Hi, I currently use the BQ Bot for placing my proform tip selections in the Win only market. I would like to also start placing the same bets in the Place market. I have set up my Tips to import for Win and Place, and I can now see that the new tips for the Place market have "_PLACE" after the tip name. Do I need to add this "_PLACE" to the name of the tip in the 'bet on imported selection/tips' section of the bot?
If that is the case would a wildcard work, i.e. *_PLACE to bet on all imported place tips? Or do I require to set up every single strategy again with _PLACE after the tip name in order for them to place the Place bets?

Hi Cadmynkey,

Do I need to add this "_PLACE" to the name of the tip in the 'bet on imported selection/tips' section of the bot?
Yes, you should. At "Staking plans->Bet on imported selection/tips" you should set tipster/provider name.

If that is the case would a wildcard work, i.e. *_PLACE to bet on all imported place tips?
No.

Or do I require to set up every single strategy again with _PLACE after the tip name in order for them to place the Place bets?
Yes. You have to be confident that tipster/provider name from Menage tips is the same at on "Staking plans->Bet on imported selection/tips".

Thanks for your reply. Interestingly when I look at the imported tips in the list, it has "tip1_PLACE" (uppercase), but exporting those tips to a csv file outputs the tips as "tip1_place" (lowercase). So to test I have put both upper and lower case text in the staking plan setting to see which actually triggers the bet.
