Betfair Bot
One of TriggerResult discriminated unions entry is:
TriggerResult.OpenAssociatedMarkets of string[] * (DataResult<Market list> -> unit)
Allowing requesting associated markets to the market you are running your bot on.
Every market is open as bet event on betfair, and you have got access to this information:
market.MarketInfo.BetEvent
So bfexplorer when you request TriggerResult.OpenAssociatedMarkets knows for which bet event id the associated markets should be queried.
Please have a look at on this bot trigger script:
HorseRacingWinToBePlacedData.fsx
Basically your bot has access to all betfair api methods:
myBfexplorer.BfexplorerService.BetfairServiceProvider
