Delayed API Status
Hello. Since yesterday I have a delayed API on my BF Explorer trading software. I had no bots running when this happened and now I am also unable to trade as all stakes in the markets keep flashing all over the ladders on random odds, being absolutely impossible to figure out what was the last price ...

Free Trial Review
I tried BFexplorer, having used 3-4 different software applications beforehand.
The 2 days utilising the software, I managed to get a feel for the product and like the modern display on the black background.
Bets placed were very responsive with no lagging experienced from other products.
A few ...

Betfair Bot
Miro, your custom bot script had been developed without supporting StakeType parameter. Actually when your bot script was developed such bot parameter (StakeType) was not offered by bfexplorer bots.
After I finished your custom bot I sent you the source code as well, so just have a look on function: ToObjectValue, if you want to add support for StakeType then add it to this function.
Betfair Bot
Miro, there is actually no problem with this bot, when bot is executed with PlaceBetInAllowedOddsRange, and you set required parameters for MinimumOddsDifference and MaximumOddsDifference, then initial bet is placed only when those parameter values are met, so the bot will do exactly what you want to.
Once a bet is placed, and if it is not fully matched, then bot updates bet odds to fulfill your requirements for bet placing at required calculated odds, but in this process the MinimumOddsDifference and MaximumOddsDifference parameters are not used, these parameters are used only for initial bet placing.
If you require other bot behavior in this stage (when bot updates odds), then of course a custom bot must be programmed, but you did not mentioned such behavior.
Mir.
Problem solved.
I do not have to use parameter "StakeType" in my CSV file.
-------------------------------------------------------
All Stakes I can define exactly as Stake; prepared before
Example:
Tick Profit €1@3.65 is Stake €73@3.65
Mir.
Problem solved.
I do not use this bot for trading on greyhounds.

Mir.
Problem solved.
I do not use this shoe for trading on greyhounds.
-----------------------
Condition: MaximumOddsDifference is condition for specific bot (not for start complex trading strategy).
I tried to set up 2 Place Bet bot in chain, but it is uncomfortable (1st bot with small stake, back @ 1.01, 2nd bot run when MaximumOddsDifference is awaited)
Mir.
I can´t change StakeType in my CSV file.
Is my syntax correct?
670.00;Back;Place Bet;Odds;670.00;BetType;Back;Stake;2.22;StakeType;Tick Profit
Mir.
For examle Greyhounds:
If I run the bot 5 min before the bot calculate odds from (and PriceImprovement) from this situation.
But I want to run the bot 10 minutes before and calculate and place bet AFTER maximumOddsDiff is 2 (maybe 2 minutes before)
-------------------
I do not want to place @5.60 because -> the condition is not satisfied (maximumOddsDiff is 2)
But if ALL conditions are met ... the bot place bet ONLY at 5.60
What's the use that ODDS are already other
Betfair Bot
It is clear that bot parameters setting have influence on bot behavior when placing bets, and that bet is always placed at some odds (0 is not valid odds), so set PlaceBetInAllowedOddsRange to true, and OddsDifference parameters to required values, then your bot will place a bet when OddsDifference parameters are in preset range. The default value for Odds range is 1.01 to 1000.0, so bet is placed at odds calculated by using the current offered odds, and of course reflecting all other Bet Attributes parameters setting.
Betfair Bot
There is no support for entry criteria to be read from CSV file, on the other hand you can develop your custom bot or bot trigger, so then your bot will use whatever features you will program to betfair bot.
Mir.
Can I use "Entry Criteria" in CSV file?
And how?
---------------------------------
For example:
Mir.
I do not want to place bet at any range...
I want to place a bet: IF maximumOddsDiff is 2 and at this time with PriceImprovement 2
Betfair Bot
You did not set PlaceBetInAllowedOddsRange parameter, therefore your bet was placed at exact odds, initially set to the Odds I described. If you wanted to place your bet in allowed odds range then why you did not set the parameter: PlaceBetInAllowedOddsRange?
I do not know what is your use case scenario for PlaceBets bot? You can simulate such behavior by using Place Bet bot and Execute on Selections bot.
Mir.
Do you remember your bot in old version BFE which names "PlaceBets bot"?
Mir.
Yes, at the current odds!
Not at a time when the criteria are met, but at the time when the robot is started
Betfair Bot
You did not set the parameter PlaceBetInAllowedOddsRange and Odds is set to 0, what means your bot should place a bet at Odds 0, right?
In such cases bot sets Odds parameter to the current odds depending on the BetType (so Back in your case, and as OfferMyBet was set to True, the Odds was set to current offered lay price) when the bot was executed.
Mir.
I have some issue with PlaceBet bot.
Place bet with this setting - will place bet at the odds when the bot is started, not when criteria are met. In this case: Maximum odds difference
The bot selected Odds (7.2) and after all criteria met, placed bet at this Odds. Not at Odds 6.2 as I expected
Betfair Bot
Man, SET_WINNER attribute includes all Set Winner markets, so 1, 2, and 3, 4, 5 if such markets are open during a match by betfair. SET_WINNER attribute is not something I have introduced myself to bfexplorer, it is the attribute offered by betfair api to filter markets.
Bet Event or Bet Event Trader offers Markets toolbar button if you click on this button, all associated event markets are showed, that is the second way how you can open any associated bet event market.

OK - thank you for your help.

Betfair allows you to bet on "Set 2 Winner" - the following examples are from the "Betting Assistant".
Can I count that the filter "Set 2 Winner" will be in the next version of the program "Bfexplorer"?
