Overall loss recovery question

Hi,

I have a bot that is working really well, but I do occasionally get a big(ish) loss. I've looked into it and I can understand why, I just wondered how I can change this?

You can see that I hit a loss this morning of £2.11 so using Overall Recovery (recovering 33% per race) the bot divides the £2.11 into 3 and tries to recover this (3 x £0.70) so I understand what it's doing.

In this instance the recover was successful and gave me a nice little extra profit too - I lost £2.11 but in the recover races won £3.57.

This is great when it comes off, but sometimes it doesn't and I make a loss.

What I'd like to do is recover the £2.11 over 3 races, so I needed to make an extra £0.70 per race NOT bet an extra £0.70 per race. Depending on the odds I'd need to add a bit more to my bets to get this £0.70 back.

Hope this makes sense. I'm sure it's just an option I've forgot to check, I just can't find it.

Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris,

You can increase "Amount to recover" from 100% to 120%. Then try it out in simulation mode.

Make sure you read manual for details on how each option works:
