A kinf of Lay the Draw at (around) Halftime
Hi,
I’m a new member here. I've spent some days watching a number of videos, reading community and blog articles, and testing the software in Practice Mode, and I must say it’s really awesome.
There are still many details I don't know, but to date I've managed to set up a sort of Lay ...

Machine Learning vs. AI Agents in Sports Betting: A Paradigm Shift
In a previous post, we talked about how difficult it can be to build a standard Machine Learning (ML) system for Betfair from scratch. It requires a lot of work, including handling data, coding live pipelines, and managing databases. But now, a new method is changing everything: AI Agents using ...

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
Graf
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.
Tony
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
Graf
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.
Tony
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
M0ss@d
I never said what you stated is not true. What I say is that having only 2 livescores for 36 inplay matches is terrible.
M0ss@d
Betfair has 36 inplay matches at this very momment...and there are only 2 (!!!) livescores working !
Betfair Bot
I have attached video from my test. You can both see that Football Live Score tool works fine for all matches betfair showing live scores as well. Not for all matches betfair web page shows live score, you can see that as well in my video.
So what I said is true, if betfair web page shows live score my tool shows that score as well, for matches not covered by betfair my tool does not show score, as tool uses the same source of the live score feed.
Mossad, I would expect apologies from you for what you said: “Not working also for me since yesterday. This Livescore is terrible and those arguments are ridiculous.”
Graf
All japanese and thai matches that started at 11h and 12h with 0' and 0-0 score ? Sorry, but this is not Betfair problem.
Graf
Problem persists. Tired of losing money because never know when livescores are working or not...
M0ss@d
Not working also for me since yesterday. This Livescore is terrible and those arguments are ridiculous. :(
Tony
So please check now, because it's still not working for me and for everyone else, so it's not "my problem".
Betfair Bot
Sir, bfexplorer app uses undocumented betfair api to retrieve football scores. If you have got any problems with that feed then the problem is on your side or on betfair one. Betfair uses cloudflare to block misuse of their data. I hope it is not your case.
Anytime you report problems I check it on my computer and all works fine for me.

Bfexplorer offers bot named: "Place SP Bet", so using this bot you setup its criteria, name it, and then you are ready to use it in any bot trigger.
Yes, you can find PlaceBet/s method/s on BetfairServiceProvider or BfexplorerService, but in such case you need to know what you want to do exactly, so first please read betfair api documentation:

Yes, it was down only last night. It's working fine again. Thanks
