Bot of the week - dutching 1/2 of runners

Hi Stefan,

if you offer continue, you can create back dutching bot which back half of all runners in the market with stake 100 and profit 5.

 

My second point is: How can I setup back dutching bot to back all runners under odd 30?

 

Thank you!

    I think that it has nothing to do with profitability, but I will do it as the betfair bot sample you can modify for dutching, just to show how to program a betfair bot.

    Hi Stefan,

    Thank you! It can be good to see and test (maybe for trying to create something new in sample code to improve bot).

     

    I have one question about dutching bot & TOLS. Yesterday, I try it and bot starts when Total traded value is => 250000 as I setup (ignore TOLS time setup to start monitoring market). Why this bot ignore time settings in TOLS? Or how can I setup dutch bot to accept TOLS settings?

     

    EDIT: Stefan, could you please explain me more about stake parameter in dutching? How bot use this paramater? It's maximum stake for each dutch selection? Thank you!

     

    EDIT2: how to prevent dutch (back dutching) runners with back value 1000?

    Trade Opportunity Lookup Service (TOLS)

    Martin, any bot can be executed only on a market. Bot is not able to open a market for monitoring, so you have got two possibilities: To run a bot manually, or to use TOLS or Execute my strategy on selections tools.

    When action bot is executed from TOLS and when you set some market or selection criteria which could postpone bot execution then bot can be executed on a market later, but it is executed by TOLS only from a moment TOLS starts market monitoring, and you set this time in TOLS.

    Betfair bot: DutchRunnersInOddsRangeBot

    Bfexplorer PRO offers two types of betfair bots for dutching, to dutch all runners on the market, or to duch number selected number of runners where you can choose from which runner you want to place dutch bets.

    You can use as well the Bet Wizard to dutch all runners or just selected ones.

     

    In this week betfair bot competition there was just one proposal for building betfair bot, so here it is my implementation. This dutching bot dutches all runners in preset odds range. The stake is calculated for preset payout or required profit. You can duch back or lay bets.

    The bot uses following parameters:

    • BetType
    • MinimalOdds
    • MaximalOdds
    • Stake
    • MinReturnOnInvestment

    If you want to dutch for required profit then set the parameter: MinReturnOnInvestment, otherwise setting the parameter: Stake will dutch for required payout.

    Dutching just selected runners and closing position at in-play could be a strategy for those with live pictures.

    You can download the source code of this betfair bot.

    After downloading the zip file, unpack it and copy betfair bot file into MyBots folder. To use this bot you need to refer to it by full class name:

    Bfexplorer.Scripting.DutchRunnersInOddsRangeBot

    You can see it the screenshot above.
