Hi Rade,

I've a couple of simple strategies running that seem quite successful when running in simulation but totally bomb when running in live mode.

They are both basic back bets on the overs markets in football. The only difference between the simulation and the live version of the strategy is the stake size.

Simulation is 10% of a starting bank of £200 while live is 10% of a starting bank of £5.00

Is there any obvious reason the live strategies fail?

I've even set up the simulation strategies with the same bank size of 10% of £5.00 and run them at the same time as running the exact same strategies live on another computer. The simulation remains profitable while the live ones fail.

Please read following article about differences between simulation and real mode:

Hi Rade,
I don't think any of those things apply although I have kept the Overrounds condition that comes selected when adding new strategy. Would that affect it?
Other than the staking selection that's pretty much the strategy.

In simulation mode data is delayed by Betfair from 1s to 180s, and this could make strategy bet when score rule is satisfied but at old odds before goal is scored, which would make large difference in profit.

Lol, yes it would. Thanks Rade

Do you think that adding the IPT rule "IF Goal is not scored in last 3 minutes" to my simulated strategies would be a suitable workaround to that problem?

Yes, that could help.

Thanks Rade
