First you need to define what you mean by term “scalping”?

Basically, the word describers manually trading on betfair, so the activity when man using its knowledge on how prices/odds will move, or how the market (so rest of people and bots on betfair) will react on market price changes, and using this knowledge to place back or lay bets, either by offering bets, and or taking what is offered.

The aim of this strategy is to create very short position on betfair market taking just couple ticks profit when market moves in favor or just accept loses, again in couple ticks. Trade is made by placing opposite bet type then opening one, so lay when back first and wise versa.

A tick is price/odds difference between back/lay odds, as betfair odds on non  handicap markets is defined in price groups, so for instance in odds/price range 2-3, it is 0.02, but in odds 3-4 it is 0.05 and so on, then between 2.12-2.14 we have got 1 tick difference as well as between 10-10.5.

That is the basic of trading on betfair.

When man trades on betfair a different techniques are used, you even place fake bets to force market react in your favor, in such cases you need to know what you are doing, as what you offer in such fake/trap bets, can be value for others.

To automate this process we are using betfair bots, so small programs which could automate manual part of your daily routine on befair markets, it is clear that such bots do not think, and are limited only by preprogrammed parameters.

In bfexplorer app you can find following bots which can be used for scalping:

Place Bet

Be the First in Queue

Fill or Kill

Close Selection Bet Position

Close Selection Bet Position at Odds

Place Bet and Close Selection Bet Position

Tick Offset

Scratch Trading

Trailing Stop Loss

Close Market Bet Position

Today's results running the bot fully automatically using Bot Executor tool:

Perfect, this is what I wanted! Thank you!
After that, I must subscribe))
I continue to study Bfexplorer.

I have just added new bot to bfexplorer called: “Show Market Selection and Alert”. If you want to use it install the latest version of bfexplorer:

http://bfexplorer.net/Products/Bfexplorer

I have created new bot script TennisGameScoreAlertBot.fsx, you can add GameScore parameter adding values like this: GameScores:5 - 4|6 - 5

Scores are separated by | and are written from position of serving player, have a look at the bot script on lines 49 – 63.

TennisGameScoreAlertBot.fsx

Thank you!
You do wonderful things!

I do simple bot script development for my subscribers for free (that requires up to 1 working hour). I checked the script execution on my server, and no error message was reported, therefore I think you just tried to change the bot code and your changes produced error message you reported.

Bfexplorer offers standard bots that require no programming skills. You just set the bot parameters and execute such bot. One of such bots is “Tennis Bot” so basically you can set your trigger parameters, and setup an action by BotName parameter that will be executed when trigger criteria are met.

“Tennis Bot” stops its execution automatically when the action bot is triggered, so repeating bot action again can be made by recursion, what can be done by "Sequence Execution" bot, referring last bot name to execute in sequence to be the name of your sequence bot.

The last think for your custom bot is “Notification Bot”, so bot that will alert you (speak some text), so similar like in TennisBreakPointAlertBot script.

I will add such bot to standard bfexplorer bots adding one useful feature which you could see in the “Watch Favourite” bot. This bot displays market selection in Bet Event view automatically, so when monitoring for instance 50 tennis markets, the bot will automatically show in Bet Event view the market and selection on which the bot was executed.

I will add updated script as well, but my idea was that users willing to share programming bot scripts will do so, therefor I posted tutorial bot scripts for learners of betfair bot programming on my github web page:

https://gist.github.com/StefanBelo

 I really liked how TennisBreakPoint AlertBot.fsx works
so I really want to do something like this,
but it seems too hard.

To create a bot, a prerequisite is knowledge of a programming language? Or is everything simpler?
Where to start? I want to make an alert to the tennis bot to notify when the score is 5-4 * 6-5 *
Or can I buy a bot creation from you?

Thank you, it works!

You have got MSCORLIB.DLL assembly on your computer, because when you installed bfexplorer, the .net libraries already must be installed on your computer.

Bfexplorer app is developed in C# and F# programming languages, the script you want to run is written in F# as well.

All you need to do is installed F# language extension to Visual Studio, or any other IDE you use, please read/watch following:

Betfair Bot Programming for Non-Developers

Windows 10

Hello!
I'm trying to run a script  TennisBreakPointAlertBot.fsx
and this problem appeared, below was a description of how to solve it, but it turned out to be difficult for me, English is not my native language.
Is it possible to help me?)

mscorlib.dll is part of .net installation package, and is installed on every Windows OS, .net is here from 2002, so my question is what you do and on what OS?

http://dllsearch.net/dlls/m/mscorlib-dll-file

More about TLS 1.2 for software developers:

https://blogs.perficient.com/2016/04/28/tsl-1-2-and-net-support/

I do not know on what version of .net is built Geektoy, but for instance cymatic is built on .net 4.5, and also does not support windows xp and 7.

http://www.cymatic.co.uk/forum/topic1680.html

By general TLS 1.2 is supported by .net 4.6 and above so all apps built on such .net version does not require any changes, but of course TLS 1.2 must be directly supported by OS, so it must be its default protocol for https.

Other versions of .net require:

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12

Because bfexplorer app is always built against the latest version of .net, I did not have to rebuild my app to comply TLS 1.2 requirements, but on the other hand users must use latest updates for OS.

Once again keep in mind what I said before: “I use bfexplorer app daily, so you can be sure there is no problem in bfexplorer app.”, so any problem you have got are in 99% cases on your side.

Similar problems reported at the same day one user from Asia, he told me that app worked day before but not 19 February, I replied similarly like in your case.  Later after 1-2 days he reported that all works fine on another computer?!

So now think a little bit, he used the same app, one was not working and the other was working but on another computer, of course he did not bother to report on what OS he runs bfexplorer that have problems to connect, again I replied by more details about TLS 1.2 as I was sure that it is his problem. He did not reply on what OS he runs bfexporer but again complain, actually just copy pasting original email.

Finally he managed to execute TeamViewer   session, and what do you think what OS he was running, well yes Windows XP.

Keep in mind that when using OS which is no more supported by Microsoft you did not get anymore any security patches, there is 100% chance your computer is full of viruses and all kinds of malware.

I got it ! I managed to update TLS 1.2 on my computer. Just can't understand why this problem only happened wit BFExplorer, as with Geeks Toy always worked fine all the time. Thanks for all your help !   

What is your OS version? Send me TeamViewer access (by support email) code so I can check it myself.

I tested bfexplorer on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2012 and all works fine. I can confirm that bfexporer will not work on Windows 7 or XP, as bfexplorer app is compiled to .net 4.7 version without support for Windows 7 or XP.

If you want to run app with TLS 1.2 on Windows 7 or XP them it is just not a question of installing the latest version of .net assemblies, just google: tls 1.2 on windows 7.

It's not the OS because Geeks Toy works fine, I have updated the OS and still cannot log in BFExplorer. Why I paid yesterday and it still says in your website that my subscription expired on 23 FEB ?

There was planned maintenance-Tuesday 26th February & Wednesday 27th February 07:00 - 07:15 GMT on betfair servers.

From 19th February 2019 betfair servers accept only TLS 1.2 secure protocol.

Whenever any problem occurs with connection to betfair servers, first what you should do is click on menu item: Help / Betfair Exchange Api Status, it opens the following web page:

https://status.developer.betfair.com/

And so here you can check whether all betfair services work without problems.

If you problem is with TLS 1.2, then simply update to the latest version of windows operating system.

I use bfexplorer app daily, so you can be sure there is no problem in bfexplorer app.

Also, I have subscribed (again) today, paid the subscription, but in your website it still says it expired on the 23red of February. :(
