Hi Rade.

Just wondered if you could cast your eye over the strategy below as it doesn't appear to be firing. I have signed up to and have activated the Inplay data.

Footy Lay Over 1.5.gz

(1.95 KiB) Downloaded 655 times

.

To explain, I would like the bot to lay over 1.5 goals if the score is 0-0 and at least £1000 has been matched.

Many thanks

Hi Yorkieuk,

You should remove Default bet type as that will allow betting on all selections. Please read following article on how to set bet type properly:
https://help.bfbotmanager.com/article/4 ... -to-bet-on

Make sure you contact Inplaytrading and ask them to allow 2 logins for your account. One for you and one for the bot.

In simulation mode min/max traded amount will not work as Betfair does not provide that information for simulation mode. You will need to use real data to make that rule work. So please remove it while using simulation mode.

You should NEVER remove Overrounds and Back/Lay Ratio that are added by default to each strategy. Please see following article on why those are important:
https://help.bfbotmanager.com/article/4 ... -lay-ratio
https://help.bfbotmanager.com/article/3 ... overrounds

Then try again and it will work.

Regards,
Rade

Hi Rade,

Many thanks for the guidance, which I have followed and the strategy is placing bets. The second stage of this system was intended to place a lay on Over 2.5 if one goal is scored. The second bet should use the liability of the first bet as the stake plus the initial stake so if a second goal is scored then a profit is still achieved.

The issue appears to be that the second strategy isn't realising that the first has been placed even though I selected to place only if the first strategy has bet on the same event.

Below are the pair of strategies and any guidance you can offer would be gratefully received

Hi Yorkieuk,

It is not possible for second strategy to know stake of first strategy or any other bet value (price, stake, bet type etc.) e.g. first strategy could be set to bet on all selections at that market. So there is no option for that.

Second strategy can only place bets if first strategy has bets on same event that are matched/unmatched etc. but it cannot use stake or any other values that first strategy used.

You seem to have same bet type problems with second strategy. Have you read help article that I sent you? You should remove default bet type and read that article carefully so that you set bet type only for selections at which you want to bet.

Second strategy does not have any stake value set so it will not place any bets. Each strategy must have basic values set, this is explained in following help article:
https://help.bfbotmanager.com/article/4 ... c-strategy

Please use simulation mode to test your strategies and learn how to create new strategies.

Regards,
Rade
