Hi guys, I'm brand new at all these. I've purchased the trial version of Bet Angel, hoping I can use it to bet for me, using simple rules. I will write down an example of what I want and all I need from you is to tell me if something like this is achievable using this software.
So, let's assume I want BA to bet for me,automatically,on any in-play soccer match, placing the stake X, between the 58th and 62nd minute, if the score is 0-0,on the correct score 1-0, if the odds are between are between 4.5 and 5 and let it run till the end of the game. (it's an idiot example, maybe,but this is the kind of thing I would like BA to do for me...)
I kindly ask you to tell me if the software is capable of doing this, or I simply should give it up.
Much appreciated !

Yes, you can do that, either through BA automation or Excel, both of which you set up on Guardian

The only issue is with automatically having access to the correct score and time elapsed as BA has many issues with obtaining this info and free of charge

However, because football kicks off at set times, it is possible to predict with reasonable accuracy when 58-62mins has been played. It's also possible through tracking 0-0 current back price, or LTP to see if the score is currently 0-0 or not

Firstly, thank you for the fast reply... then,I'm really confused, as I really see no way of doing this by the means of Automation Rules Editor!... I've been fiddling with it and I find the programming options quite
limited... it could, probably, be done in Excel, but it's beyond my abilities :oops:
I will stick to wasting my time in front of the computer...

EDIT: Or maybe not... :P I think I managed to create the right Excel file, two questions, though:1. The workbook is limited to only 10 sheets ?!? if I want to load all the events of a day (say, 152...) what should I do?... and 2.Is there a easy way to select a specific market of all day events, without dragging them one by one into the Guardian?

The workbook is not limited to 10 sheets. You can add as many as you like. Although you may need to save and re-open the excel sheet in order for Guardian to see the extra sheets.

There is a video here that shows how to add multiple markets - http://www.betangel.tv/video/trading-on ... s-football

I would not recommend adding 152 markets however. Even a computer with high specifications may will struggle with the amount of data that not only Excel is storing but Guardian is storing also.

Also, if you have that many markets remember Guardian is not refreshing the data all the time but cycles through them. For example, if you have 60 markets and the Guardian refresh is set to 1 second then each market is refreshed once per minute. Any instructions in the sheet will also only be acted upon once per minute also.
