How to enable MCP /sse + WithParameters on Bfexplorer 5.08.0404?
Hi Stefan,
I'm automating bet placement from my own app and I need to place a Back bet with a dynamic MinimumOdds (a per-bet floor price computed externally), so the exchange never matches below my floor.
The changelog mentions ExecuteBfexplorerStrategySettingsWithParameters (MCP tool, ...

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.

Whether you could put a sample screenshot?
I remind you that we want "close..." because of the results (during the match).
Betfair Bot
Yes, that is correct.
Mir.
Instead of Place Bet bot try Close Selection Bet Position..

Stefan: Since yesterday, I try to send you an Excel spreadsheet, but the e-mail comes back as undelivered.

Is this sequence correct?

Thank you for the information.

I have just released the latest version of bfexplorer adding PointsScore and PlayerServingIndex parameters to Tennis Bot.
Do you know that you can add multi value for all score parameters? For instance PointsScore: 0 - 30;15 - 30
Lacoste
Nice. I'll try to set up my bots using existing parameters/criteria and come back to say how it went.
Betfair Bot
The best way to test any staking plan bot is to execute your strategy on greyhounds markets. A new race is started every 20 minutes or so.
If you want to see bets placed by bot in Bot Executor, just double clicking on the market will open it to Bet Event view, so you can see your bets, and at what market state your bot finished on the market, if you had set StopMarketMonitoring parameter, the market will be set to Inactive so prices will not be updated.

“Anytime this number changes it is either a newer player break, or re-break, right?” Yes.
Everytime first page conditions are applied, a break occurs, but only if this break happens as both players are on serve (there’s no advantage/disadvantage in breaks).
Let’s say the score goes: 1-0 (P1 hold), 1-1 (P2 hold), 2-1 (P1 hold), 3-1 (P1 break) - this break is registered by 1st page conditions - 4-1 (P1 hold), 4-2 (P2 hold), 4-3 (P2 break) - this break is registered by 2nd page conditions and now conditions are reset - 5-3 (P1 break) - again this break is registered by 1st page conditions - 5-4 (P2 break) - again this break is registered by 2nd page conditions - and so on…
Another situation: 1-0 (P1 hold), 2-0 (P1 break) - 1st page conditions - 3-0 (P1 hold), 4-0 (P1 break) - this break is registered by 2nd page conditions - from now on if P1 breaks again will not be registered by my conditions, but if P2 breaks before P1 gets another break then page 2 conditions are waiting for another break that will be registered.
Page 2 conditions are applied when there is a re-break or the player gets the second break advantage. If there’s a difference bigger than one break beetween players, it won’t be triggered.
Maybe if you put parameters like PointsScore, PlayerServing and criteria to set up difference beetween GamesScore (based on players) or Player1SetScore / Player2SetScore / Player1GameScore / Player2GameScore / Player1Serving etc. and conditional criteria.
I’m thinking this to be used by other traders.

That means that you are applying a staking plan to your betting, it means that you must use the “Execute Till Target Profit” bot to execute your tennis bot.
On the other hand this staking strategy plan requires execution of matches step by step only. A new bet is placed (bot executed) only after previous bet result is known.
If you bet or trade at the same time on many markets, then you can monitor your bet position on these markets by My Bet Position tool/view, and you can close bet position on all markets when necessary.

This seems to be a very good idea, so I will develop a bot in following days. Save the spreadsheet without text player’s names and scores, so it can be used as template and post it to me by email.

I have a list, eg. 50 tennis matches - Bet LAY (not trading) - eg. I won 2 matches (2 x 5 Euro) - I won 10 Euro - at this point the program has to stop and not to buy more.
skarabeusz
I need to close the entire market Tennis (stop program if "X" profit).
Mir.
ok.
If you need to place one open bet and one close bet you can use Place Bet and Close Bet Position bot.
There are all you need in one trading cycle

Stefan,
So how do I monitor the following?
I can only see the stake and odds on "Output"
What is the best way? Do I UNTICK "StopMarketMonitoring"?
Also, I can see some wins but no 'rollover' stakes when betting
