Find the Gap Guardian Automation Bot for Greyhounds

[Gonzothegreat]

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, much appreciated.
Yes I had a look at the rules, you can add/remove quite a lot (which means: lots to learn to find out what does what...).

I'm sure I will have more questions at some point.

No probs, each of the bots in the shared files section try to demonstrate different options of the automation and ways to set up and use them, if you have any questions relating to any just do as you have done here and pop it on the end of the thread

It can be edited to do more or less anything you wanted, the way its currently set it will stop once a back and lay have been matched then green up just before the off.

I have noticed that if the liability for the lay bets is above your threshold from the general settings, it will green out with a back bet only.
Which rule could I possibly use/set so that the bot does not green out at all if only 1 back and 0 lay condition occurs please?

On the green up rule adding the condition 'Amount of matched bets condition' - selections lay bets are equal to following fixed amount £0 will do that. Though im not sure why you would need to in the situation you have described above as it wont be greening anyway if the liability is exceeded

[Gonzothegreat]

Thanks, I shall try this.
I'm not sure either why it greened out despite not having a matched back/lay.

Maybe I'm barking at the wrong tree and please correct me as I am a newbie.
In the below screenshots, the Green rule shows 3/3 and the matched bets shows 3 back.
I have added the extra condition as per your previous post too.

In the original rule the lays bet should trigger each time the backs do, the green ups are then just to spread the Profit or loss equally just before the off.

If you can post the log as well next time it does not trigger as you expect that should give a better idea of whats happening.

I was on a different computer (running Windows in Virtualbox for Bet Angel as I am on a Mac).
Here's the log related to the screenshots.

thanks for your time.

Your liability setting are to low to allow the lays to be placed, your better off increasing this slightly or with the automation file in its original state add a 'Fixed odds condition' to both the back and lay bets set as
selections lay price
is less than 3.55

That will only allow bets on selections where both bets can be placed without exceeding your liability settings

[Gonzothegreat]

Thanks, I was experimenting with my liability settings. It seems that 5 is too low, it seems to work(ish) from 10+ and fine from 25.

Going to add that condition now.

Please try not to laugh at the following (I'm new...)....
From the above posted screenshots, the bot would have placed 3 back bets right? or just one?
Or am I miss-understanding the system badly?

What I'd like to achieve is that the bot place 1 lay and 1 back, and not gazillions of bets per race....
Correct me, put me in the right direction please, if needed.

That rule works well thanks, nothing get placed as the odds are too low (in other words: the liability is too low). I need to tweak both to find a happy medium.
It will take a few weeks (maybe months) before I can use this bot live for me.

No probs everyone has to start somewhere, and as i always no question is ever stupid if you dont know the answer

The screen shot shows that 2 back bets were triggered, (on two different selections) each for £2 although one of these was matched in 2 parts but the total for both selections was £2 each.
The rule is set to place upto 2 backs and 2 lays but you can limit this to any number you want either by changing the triggers on the general tab or by adding a 'number of matched bets condition' to stop it triggering when a selection or market has reached the desired number you want

Now I got it, thanks for explaining it makes perfect sense now.

This bot is between row 1 and 2 (as in trap 1 and 2, right?). I guess I could add more rules to do between 2 and 3 etc? Or would that somehow over complicate it and potentially lead to too many bets placed for not much gains?

Its currently looking to place 1 back and 1 lay bet on trap 1 (row 1) and 1 back and 1 lay bet on trap 2 but you can add as many as you want
