General discussion about Bf Bot Manager v3 software for Betfair, Betdaq and Matchbook betting exchanges

Hi everyone,

I have a strategy that I am currently monitoring which seems to be executing lay bets on odds higher than I wish despite using the current settings;

Strat - Lay 3rd favourite within min/max criteria, aslong as 1st favourite is within min/max criteria

Selection conditions;
- Min/Max selection (LAY price for favourite position 1 must be within the price range of 1.01 - 4)
- Min/Max selection (LAY price for favourite position 3 must be within the price range of 5.5 - 9)
- Bet type (runner with favourite position 3 is LAY only 1 bet allowed per favourite position)

However currently it seems some bets are executing with the LAY on 3rd Favourite at 15.0 odds which doesnt make sense.

Any help would be much appreciated, I am sure I am using the wrong selection conditions however I cant figure it out.

Cheers,
Wrighty

Hi Wrighty,

You are checking price range of "RUNNER by position" 3 and you are betting on "FAVORITE by position" 3. Those are two different runners. Take a look at your settings:

Rule "Min/max selection price" that is set to check price of 1st favorite is useless here as you are not betting on first favorite. If you want to make sure that first favorite is in this price range then you should use "Market conditions->Min/max REQUIRED price for selection" rule. Please see manual for details on each rule:

Please use simulation mode to test your settings. Once that is working well then use real mode with small stakes to test your settings again.

Regards,
