Hi Rade,
I am working on a strategy for football and at the moment there is a problems that I do not know how to solve.
- I wanted the odd to be between 3 and 5 but the bets are made on larger odds as you can see attached;

I attach the strategy.

Thanks for your support.

EDIT:
I'm sorry but I already figured out the problem I had of the odd bet above 5. I had the option: "favorite by position" instead of "runner by position" :oops:

However I detected a problem that I would like to know if I can solve it:
I have the option "hedge if price goes up by 5 ticks" and in the game the bot bet against the tie at an odd of 4, okay so far, but the odd of back went down by moments to 3 and went back up to 3.9 , Which made the bot hedge ...
I wanted instead to have the option of "hedge if price goes up by 5 ticks", had the option to do edge if I'm winning X% of stake.
Is this possible?

Thanks Rade ;)

Hi there,
since last post, i'm keep trying to make this work but unsuccessfully at the moment.
I took some pictures of the game I made to see if I have help getting this to work. The bot bet against the draw with no problem, but I can not get him to close the bet and hedge ...
1. Lay bet

2. Goal score

3. Report panel
In here i see one error "insufficient funds" but i don't know why... a lay of 0,05€ at 4,7 only needs a back bet of 0,01€ with odd of 44.

I just want to edge if i can get x% of max % profit or x% of the stake.

Thanks

Hi Fernando,

We are on vacation until 7th August so we cannot check your strategy until we get back, sorry for delay.

Following forum thread explains how bets below Betfair minimum are placed and why it requires more funds than you expect.

Hi Rade,
first of all I would like to thank you for all the effort you have taken in trying to help with our doubts.
This time I would like to know if it is possible to hedge if a goal is scored. I'll bet on games of my choice and a specific odd and wanted to score when a goal was scored.
I've been reading the manual and found this:
For me to bet only when the game is 0-0 I have to have the "bet when score settings" option with 0-0? And have the "correct score" market of this game loaded?
In "market condition for hedge" tab. If you choose option 1-0 and 0-1, does the bot only hedge if there is a goal?

Thanks Rade ;)

Hi Fernando,

Yes, if you use score condition at Hedge then it will execute on that score. You should test it in simulation mode.

You must auto load correct score market that has good/valid offer so that bot can determine right score.

Rade

There must be available prices at market e.g. if there is Back price of 500 on score 0-0 then bot uses that information and knows that score is not 0-0 etc.

If there is no offer at all on scores, then bot cannot determine result.

Regards,
Rade
