hi rade
today i checked the bets placed race by race.
i am using bank%
my bank was 3.90
but a lay bet was placed for .49 at 14.00, the liability for this is 6.37.
my question is why did the bot place a bet with a liability above my bank balance
i am checking because yesterday i used the same selection method and doubled my bank, great though i.
but in reality bets are placed in test mode that should not have been placed.
is this correct or is it a bug.
could this be why so many test mode systems are good, then when we go live they fail.

Hi Mcbee,

Without screenshots I am not sure if I can give you correct answer to this.

Bot does not check if your betting bank or Betfair wallet have enough funds for bet that is about to be placed. So if you have loss recovery turned on or staking plan then stake could be higher than your betting bank. Bet size is not limited by size of your betting bank. Betting bank is used only to determine initial stake of your bet by using "% of betting bank to bet". Then initial stake can be increased by staking plan, loss recovery or other rules to increase stake.

Kind regards,
Rade

hi rade
then this could do with changing, because if in test mode the bot places bets above your bank amount, then you will show a profit at the end of every day.
but it is not of great importance.

thanks
