Changing rule conditions while rule is loaded in other markets

[Barrakee]

Hi all,

I am relatively new to the world of automation. I've tried searching through the forums but can't find an exact answer to my questions.

I am using BA automation to place a number of SP bets for me based on some fixed odds conditions. I need to place a number of bets (e.g. 10) over a horse racing card, on specific runners. The bets have a condition that the fixed odds at jump time must be between certain values. These values are different for each selection.

My question is, if I was to have Rule 1 loaded for a selection in Race 1, odds between say $2 and $3. Then for race 2 I want to apply the same rule but for a different runner (obviously) and different odds range (say $5 to $7). If I use the same rule and alter the odds to 5-7, will that apply those changes to the rule for Race 1? If so, does that mean that for each card I need 10 different rules, all similar but with different odds ranges (and selections) in the conditions?

Thanks

You don't really want to be changing the bot on a per race basis (as yes it will apply the new logic)...

A solution is to get the bot to read in a csv file which contains the selections names and min / max prices which the bot picks up.

Or you could modify the one click screen to allow entry of Min / Max stored values by runner which the bot picks up.

Or do both and the later allows you to modify min / max on the fly without changing the csv file.

Thanks. I'll have a look into the csv idea. That sounds like exactly what I need. I'll see if I can find any threads on it.

Well, I've done a fair bit of searching around to do what I'm looking for. The only thing I've really found is someone else wanting to do the same thing and being told they have to create a heap of rules (so that no one rule is running on multiple markets simultaneously) and alter the fixed odds to suit each rule.

I've tried this but it is fairly clunky. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You need to use a an external CSV file as per Sionas post. That would contain the name of the the selection, and set Stored Values for each selection that contain your min\max\stake etc values. These would then pass to a single line in your BAF using those values in your entry rules and conditions. That means your baf is very simple, and can be applied to all relevant markets

Thanks, still a lot to learn by the looks of it.
