Hi everyone,

I am using a 100% loss recovery rule on a lay the draw system. The system often has several bets open at a time. What i thought the rule would do is once a bet is lost the next bet would have the increased stake to recover the loss. For some reason (as per attached screenshot) the bot put a bet on with an £11 liability. I cant work out why it did this as the bet before won and why £11.

Any advice gratefully received.

Hi Paul,

This all depends on your loss recovery settings which you did not post here.

The bet before won, but it was not recovering any loss. You have high number of bets placed by that strategy and only those that have size in "Loss Rec" column are recovering loss!

Here are few tips:
1. make sure you use "Market conditions->Unsettled markets" rule and to set it to 1, so that next bet is only placed when previous bet is settled

2. check your "Overall loss recovery->Safety settings", most likely your "Min ROI" setting is set to 50% value in which case loss recovery is not added to bets that have lower ROI. Return On Investment (ROI) is explained in the manual and in following help article:

3. at your screenshot you have some bets in real mode and others in simulation mode. You should never mix those two modes, make sure you restart strategy after switching between real/simulation mode

4. your loss recovery is limited to 10 because of your max loss recovery liability setting at "Overall loss recovery" rule, so if you wish to recover more and have higher risk then you will need to increase that limit

Please check those settings, specially number #2 and then try again in simulation mode without risking any real money.

Thanks very much for your reply.

I understand about ROI now!
