Football Trading 3 Ticks Profit On Draw
Posted in Betfair Strategy by StefanBelo
One of the most popular strategies similar to any betfair strategy which depends on odds trend changes. Simply said when there is no goal odds on draw shortens.
To be profitable long term you must select matches you want to trade on, in such case you can use the tool Execute my strategy on selections.
If you prefer to use Trade opportunity lookup tool then you should set at least some market criteria (Total traded) and Selection criteria for instance start trading session only if favorite is offered >= 1.8. Set the parameter: Evaluate market or selection criteria only once.
On the screenshot above you can see one mistake I made, to run this strategy on a market with very low liquidity.

Stefan, I've read that article Some thoughts on an old chestnut - Lay the Draw and try to create TOL solution with this strategy. It's almost working correct but I need new possibility to complete it. I mean "Fill Or Kill" for killing (deactiv) bot for placing protect lay 1,8 if goal is scored before. I try to read about on Chech language but I was killed myself))). I understand that those Chech article about killing by time not by another bot execution. Is it possible to add it or maybe there is something for this in Bot executor yet? Thank you.

I've just understood, it cancels as I set AtInPlayKeepBet to False. Thank you.

Stefan, I’ve created TOL system for Laying Draw according this article. I’ve tested it this weekend and I’d like to improve it or maybe to reconstruct it if I used wrong bot types. There are 6 bots there.
TOL bot called LAYING EX.
LAYING LAY as you can see executes three bots:
First Lay
Back on 1,8 for placing protected bet if there will no goal till odds on Draw fall down till 1,8
and Score
After first goal is scored the bot Score switch on bot Wait and close
Wait and close has to wait for 2 minutes and (if we are in Profit) switch on last bot Close on goal
Close on goal has to wait the profit reaches 3 usd and hedges position. If market will go against we have Back on 1,8's bet to provide us not great loss or zero if there will be last minute goal.
Problem is that Close on goal has very different ways of its behavior. Once it waits till end of match. Once it hedges position in any moment except expected 3 usd profit moment.
What did I do wrong? Thank you.

In the Football bot executor, you did not set the parameter GoalsDifferenceIsAbsoluteValue to True, so GoalDifference 1 is valid only when home team scores, otherwise when away team scores the goal difference is 0 - 1 = -1.
In the latest version of Bfexplorer PRO I added new parameters for this bot, watch this video.

Thank you, Stefan. I've tested yesterday both variants yours and mine in training mode. I've noticed one strange thing. There were no losses, just profit or zeros in My Results window.
I decided to check all the bets before congratulations to myself of graal appearance. Sure I found out there were several real losses which had stayed in shadow. What's wrong here? Thank you.

My Results
If you use My Results tool in the training mode then bet settling is simulated using betfair results service rss.betfair.com. The event results are presented only in English language on rss.betfair.com, so you must use English as your default language on betfair web site, otherwise bet settling cannot operate correctly.

I've set English language as a default on Betfair site in the morning. It did not help. It goes on to show losses like zero in My Results while training mode...

If you did so, all names of teams are in English. Have you got all in English?

Seems the problem is that there are different languages used on different places and windows of BF PRO2. I've marked Russian words by RED and English words by GREEN on the shot below. Sorry for great size, it's because of readability. The full file is here. It seems depends on where and how does BF get info for displaying IMHO...

1) Close Bfexplorer PRO.
2) Close all betfair web pages.
3) Open a new betfair web page where you set Language to English before login to betfair.
4) Login to betfair and check if all web pages are in English, if not clear cache of your Internet browser.
5) Try login again, if all pages are in English you can open Bfexplorer PRO, all events names should be in English, if not repeat from 1).
