Hi
Just a quick q about current bank settings.
If lay betting % liability and the next bet would make liability larger than current bank (a recovery bet) then I would expect it not to bet but today on first test it did just that so I cannot see the point of setting a betting bank if it utilises real bank?

thanks

Hi KongUK,

Bot does not check your account available funds when placing bets, it expects that you have enough money for bet to be placed.

Stake is determined by using betting bank that you set, but loss recovery might make actual stake bigger than your betting bank. To prevent this you should use max loss setting to stop or restart bot so that recovery restarts.

i dont see the point in using a betting bank then if the bet is going to ignore it. It wouldnt be difficult to check current bank prior to bet

If you are using betting bank then that means that you are using percent of betting bank staking plan. In this staking plan bet size is calculated by using betting bank e.g. X% of betting bank.

So bet size is not ignoring betting bank, it is calculating stake by using betting bank.

Loss recovery is not connected with staking plan and is optional. You can turn on/off loss recovery and it does not depend on betting bank. Because of that you get bigger bets than you expected.

But thats my point, you say its calculating the stake on the betting bank, whether its a percentage or you want to loss recover or not (in my case a staking plan so not loss pot recovery) why would I use a betting bank just to calculate the stake. Isn't it a safeguard on your real bank that you use a betting bank in the first place?

Hi KongUK,

You should use "Max Loss" and advanced settings of max profit/loss to limit max exposure or loss of your account.

Loss recovery also has Max Loss Recovery Liability setting to limit max liability per bet when doing loss recovery.

Percent of betting bank and loss recovery are two separated things and that is why loss recovery is not checking betting bank.

OK forget loss recovery

What is the reason for betting bank or am I not getting this?

If you were placing level stake back bets and you used up your betting bank, would the bot stop? you can set max loss etc regardless of betting bank...

sorry for harping on about this

Hi KongUK,

If you tick option to use Percent of Betting Bank then you cannot set level stake, you must use percent of betting bank as stake.

In that case as betting bank changes so does your stake change.

If your percent of betting bank is 5% and betting bank is 100euros, then stake will be 5 euros.

If betting bank changes to 10euros then your stake will be 0.5euros.

This is example when "Ratchet staking" option is turned off. See manual for more details or try it out in simulation mode.
