HI
Can you explain how do make a selection for a forecast. So to place a bet that 1st favourite comes first AND 2nd favourite comes second. I've loaded the forecast martket type already.

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Sorry, there is no option to pick forecast selections by using favorite positions from win market.

Thanks for letting me know.
How would I place a bet for 1-2 runner positions? Or how would I place a bet for the lowest odds for a forecast?
Is this possible?

Thanks

To bet on specific selection at forecast you can use "Bet type by RUNNER position" like explained in following help article:
https://www.bfbotmanager.com/en/help/kn ... x-position

If you want to bet on lowest priced selection then that would be first favorite at forecast market In that case use "Bet type by FAVORITE position" rule.

Please use simulation mode to test it and read manual for details on how those rules work and how to set bet type:

Did you check strategy Reports tab to see the reason why strategy is not placing bets? There is also Troubleshooting section in the manual that should help you debug your strategy, please read it:

If you are using real mode then your bet size might be too low.

Forecast market has 30 selections, so rule for Min/max number of runners will not be satisfied.

Thanks, good spot for the number of runners, I also changed the traded amount because forecast market has a low volume. Bet size was fine, I always use small bet sizes because simulation results aren't realistic.

Thanks :-)
