Ok, so new to betangel and been running some back the favourites to win at under 1.1 odds. Just testing the water at the moment and going for high strike rate.

Now is it me or does the betangel system only work when my laptop is on and running???

Scenario....Setup my My Guardian rules 2:45 pm approx and monitored it for 2-3 hours. All was well and guardian kicked in when my conditions were matched.

Then I went out for a few hours but continued to watch my betfair app for matched/unmatched bets.....nothing happened...Strange i thought!


I would think that guardian rules would kick in whether or not the program was running but could someone please confirm this please?

Thanks for not laughing too hard!!

Yes, Bet Angel needs to be running and have an active connection to Betfair for it to retrieve market updates and send bets etc when required.
This means you need to ensure you also have hibination/sleep mode disabled
