It did not fire a single Lay bet and is set to do that at 5mins.
As I had three bets in the race I turned off the Lay bot with 2mins to go and manually traded them out to £10 each.
As you can see Betfair did not do what I wanted.
---------------------
Redorange was taken at 7.20 and layed at 6.60.
It did not go to SP and was a loser so a "push"
__________________________________________
Rajeteriat was taken at 2.86 and went a bit higher at SP 2.87.
It only layed £9.81 of the £10, so I lost £0.19 on this horse
-------------------------------------------------
Siegan was Taken at 7.80 and drifted to 9.27 at SP.
This also did not place the full £10 only placing £7.98 at SP. I gained £2.00 on the drifter!
_________________________________________
Remember I manually had to trade out and placed a £10 bet to settle at SP
RESULT: £86.00 lost and £87.81 won = +£1.81
Believe it or not that is NOT what I wanted
I wanted both the losers to Bet £10 and Lay £10 so they would have both "pushed". No loss or gain.
The winner was a drifter and wanted both £10 on back (7.80) and £10 on lay (9.27) .
Result: 2 x Push... 1 x win £68.00 1 x Loss 92.70 = minus £24.70
OK, I would have lost this race because the winner was a drifter, but that is what I want.
Researching my bets over 2 years on the winners I place shows they go down in price by over a 2:1 ratio. So I want to "Push" the losers and stand the loss on winners when they drift and gain when they are bet down (over 67% of the time).
I am showing over 1000 points profit over a period of 2 years with over 12,000 bets placed. IF i could do this. In the past 2 years I have just simply been betting them and beating the BSP BUT having long, long, longer losing runs.
With my strategy I wanted just to take the price difference from bet price and BSP.
You could tell me to just lay them off at post time so I wiould get the push on the losers BUT I do't have the exact post time data recorded and will be different to BSP, how much I dont know but guess it is within +/-2% in the long haul. I have 1 minute to post data and that is nowhere near 1000 points profit ( under 150 off the top of my head)
OK, so If manualy trading at SP does not do the job I would not expect a bot to do it!
Thanks for all the help, but what I thought would be the simplest bot to write looks like it is not possibe! That is why this has been frustarting. I have used Bots for many years and this is the first time I joined the forum!
UNLESS
...... Anyone knows a way.
