Simple Bot Questions

[FrankColumbo]

Hello everyone

After a long gap, i have decide to try again at automated bots. I have a few questions that i couldn't find the answers too searching the forum.
Note: all amounts and odds are for readability - I am not not mad.

Q1. i would like to place £100 on a selection x of a race. I have a fill or kill bet setting that does what it is meant to do. I also have a rule that if there is greater than 0 zero matched bets on that selection, do not place another bet. This works fine most of the time. Sometimes, only £50 is taken and, as my rules state, it kills the remaining stake and does not enter the selection again. is there a way i can set this rule up so that it 'knows' there is £50 still left and places a fill or kill bet of £50?

Q2a Is there a way for Guardian to, each morning at x time, load UK and Ire races and then apply an automation rule to each of the markets?

Q2b Is there a way for Guardian to, each morning at x time, load UK and Ire races and then apply one of 3 automation rules to a market, the market choice will be defined by a pre set of rules? e.g. apply RuleBot1 to all Sandown races, apply RuleBot2 to all races between 1000 and 1700 etc

Q3 is there a thread(s), videos etc that discuss how to handle VAR / suspensions in a football match?

Q4 I have noticed that sometimes (i dont know the terminology) the available money can be really thin on top. e.g. back odds 3.05, available £100, back odds 3.10, available £1, back odds 3.15, available £1, back odds 3.25, available £1. Is there a way in bot rules I can ... er ... handle / ignore the thinness when automating an entry point?

Where I am at:
I have been recording data for a while, using that, I have made some hypothesis, apply them in practice mode (as expected) different outcomes, now I am i live (as expected) different outcomes again). I am using low stakes and am now not winning lots and not losing lots (averaged out to losing about £1.50 oer day), but the data i am getting is worth it!

I am goint to sneek in another question
Q5 Having listened to Peter and read forums etc. I 'know' that you shouldn't apply 1 strategy to all the events in 1 sport. I am currently doing so for purposes of getting data / results. In your opinion - is this approach wrong or a waste of time / money or do you think there is value in doing this while testing live with real money?

This means you are mad?

You can do something that creates a stored value (SV) that is £100 minus existing matched bets value, and then place a back bet at that SV.

Q2a Is there a way for Guardian to, each morning at x time, load UK and Ire races and then apply an automation rule to each of the markets?

No. You would need to investigate a separate macro to do this for you.

Q2b Is there a way for Guardian to, each morning at x time, load UK and Ire races and then apply one of 3 automation rules to a market, the market choice will be defined by a pre set of rules? e.g. apply RuleBot1 to all Sandown races, apply RuleBot2 to all races between 1000 and 1700 etc

Personal preference; I prefer having just one rulefile for everything. That rulesfile uses relevant conditions to apply different rules to different markets based on relevant conditions.

Q4 I have noticed that sometimes (i dont know the terminology) the available money can be really thin on top. e.g. back odds 3.05, available £100, back odds 3.10, available £1, back odds 3.15, available £1, back odds 3.25, available £1.

You could create an SV of the highest available price with a minimum of volume available and use that SV to place a bet.

Thank you Mr Edwards - off to investigate now.

I'd agree with Jamesedwards reply to this, it's much easier to amalgamate your rules and use conditions than have a different bunch of rules for tracks/distances/hurdle/flat/chase etc. The only outlier seems to be Lingfield during the summer, when it's a mixed card so you have to check. I think this year it's been 3 AW races then 3 or 4 flat races on mixed cards, but looking at Guardian/Market Info I don't think there's a way to know for sure unless you check Racing Post website to see if it's AW or flat.
