From betfair bdp forum: I am looking for someone to help me with some horse data extraction, presented in Excel to allow me to do some data analytics on.

From Betangel forum: How can I work out whether s Big Bet is s back or a lay for an automated strategy? Sometimes it’s obvious because the price will change but other times when there is decent liquidity the price won’t move. I assume there’s a way of doing this because the ...
From BetAngel forum: Forgive a newbie, but I'm trying to create a bot which checks if a goal is scored between 70 and 80mins, but getting inconsistent results. What's the best way to approach this please? So far, I've tried to populate each score line with a stored value relating to ...
Betfair Bot
The question is what is your own experience in required skills?
From your specification: “data extraction” and “data analytics”.
If you already have this historical data then you need to create your model, where from your data you are able to take some conclusions.
For instance by entering parameters like Horse Name, Trainer, Jockey and so on, your model can return probability values for each horse (trainer, jockey) to win a race. This probability is then taken by bfexplorer bot as trigger to initiate bet placing or not.
So from this point of view all you need to learn in bfexplorer are those two features:
My Strategies / Bots to Execute
Strategy / Bot Executor

Many thanks for feedback, I am actively learning the software to get used to how bfexplorer works.
Betfair Bot
Traded data use case scenario.
Betfair Bot
When you open bfexplorer.net web page, on the home page:
http://bfexplorer.net/Home
There is list of main features, the same can be found:
http://bfexplorer.net/Products/ProductFeatures
These twelve main features describe how to use bfexplorer app for your betting, trading or automated execution of different betfair strategies.
I hope you have managed to open bfexplorer and login to betfair that is the starting point.
So after opening bfexplorer app and login to betfair, bfexplorer app shows Event Browser view, loaded with Upcoming in-play events.
When selecting any market in grid view of the Event Browser, the Execute in Strategy / Bot Executor toolbar icon is activated. That means that you can do what “Execute in Strategy / Bot Executor” sentence would suggest, so start your bot strategy on markets loaded to Event Browser grid view.
You want to execute your strategy on greyhounds markets; it means you need to open greyhounds markets to the Event Browser. You want to execute some strategy, so it means you need to define such strategy adding it to “My Strategies / Bots to Execute” view.
Your key features you need to familiarize yourself are:
Market navigation and browsing
Place bet, Execute till target profit
Strategy / Bot Executor
Just browsing forum, you can find a lot of examples for above three features.
Betfair Bot
Bfexplorer offers bot named: “Execute Till Target Profit”, so bot suitable to execute sequential bets till target profit/loss is reached. The bot places next bet in sequence only when previous bet is settled, so it is known that bet is winner, and/or loss.
In your strategy you use “Reular Time Goals” market, so your bets are not settled when period ends, but only when matched ends.
To execute your strategy you need ice hockey live score, so bot needs to know which period is played, and what the correct score is.
Yes, the strategy can be programmed. If you are familiar with some programming language then you can use Bfexplorer BOT SDK to program your ice hockey strategy bot.
Betfair Bot
Your subscription code was assigned to you, I can see it had been generated.
If you have problems then you must understand that activation of subscription code and as well activation of your api access is done on betfair servers. If you still cannot login then betfair simply blocks your access, it is done so for not used accounts, accounts with zero balance, and of course for blocked accounts.
Therefore please ask betfair. If you did not bet for more than 3 months, or have zero balance on your account, then deposit and place a bet on betfair, the matched one. This helps to reactivate api access.
Betfair Bot
Advice from Peter Webb from betangel forum:
Perhaps see if there has been a big price change with no change is score line on the correct score market?
It is really funny but this best software on the betfair world:
“Bet Angel is the premier software for trading on Betfair. Used by professionals all over the world, Bet Angel has been developed by traders who use it as their primary tool. Introduced in 2004, Bet Angel is constantly developed with more features and improved performance over any alternative software.”
Have no support for live score match data in automation!
Betfair Bot
Yes, you start your custom built bot assembly with app: Bfexplorer.exe
Do you really think you will manage to program your bot, having such big problems when debugging bot code? I think you should find bot developer, or just send me specification for your custom bot.

BotUI.exe == Bfexplorer.exe I realized right?
Ganger
The latest version Bfexplorer no BotUI.exe, but he needs to start MyCSharpBot.
Where possible find and download BotUI.exe ?
