Trying out this script in practice mode.
Losing money easily on this script may be easy or should I be vigilant during the race.
I got into scraping in order to profit in bits before the race starts. But if 2 back bets get matched and no lay bets just before, somewhat nervous about the automation.
It looks good. Guess the idea is to also watch in-play and close bets when green figures light up in the trading profit calculator, is that right?
I can see how the green up part either brings a profit, or hopefully an acceptable loss, to avoid nasty outcomes. But I am new to all this, new to trading.
Also, I add the automation to the top 2 favs. Is that okay?
as I usually scarpe two horses at a time if manually.
There is a discrepancy at times, the green figures I think I have profited actually don't show up in my betfair account. Guess this is due to unmatched amounts as I notice I have to lay net stakes manually in-play until zero.
are folks using this only pre-race or going in-play? Why does the script rule lay higher odds than the back odds?? That confuses.
Help appreciated, thx.
This bot was made for pre-race markets, ideally those where the prices are fairly steady but certainly not for IR and you should nt be letting it go in-running to try and recover any losses sooner or later this will only leave you with a total loss.
The way its made it can only put lay and one back bet in the market at a time (can never be 2 backs or 2 lays unless you have changed something) and it always backs higher than it lays - full details of what it does can be found in the OP of this thread.
You can set to scalp any horse you wish either by nominating them individually or selection by position ie the fav and 2nd fav etc
You will always get slightly less paid into your Betfair account than the P/L figures shown on your screen as your commission is deducted from any winnings
