Hi,

I have created a bot to use on laying horse selections to cover both pre-race and in-play scenarios. I would like the bot to lay to a liability for two scenarios;

If the price condition is met prior to the race start time
If it is not met, to leave a keep bet in-play unmatched at the highest point of my target price range to hopefully be matched in-play.

Attached are screen shots of the bot I have built so far. I am confident on the first point but would like a double check to ensure the second half (which is more likely based on my selections) will work.

Obviously if the bet doesn't get matched before or in-play, then nothing will happen which is fine. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Jockeyp,

You are placing bets before start time, so turn off option to check prices before in play as bot needs to check price at time of bet which is already before in play.

Your bets are set to be placed at available Lay price that must be in price range of 1.5 - 4.0.

Please test it carefully with small stakes in simulation mode first.

Thanks. If the horse I am laying has odds say at 7.0 and its SP is, for example say 6.2, will the bot still work to place an unmatched bet set to keep in-play if its price comes down to 4.0 in running?

Or do I need a second bot linked to this one to cover the in-play portion of what I would like it to do?

Thanks

Your strategy is set to bet only before in play when BSP is unknown. There is nothing in your strategy that would check BSP or use it.

Your bets are set to be placed at available Lay price that must be in price range of 1.5 - 4.0.

You can adjust Time to bet to allow your strategy to bet during in play or you can create second strategy for that. Please use simulation mode to test your settings and to see how it will work.
