Hi

Is there anyway to rule out/select a runner if it was the beaten favourite LTO?

Thanks

I want to back the favourite in a race as long as it is within a certain price range and wasn't a beaten favourite in its last race.

I currently use another bot which allows me to do this but

HI spike300,

You can Back the favorite if it is within price range, no problem with that.

But I am confused about "was not a beaten favourite", as I am not sure if this information is available. For UK/Irish races Betfair sends detailed information for each horse and this has horse form, like following information:
http://screencast.com/t/upqI5HMdy3kt" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Beside this information there is no other data that bot or Betfair has on this horse.

Rade

Hi Rade

Thanks for your reply, the bot I use currently has the options as shown in the attatchment. Unfortunately I think I will have to stick with that one for now.

Thanks anyways

Hi Chris,

Thanks for sending this information.

It seems that they are using third party data to get this information. We might include something similar in future.

hi rade,

I see your new update includes the BF filter, where do i switch this on or activate it?

Also where can i stop the bot from selecting certain country's, i.e dont want the bot to seelct USA racing for instance.

thanks

Hi rassman,

You can find new "Filter horses by (BF), (C), (D) and (CD)" condition at "Selection conditions" tab of your strategy.

At Market conditions you have "Region" filter that allows you to select countries from which to allow betting.

Hi commander123,

At Market conditions you have required min/max price range condition that will allow betting on market only if specified favorite is in price range. You can set this to check price range for 2nd and 3rd fav. This is just checking of price range. If you want to bet on 2nd and 3rd favorite you will also need to bet type for those favorites at selection conditions tab.

Rade

Hi Rade,

Is the Beaten Favourite option as discussed in previous posts available in V2 of BFBM or only in V3?

Hi Dave,

Information is available in V2 too, take a look at this market for example:
http://screencast.com/t/dJf4KDTYOw9" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Next to runner name you can see (BF) for beaten favourites.

Only V3 and Multiple Strategies bot have rules to use this information automatically.

Rade

A quick question to revisit this thread:

Is there a way to select when they were the beaten favourite?

I.e. I have filtered by BF but only want to select those who were beaten last time out, not any other race.

That is how beaten favourite logic works, it checks only last race as far as we know.

Perfect! I thought it might have been relevant to form that goes back 5 places
