions you would use the following

check market type is one of the following CORRECT_SCORE //necessary if you were using multiple markets
'Score' for the event <= x (or >=y) // optional condition if you only want to bet on certain scores etc
'Score' for the event = The id's selection on betfair (against the current selection for EVERY) // ensures only the current score selection being used

'GameMins' for the event >= z
'Half' for the event = 2 //optional only apply if 2nd half
Matched bets for the market = 0 (to prevent this reapplied after first bet)

Thank you, Sibur. I have applied this to my bot. I have a couple of matches coming up later this week that meet my criteria for this strategy so I will let you know how I get on.

This has now worked successfully on 3 trades, combining your baf and my bot to enter the market at 60 mins and lay the current score. I now need to test over an extended period and refine my strategy to choose the most appropriate matches.

Thanks again Sibur

Hi Sibur,

Could I use the "Currentscore" stored value in a different market from the Correct Score Markets?

Basically I want to use "Currentscore" in the Over Under 3.5 Market, as in do automation in the over 3.5 market based off of the "CurrentScore" value.

As you say in your first post that the Correct Score Markets have to be selected... Does that mean just to display values in custom columns or would I need to do something extra to get "Currentscore" usable in Over Under 3.5 Market or could I simply just do this:

In the example below I have just opened a Condition Window on the first rule of your bot, just to demonstrate my suggestion, my intention would be to setup a condition like below in my own Bot as a secondary with your bot in the first Rule Column

Something tells me it's not that easy

[sibur]

Absolutely yes you can because it's an Event SV . Make sure you have the Correct Score market included on the guardian list and all your markets have my BAF included

[smgreyuk]

Oooh great stuff, thanks Sibur

[sibur]

Make sure you download latest BAF on P5

[smgreyuk]

Yes, I have version 5.2

Great work on this thank you.

I am new to automation and it does not help after having brain surgery a while ago.
Sorry for being a bit dumb but I am looking to put a lay bet oni at half time on a market av the current score for 10 mins. For instance if it was 1-0 I would want to put a lay bet on over 3.5. Simply can this be done using your file.? It’s great what you have done. Getting the score on is a game changer.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Will try and help Casbian..
To decide if it's half time you will need the Half time score or the half time market in your guardian list.
You will also need the correct score market in the guardian list to determine the correct score.
If you're betting on over 3.5 goals you will need that market too. That's 3 different markets in your list and all of them need my automation file applied to them.

In your own BAF you need to decide when it's half time, and the current score before placing your bet on over 3.5

Create a lay bet rule on over 3.5 as follows.
In play from 0-2 hours
Runs once
Conditions:
Current market type is over under 3.5 goals
Stored value: Score (event)=5 (IE 1-0)
Stored value: Half (event)=0 (IE half time)

Give this a go. If it doesn't work as expected then you'll need to do a bit of debugging by using the log and seeing what is happening.

Hope it helps


plus any other conditions you want

Thank you so much. i will give this a go next week,

Knowing the correct score is a game changer, it really is.

Remember that it's not an exact science but at half time it's more likely to be correct as odds settle for the break. Good idea to leave it a couple of minutes after half time flag is set I would think.
