Hi

I have just started using Bet Angel on a trial basis.

I have spent 7 days solid watching and over watching training and user guide videos so that I make as few mistakes as possible.

I have learnt by a few and had what I thought was a nice rule that I wanted to test.

At first if I set a rule for a market and turned my computer off the market would not retain my rule. Please confirm this is true.

I then set up my rule again, selected my markets, left my computer on, went out and hey presto it all worked as planned.

I also found I could lay a market in running and the rule would still green up once a goal was scored and the market changed. Perfect.

Until 9pm last night Tenerife v Sporting Gijon (International Club Friendly)

I placed my bets as you can see from the screenshot in play. A goal was scored after 65 minutes when I would then expect it to green up. But know the bet rolled on until full time when it finished a draw and I lost my bet. The conditions should have easily been met at that stage and a green up should have easily happened. I looked at soccer mystic and the predicted draw price at 65 minutes would have been much higher than my average 2.8 I layed at.

Can you help explain what went wrong as I do not want this to occur again as I need to trust my rules working.

I had performed the same bets at least 8 times that day on various games and they all greened up perfectly.

I hope I can get a quick reply as I want to continue testing the software and am keen to buy it.

An international club friendly is probably not the best sort of match to put automation on.

I imagine it was fairly illiquid and they could have been feed problems or some other issue as to why the automation failed.

Typically you need to do a lot of debugging with automation to error trap all of the possible things that could go wrong. But generally I tend to stick to very liquid events where I can get clear high quality data, that makes the process a lot easier.
