Hi all
Got a question regarding bots placing bets at higher prices than set
I did a simple bot to activate before the kickoff so that when the in game odds reach 1.10 then a back bet will be placed at 1.05
However 2 things happened that show I didn't get it right
1) Actually placed a matched bet at 1.85
2) Placed a matched bet at 1.05
In both cases I didn't want the bets to be placed until the in game odds had been reached as per above
How do I set it up so that it works properly ?
Thanks in advance

It's probably best to post this in the Automation forum. There are a lot of knowledgeable people there that can help. They'll also probably need more information than this too - like what exactly it is you are trying to achieve and how your rules are defined.

Just so I understand , you want to back in in play at 1.05 when the acutal odds are 1.10?cyclops1000 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:21 pmHi all

First thing I'd say is why would you want 1.05 when you can get 1.10? Secondly Betfair will always give you a price imrpovement, next did you specify in running only? you may need additional settings such as last traded price, but all that aside I'm still puzzled by your orignal plan; if I have understood it correctly, you want to back at 1.05 in play when the odds are 1.10?

A bit of an explanation
I've been using Bet Angel for 8 years and in that time I've had periods of 2 or 3 days where it's all going well but then it goes wrong
Tried horse racing , NFL , tennis and football (soccer)
Great piece of software and the team behind it are to be commended , congratulated and acknowledged for it
Betfair community are great as well
My confidence has taken a bit of a knock and so I'm looking at placing selections on markets that have a high probability of happening
Having played football when I was a kid up until my mid 30s I've decided to stick with that and as I'm in New Zealand a lot of games take place in what is the small hours of the morning here hence the desire for a bot that can take care of the actual placement on selections with a high probability
I think 1.05 is a percentage of about 95%
Yes I know there is nothing that is a sure thing - apart from change , death and taxes - but just want to reduce the chance of it going wrong .
