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 ...

Yes, you can insert images to your article as well, but you have to use direct link to the image, not web page link.
What is Entry Criteria setting, do you understand that if Entry Criteria are not met and you set EvaluateEntryCriteriaOnlyOnce then bot stops its execution after the entry criteria are not met.

Why do you ask?
Betfair Bot
Here are some questions:
Can you place a bet when a market is suspended or closed?
Is your bot (bfexplorer bot) executed when a market is suspended or closed?

I'm testing an Excel spreadsheet and I have the following observations:
1. Both matches ended up - is a mismatch in the tabulation of results on the sheet.
2. At the same time, the Excel spreadsheet presented other data.

Watch my video.

Stefan: Let me know when you're done working on this project.
Mir.
Thanks, I have no further questions...
Betfair Bot
Actually all Entry Criteria are sharable properties of the market or the market selection/s, and running bots with its activity influence all those values. Your question just shows that you do not understand what you asked.
Mir.
Stefan, thank you very much for explanation!
-----------------------------------------
And what about "Entry Criteria"?
Is it possible that ongoing results of concurrent running bots can influence the activities of each other? (means through ProfitBalance, SelectionProfitBalance, HaveMatchedBets)
Betfair Bot
Miro, this is actually quite funny because if I remember it correctly I added “Concurrent Execution” bot by your request when you tried to build some trading strategy.
The main difference between those two bots is the “Execute Bots” bot just starts bots execution and then stops.
The “Concurrent Execution” bot starts bots execution in its own execution pool, so your action bots are hidden, in the “Market Bots” view you can see running only your “Concurrent Execution” bot.
That is one advantage, hiding action bots execution, so by canceling one bot, you can execution of all actions bots.
Let’s say you want to create a spoofing bot, placing bets 2, 3, 4, 6 ticks from the best offered price. To construct such bot you would need to create four “Place Bet” bots, allowing place a bet in odds range and setting the PriceImprovement parameter.
It is obvious that you would like spoof on back, and sometimes on lay side, but you do not need to create four versions for backing and four versions for laying. You will use bots execution from clicking on ladder feature, so you can name your “Place Bet” bot settings with general names, like “Place 2 ticks from”
Finally you add bots to “Execute Bots” or “Concurrent Execution” bot parameter: BotNames, and name your spoofing bot, job done.
Activating “User Ladder” and selecting your spoofing bot in “Bots to Execute” view, you can now execute your bot by clicking on ladder. Bot will take bet type, stake and odds as the maximal lay odds your bot will operate to, and opposite for back side.
“Concurrent Execution” bot has internally implemented two features:
If any of internally running bots will end, all the rest of bots is forced to end their execution as well.
When bots are created for execution, only the first bot will take parameters from a click on ladder. Unfortunately this feature limits for now using the “Concurrent Execution” bot in scenarios similar to spoofing bot example I described above.
I can remove this feature, what I have done in my tests, or can make it adjustable.

I put a zipped Excel file:

Mir.
Cool!
skarabeusz
Thank you for placing a sample file - I have to test these settings.
Mir.
set of bots... (only test)

skarabeusz
Could you put a sample file ".BOTS", which accomplishes these objectives?
Mir.
I believe so...
skarabeusz
I'm not sure we well understood.
BOT bought a bet when the result was 1-0 (SetsScore) and 1-2 (GamesScore).
You have to close the selection, if will be the result 1-0 (SetsScore) and 3-4 (GamesScore).
Betfair Bot
Unfortunately, there is no information whether a tournament is man's or woman's one, or singles or doubles one, in betfair api data, so you must filter it yourself manually by tournament name.
In the Event Browser view, the tournament name is presented in Event Details column. You can filter or group by this column, so this way you can quicker navigate to matches you want to open.
For doubles, there is / in Event name, right? For instance: Nedunchezhiyan/Nguyen v Chung/Yoo
I believe you know that any data presented by bfexplorer in grid views can be sorted, grouped, filtered and searched. The filtering feature can be used for Event column by setting fallowing filter:
Event Does not contain /
What do you think the result will be?
All double matches will be filtered out.
Mir.
Close Selection Bet Position is an action bot, you must set up bot before use in the Tennis Bot.
You can set many different variations of the Tennis bot (a real combination of SetsScore, GamesScore, etc.) but use only one-two-three types of action bots.
You can cover all of situations in tennis match by Tennis bot.
