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, ...

Yes, at the current odds!
Not at a time when the criteria are met, but at the time when the robot is started

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.

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

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"?

Setup your two “Place Bet” bots with parameters instructing the bot to place your bets when required odds conditions are met, and of course name your two bots settings.
Now you can use the bot: “Execute Bots” adding your two bot names to BotNames parameter. This way you will create a bot which will execute your “Place Bet” bots.
In the Add a new bot dialog you can find another bots used to construct your new bot by putting together more action bots, and names of these bots suggests how the action bots will be executed:
Execute on Selections
Execute Bots
Execute on Associated Market
Execute Till Target Profit
Execute Trigger Bot
If Then Else
Chain Execution
Concurrent Execution
Repeat Until

Different betfair events offer different market types. Therefore if you select the event type, and other filters are set as well, you can reload market types by clicking “Reload market types” button (This button is on the left under MATCH_ODDS text in your picture), so reloaded market types will reflect your current filter setting.
For tennis event there are quite a lot of market types, and set winner is flagged as: SET_WINNER. Such market type will Set 1 Winner, Set 2 Winner therefore if you are interested only for Set 2 Winner market you can filter such market by using grid view filters features, betfair api cannot filter only Set 2 Winner market.

I have just added multi value support for the GamesScore parameter. Install the latest version of bfexplorer.

Hi Stefan, I cannot set the bot so it could work like I want. I entered multiple values entries in Games Score and I think that's why the bot is not being activated because you mentioned that only SetScore and PreviousSetGamesScore parameters accept multiple values. However in my example I wanted the bot to be activated in the current set at the particular score ( 2 - 0;3 - 1 etc ) that's why I put this values in the GamesScore. Any ideas how to solve this?
Mikus79
Perfect, I will have it tested tonight. Thank you Stefan for quick response.
Betfair Bot
SetsScore and PreviousSetGamesScore parameters accept multiple value entries, so sets separated by semicolon;
In your case you should set:
2 - 0;3 - 1;4 - 2;5 - 3;6 - 4;7 - 5;7 - 6
It means that if any of above scores is valid, an action bot is triggered. After an action bot is triggered by tennis bot, the tennis bot ends its execution, it means that an action bot is executed (bet is placed) only once.
Betfair Bot
Yes, it is correct setting for trading bot. When you use ProfitLossType parameter set to Percentage, the reached percentage value at which the bot closes its bet position is calculated from bet liability and not from odds/price percentage change. So if you set Loss to 50, and your liability is for instance 10 Euro, then your bet position is closed in loss when loss is greater than or equal to 5 Euro.
The 100% profit is never reached so you bot setting will close your bet position only when loss trigger is fired.
I would suggest testing bot settings, only your trading bot in practice mode, to learn how bot really behaves with your current bot settings.

Eduardo, forgive me but the subscription issue we already discussed many times.
You will get professional subscription paying more than for basic subscription only, if you cannot afford professional subscription, but for that I require active posting of articles or comments here on the bfexplorer forum, with at least some value for other bfexplorer users.
This web site is also my blog, as a software developer and of course as I actively trade on betfair, I post here ideas or just what interest me, and what have some relation to sports betting.
In this post I showed how I tested the oddschecker bot I develop for one user through freelancer. He wanted some manual for bfexplorer so with this article I showed him how to use bfexplorer.
I posted other articles last days, for instance about bettingexpert, and those ideas could be transformed to some bots or tools, but I need discussion about such ideas, and not what you say, what can be rephrased like:
Stefan will do/did a lot of work, and I will do nothing just try to use it and maybe I find my way to be profitable on betfair.
