From Chat GPT:

"To start a bot only when LiveScore data and MatchTime are not available for a football match in the BF Explorer, you can use a combination of conditions and triggers. Here's an example of how you can set it up:

1. Open the BF Explorer and navigate to the bot you want to configure or create a new bot.

2. In the Start Criteria section, set the conditions to check for the availability of LiveScore data and MatchTime. For example, you can set the conditions as follows:

   • LiveScore data not available: HasLiveScoreFeedData == false
   • MatchTime not available: MatchTime == "" or MatchTime == "N/A" or MatchTime == "-" (depending on how the unavailable MatchTime is represented)

3. In the Execute Trigger section, add a new trigger.

4. Set the trigger type to "Start" or "Activate" to start the bot.

5. Save the bot and run it.

By setting these conditions, the bot will only start when both LiveScore data and MatchTime are not available for the specified football match. This way, the bot will not be activated if the required data is missing.

It's important to note that the availability and representation of LiveScore data and MatchTime can vary depending on the data source and how it's integrated with the BF Explorer. Make sure to check the specific data source and adjust the conditions accordingly to accurately detect the unavailability of LiveScore data and MatchTime.

Additionally, if the BF Explorer doesn't provide built-in support for checking the availability of LiveScore data and MatchTime, you may need to explore external APIs or custom integrations to retrieve this information and incorporate it into your bot's logic."

Please read the following article to understand the process of manually stopping and canceling bets on markets that do not have a live score feed.

Vy ste sa informovali o FootballBote, robote, ktorý sa spolieha na živé výsledky zápasov, a vyjadrili ste otázku týkajúcu sa jeho fungovania na trhoch, kde takéto výsledky nie sú dostupné. Táto otázka pôsobí nezvyčajne, pretože predpokladá, že robot sa používa na trhoch bez prístupu k živým aktualizáciám výsledkov.

Odporúčam spúšťať tohto robota výhradne na udalostiach, ktoré sú pokryté živými výsledkami od Betfairu, s dôrazom na hlavné európske ligy.

Nepreveril som dostupnosť živých výsledkov pre všetky futbalové udalosti ponúkané Betfairom.

Ak sa vaša otázka týka zastavenia už spustených alebo bežiacich robotov na trhoch, kde nie sú dostupné živé výsledky, a pôvodne ste očakávali, že takéto výsledky budú k dispozícii, riešenie tejto situácie je komplexné. Neexistuje priamočiary spôsob, ako vás informovať, že živé výsledky nie sú k dispozícii.

It seems that you are referring to a specific scenario involving a FootballBot that utilizes a live score feed. To ensure accurate understanding, let me rephrase your statement:

"You inquired about the FootballBot, a bot that relies on live score feeds, and expressed a query regarding its operation in markets where such feeds are unavailable. This question appears unusual, as it assumes running the bot in markets without access to live score updates."

"I would recommend running this bot exclusively on events covered by Betfair's live score feed, primarily focusing on major European leagues."

"I haven't verified the availability of live score feeds for all football events offered by Betfair."

"If your question pertains to stopping already executed or running bots in markets where live feeds are not available, and you initially expected the availability of such feeds, resolving this situation becomes complex. There is no straightforward indication to inform you when the live scores are unavailable."

Please let me know if I have accurately captured the intended meaning of your statement or if there is any additional context I should consider.

You ask about FootballBot, the bot using live score feed, and you want to run this bot on markets without such live score feed, very strange question.

Please, read what you had wrote: “..to start a FootballBot..”

I would suggest to run this bot only on events which are covered by betfair live score feed, so mainly big leagues in Europe, I think.

I did not check availability of live score feed for all football events betfair offer.

If your question is about stopping already executed/running bots, on markets which actually do not offer live feed, and you expected the live feed will be available, then such case cannot be done a simple way, as there is no signal available for you saying the live score is not available.

The web site has no security certificate (https), therefor when installing Bfexplorer app click on More info ..  and Run anyway button.

The tool Strategy Bot executor has nothing to do with type of market used to execute bot strategies on. I think you misunderstand the concept of the MarketName parameter some of bots offer to execute an action bot on associated market.

Yes, all is perfect, now. Thank you.

Stefan was right ! One week later and all LiveScores seem to be working fine again. Sorry for raising up this issue. 

Yes, it's good to know that Štefan is aware of this problem in Betfair website. I had no idea that there are only 15 paying subscribers, understand that his time and extra work should be compensated to improve live scores performance and wouldn't mind to contribute myself to have most important matches covered. Another very important issue for me would be to have goals confirmed only after ball goes to the midfield and match is resumed. If possible, that would also be a major upgrade.    

Your software is very good, has some unique features and has been profitable while LiveScores for all important matches work fine. Is good to know that you believe Betfair will return LiveScores coverage and that you really care about this Betfair problem and your paying subscribers. Thank you very much for all your attention. 

You can post your requests to betfair score feed to betfair developer web site. One developer reported problems with its own app stopping to receive score from betfair web api:

No Live Match Time or Live Scores for all main football matches

I understand, but my bots need this data from main matches to be profitable. They cannot work only with live football match time and score from so few matches from lower leagues.

This is not BFExplorer fault. It's Betfair that is not providing LiveScores for the main matches and is only providing LiveScores for very few lower division matches from some almost unheard countries. If this problem persists, football bots won't work on almost 90% of all matches and almost 100% of all the most important matches, unless BFExplorer starts using another LiveScores feed other than Betfair's.

No Nations League, no Brazil Serie A, no nothing. Only two matches from México and Chile second divisions. This has never happened before. Without proper livescores, football bots won't start or cancel bets. If this is considered "normal" for football bots to place and cancel bets only on two second division games from south and central America, I simply rest my case and start looking for another options elsewhere. 

Italy x Spain - No Liescore Available

https://ibb.co/kg3pMdJ

Even UEFA Nations League semi final Italy vs Spain, the most important football match today, has no livescore. It says 0' 0-0 when actually it's already 28' and 0-1. This is surreal. 

Earlier you said:

"All live score data used by betfair are provided by third parties as well, so if score does not work, you must blame data provider not my app or betfair." 

This is trully disappointing.

My bots can't work like this
