Hi everyone,

Im new to trading and am starting with a dobbing and back to lay strategys, i have set the bot in guardian to dob for me and its all set and ready to go im sure ive done it all correct but then when the race goes off no bets go in to the market so i must have a setting wrong somewhere sorry for the dumb question but im not good with computers at all of course the 4 selections i choose today all won but the bloody bets didnt go in lol.

Difficult to say without seeing the bot if its that or perhaps your guardian settings.

You could try the one from the shared files section on here, if that works for you then you know its your bot and if not its something to do with your guardian settings

It looks like you may be in a different timezone to the UK or at least have the wrong time zone selected on the main Betfair site
The horse you have nominated in guardian 'Penny Poet' does not run for another 35mins (20:00pm UK time)

Your update rate looks to be set at 1 second judging by the last updated times on your screenshot. You also seem to have lots of markets loaded in the guardian. The file you are using only has a ten second window to place your bet and it probably is missing this window each time it looks. Suggest you decrease the refresh interval from one second to something a lot faster. Go to 'market' tab in gurdian and use drop down for refresh interval select at least 100ms for ten times faster cycling.

this is reallly strange on the betfair site my time zone is correct and it rightly says penny poet is running at 8pm but then on my bet angel software and other softwares the time is an hour out so frustrating any ideas??

thanks

It depends on the arm times you have in your rules, if you delete out all of tomorrow's races then try your rule again, if that doesn't work try mine on the last race

Glad you got the time part sorted it def wouldn't have worked while that was an hour out so that needed doing regardless

From what I can see in your screen shot there is no reason why it shouldn't be working - one last thing to check tonight on the top of guardian click the 'Advanced settings' tab and check to ensure the restrict refresh option isn't ticked.

Then tomorrow can you do the following

Just load a max of 5 markets
take away the side window in guardian so the full guardian screen is showing
With the market selected in Guardian (so its highlighted blue) click the log tab at the bottom of guardian
Then take a screenshot with the main BA screen on the left as you have been doing as that market goes in-play and post that
