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 the Draw at (around) Halftime strategy that works just fine.

 

My development is as follows:

 

1. Bot to lay the draw

To place lay bet on the draw we need to setup:

Place Bet bot by setting the following parameters:

 

AllowPlacingBetInPlay: True

OfferMyBet: False

BetType: Lay

Stake: 10

ExecuteOnSelection: 3

and we name this action bot: Lay draw.

 

2. Bot to back the draw, close position and cash out

To place back bet on the draw and close position we need to setup:

Close Selection Bet Position at Odds bot by setting the following parameters:

 

Odds: 0

HedgingEnabled: yes

CheckingLastPriceTraded: yes

CheckingLastPriceTradedDifference: 3

ExecuteOnSelection: 3

and we name this action bot: Back and cash out

 

3. Bot to trigger bot 2 once 0 – 0 breaks

To trigger back bet placing at in-play when a goal is scored (to close position with a profit), but also when match time is 75 min (to stop losing).

 

Football bot, setting the parameters:

BotName: Back and cash out

StartCriteria: [Score] In ('1 - 0', '0 - 1') Or [MatchTime] = 75

We name this bot: Back draw when 0 – 0 breaks

 

4. Bot to sequence triggering bots 1 and 3

This bot is responsible for sequentially executing bots 1 and 3, so that a lay, a back, and finally a closing position with hedging are executed:

Sequence Execution bot, setting the parameters:

 

BotNames: Lay draw; Back draw when 0 – 0 breaks

ExecuteOnSelection: 3

We name this bot: Half Time LTD strategy

 

5. Bot to trigger sequence only if scoreline is 0-0

To trigger lay bet placing at in-play only when there is still 0 - 0 score. If at least one goal has been scored in the match, bot stops execution and strategy ends here.

We need to use:

Football bot, setting the parameters:

 

BotName: Half Time LTD strategy

StartCriteria: [Score]= ‘0 – 0’

StopCriteria: [Goals]>= 1

Save this bot as: Lay draw in-play when 0 – 0

 

6. Bot to trigger bot 5 when lay draw odd < 2,9

I want to place lay bet only when LastPriceTraded on The Draw selection is less than 2,9. We need to set this criteria by:

Execute Bots bot, and set:

 

Entry Criteria to: LastPriceTraded Is less than 2,9

BotNames: Lay draw in-play when 0 – 0

ExecuteOnSelection: 3.

We name this bot: Lay draw in-play when 0 - 0 if draw odds < 2,9

 

And so we are ready to execute our strategy on selected football matches using the tool: Strategy Executor.

 

From here, I have some questions:

 

- Do you think I've used the right bots to set up my strategy, or should I use others?

- Do you think I should introduce any hedging or risk minimization strategy if the game progresses and remains 0-0, other than quitting in the 75th minute?

- Is there any bot or similar that allows you to automatically select a series of matches in advance according to certain rules?

- Is there a way to run the software in the background, or to keep the bots running when the computer is turned off?

 

Thanks you all in advance.

 

Regards

 

Manuel
