I've built out a local application which runs analysis and outputs dutch bet recommendations.

I'm trying to work out how to get those bets automatically picked up by the bot, is there a minimum amount of fields I need to fill in? I'm trying to just use the Market Id and Selection Name but maybe that's not enough?

I'm not actually sure what's not working, the Report says it's failing at "Dutching for target profit" but that's not got any controversial settings, so I'm wondering if that's failing because it's not picking up any tips?

I'm getting the race info direct from the Betfair API, so I can include whatever is necessary.

At "Manage tips" form you can import your tips. Once they are imported then all other details will get populated for them if they get connected to Betfair selection.

You should also use Provider column and specify some common name for your tips.

If tips are not connected to Betfair selection properly then strategy will not be able to bet on them.

In your strategy you must use "Staking->Bet on imported tips" rule and it should be set above "Dutching for target profit" rule, so that it executes first.

If you keep having problems then please post screenshots of imported tips and of your strategy settings.

OK, it's successfully auto importing which is great, but still falls over at Dutching For Target Profit, I guess it's not finding the dogs?

I also tried exporting My S. selections to a tipsheet and trying to use that to dutch, but that also fails at the Dutching for Target profit rule. Is there some special sauce for Dutching from tips?

Nope. Sorry for being a pest, it's still not able to satisfy the Dutching for Target Profit rules.

Please post screenshots of market, selection and price tabs for your strategy to check them. Thanks

I worked it out.

Under Selection Conditions, the bet type wasn't set.

The error in the Report was a bit misleading, but we got there in the end!

No sure if I need to start a new topic for this.

It's stopped working overnight. Tips were previously being imported with Bet Type "Unknown", now they are being imported with Bet Type "Back" by default. That's the only difference I can see, my tips file is in exactly the same format as it was.

Now it's not picking up the dogs from the Manage Tips page and placing the bet.

Any ideas on what might have changed?

Make sure your tips file is not opened in Excel, as Excel locks file and prevents any other software from reading it.

If that is not the issue then please use Contact form to email us log file and screenshots of your imported tips and tips file containing tips that are not imported if there are any. If tips are imported properly then check your strategy Reports tab to see which rule is preventing bet placement.
