Betdaq Bot placing bets outside of all parameters.....

[Willygubbins]

I Have attached the bot it is set to fire within a one second window once on anyone selection, with the conditions on zero matched and zero unmatched bets in order to place the bet, but you can see from the log below that it places bets on selections out side of the time constraints and when it already has matched bets.......WTF is going on, it will only do his randomly as well......

Rule firing when it shouldn't.baf

Both the matched and unmatched bets condition rely on getting the updated info back from Betdaq before the rule is rearmed.

Instead try using 'Number of place bet triggers' is equal to 0

Thanks Dallas, I'll Give that a try.

Dallas, Ive set that but one thing worth pointing out is the rules are only set to fire once.

I've just had chance to look at your attached file, its because your triggering multiple bets simultaneously. What your going to have to do is change the arm times for each rule so
Back 2nd fav 00:00:18 - 00:00:17
Back 3rd fav 00:00:17- 00:00:16 etc

Along with the condition i advised earlier to stop once one of the rules has been triggered

Dallas Thanks, I'm not questioning your advice but trying to understand the logic, Why does it matter that the rules are set to fire at the same time as they are on diffrent selections with in the market and the order is fixed prior to the bet time. or is it just a quirk of the betdaq system?

I know your weren't questioning it i was just making sure i understood what you were doing so i could advise the best way to do it .

If i understand correctly then you want to trigger 1 bet on 1 runner (within your conditions) if so by having multiple rules armed at the same time means you could and will get bets on more than 1 should they meet your criteria, so the rearm times above will solve that.

It has to be done that way using Betdaq as it is limited in automation options compared to Betfair

Hi Just thought I would update, been running it for a month now and it has fired perfectly, i only employed the "Number of place bet triggers" with a view to adjusting the trigger times if that didn't do it, but there was no need. Thanks Dallas
