hi rade
i was looking at the odds and i have my settings to min 3.00 and ticked always request lower and higher prices.
but as soon as the price reached 2.96 the bot sent out the bet.
now i thought that always request lower and higher price was if your setting is reached ie-3.00 then ask for lower/higher price
i am happy because the bet won and ended my betting day but the bot should have waited until the odds reached 3.00
i had mcbee2 bot in sim mode doing exactly the same system but i didn't have the always request lower/higher ticked and there was no bet
so is this a bug or does it need altering to if set odds = betfair odds then ask for lower/higher price.

Hi Mcbee,

Please see following forum topic for example how this works:
http://www.bfbotmanager.com/phpbb3/view ... ?f=3&t=130

In favorite bot, if this new adjusted price is within price range then bot will place bet. Betfair will match your bet at best possible odds (e.g. if bot asks for price 3.0 and available Lay price is 2.96 then Betfair will match bet at 2.96).

I really think that favorite bot does not have any bugs regarding this, but if this happened in your custom bot then please let me know and I will recheck that.

Regards,
Rade
