Hi,
Sudently, the loss pot recovery has stopped working. The bot stayed on for 2 or 3 days in simulation mode.
Was that because it reached the 100 losses? Is that a limit?
Is not possible to have the bot running for several days non-stop?

Losses in loss pot is set to 100
Loss pot recovery is set to 100%
Liability is enough to cover the recovery bets.

Hi Ptech,

Number of bets in loss pot only determines size of loss pot, it is not the limit on number of bets that can be recovered.

Please check "View->Bets" form for Matched bets, bot usually stops recovering losses when there are unsettled matched bets because result is missing. That is why latest version of V1 has option to consider matched bets as winning ones, so that bot does not wait for bets to bet settled before it starts recovering other lost bets.

Beside that, you should place few real bets too, not just use bot in simulation mode. If you are using bot in simulation mode only, then lower your refresh rates for getting market prices, so that bot requests less data from Betfair (e.g. set get market prices refresh rate to 10seconds).

Nice, thank you!
I've just lowered refresh rate.
I did place a few real bets, but at the moment I'm running in simulation to test a system. Soon I will be placing real bets...
