What Is Bot Trigger and How to Use It?

Bot Trigger orchestrates bot execution of your action bots, so the bots you added to My Bots view. It means that bot trigger does not manage your bet placing directly, but instead it delegates such actions to your action bots.


Such approach has big advantages, let me show you once again already presented football bet strategy executed by bot trigger: Bot Trigger - Football Back 0 - 0 Lay Draw


On the video tutorial to the above article you can see that I created 2 action bots: Back Correct Score 0 – 0, and Lay Draw


These two action bots are then used by bot trigger: Back 0 – 0 and lay draw. Bot trigger first executes Back Correct Score 0 – 0 bot, and waits till bot ends its execution, to find out what bet position had been created on 0 – 0. It calculates possible profit on 0 - 0 and uses 95% of it to lay draw executed by bot: Lay Draw.


If Match Odds market is not yet open, the bot trigger first opens the Match Odds market and then executes Lay Draw bot on the draw selection.


Bot trigger operates with action bots with exact names: Back Correct Score 0 – 0 and Lay Draw. We know that bfexplorer offers different bots to place a bet, and actually how such bets is placed can be setup by many different ways. You can ask your bot to offer your bet, or take current offer. You can create drip feeding bot to place bigger bet in small bets. If applicable you can use Be the first in queue bot. It means that very simply you can change behaviour of your bot trigger, because all the bot trigger needs is just two action bots names which have to be executed.


In this article I gain showed how to create above mentioned strategy, and I described each step. There are 23 steps of different operations I made in my video, to setup 0 – 0 and lay draw bot, you need just 3 steps.

    The latest version of bfexplorer offers bot trigger assembly execution. This update should solve bot trigger compilation problems. The only bot trigger I released assembly is BackCorrectScore00LayDrawTrigger.

    Sorry Stefan, but start the bot "Back 0-0 and lay draw" and nothing happens.

    "Output" does not reflect any messages.

    I upgraded to the latest version BFE.

    What am I doing wrong? or what I have to do?

    The latest version of bfexplorer offers two options for Execute Trigger Bot to enter bot trigger, either by bot trigger sorce code or by bot trigger assembly.

     

    The assembly file is already complied bot trigger. Select the second option and enter .dll bot trigger assembly.
