Good review! 

Football Bot triggers your action bot you define in the parameter BotName. The action bot is responsible for placing a bet or starting a trading session on preset selection.  

All bots which place a bet offers the parameter: ExecuteOnSelection, therefore if you want to declare the exact selection on which you want to place a bet you must set this parameter. Home team selection index is 1, the away team selection index is 2. 

If your strategy for Football bot is to place a bet on home team when a goal is scored, so for instance scores: 1 - 0;2 – 0 and so on, then consequently your action bot ExecuteOnSelection must be set to 1. 

Have a look at on some other articles describing how to execute some bot strategies on football matches:

Thank you for your detailed answer and the interessting background information!

Yes, for my strategy I actually need the realtime match minute because my comparison statistics otherwise does not work exactly.

I am looking for a stable solution with reasonable cost.

Of course, I take the inplay BACK/LAY odds independently of the information that Football Score (MyTools) outputs.

It is great that Bfexplorer gets realtime information about red cards trough the API. This is good to know and I would like to support you if you make this information usable for the bot setup conditions. For example: "Ignore all inplay matches if a red card was given."

Thanks for your help, Stefan!

Football Score tool uses data from betfair, so there is  no need to synchronize such data with betfair markets, because live score api queries match data by market id.  

If you use other source of live score data, then first you need to spend some time on hacking such source of data, some sources makes it difficult by scrambling data as well, for instance all service aggregating live score data from http://www.livesportmedia.eu/ 

goalapi.com seems to be stealing data from other providers, hardly to say what company is actually real provider of live score data for Europe, maybe it is that Czech company I mentioned above. 

Just by judging from your forum name, in your country the average hourly rate for senior software developer is 45 Euro.  

The api source I use offer information about cards as well, this feature is not implement to Football Bot, if you want to build your bespoke bot just send me by email your short project specification.

The biggest problem is the distinct range of competence in communication throughout the community members.

Its like any software just spend a bit of time getting used to it and especially when configuring your interface as this will be a use time saver if done properly

Did you find a program to do wjat you wanted as this could be incredibly useful to all.

Cheers

I could do with knowing  bit more about the coding aswell

Cheers

cayou use the betfair api without having to pay the £300 activation fee

Vey nice Stefan,

This app looks interesting. Is it available via the SDK or some other means ? 

thanks

Hi,

Have a simple question on this. What do I need to do to apply the settings for "use market/order streaming" . My tick box in settings is " greyed out " so the check box can not be turnd on.

Thanks.

Hi Stefan,

So I successfully got ths working and it looks good, thanks for your support.  Is there a way to auto refresh the charts on a user defined interval or is it a browser (Chrome) limitation where I have to refresh the browser page manually to refresh the chart image?

I also would like to have the "record market selection data" on multiple markets at once but have only managed to apply it to the main market opened in Bet Event Trader window.  If I use the execute in order /bots executor on multiple markets in the event browser the bot does not seem to trigger unless I load it into the main bet event trade and execute the bot manually.

Probably something I have overlooked. Hope you can help.

Thanks.

Hi Stefan,

This bot called "save market prices" looks very similar to the "save in play market prices". Are they both available somewhere now the new release is available?

Thanks,

Hi Stefan,

I have installed the latest release and wondered where I can find the "save in-play market prices" bot shown in this video?

Thanks

 Thanks! Could you point me in some direction to set up the code in the software? I played with it (the software) some time ago, but definately I will need a refresh. I am not a code expert what so ever, but I unterstand a little and also I see great potencial in the code you have created. Is there anything in particular you think I will find useful to read or watch?

This bot code shows how to retrieve betfair SP prices. When market is turned at in play, so in code, the line 72, you can add what you want to.

Hi Stefan, Thanks for your time.

However I could not find anything related to if "Betfair Starting prices" are "x" then... the close one was LTP, but is not the same.

Have a look at here:

A key challenge for traders is finding relevant form & historical data on their chosen sport/racing that will allow them to develop a strategy to give them the edge.  Data visualisation can help a user to quickly gain insights to identify such data. The SandDance tool looks useful for this purpose.

i thought it was a good trigger to test if it works..which big project you will start ?
