May I ask for link to the bot script are you trying to use?

I already shared an article explaining how you can manually initiate the Stop Strategies and Cancel Bets bot in markets that don't have an active score feed.

I'm curious, do you have any difficulties understanding written text?

Please read the following article to understand the process of manually stopping and canceling bets on markets that do not have a live score feed.

Vy ste sa informovali o FootballBote, robote, ktorý sa spolieha na živé výsledky zápasov, a vyjadrili ste otázku týkajúcu sa jeho fungovania na trhoch, kde takéto výsledky nie sú dostupné. Táto otázka pôsobí nezvyčajne, pretože predpokladá, že robot sa používa na trhoch bez prístupu k živým aktualizáciám výsledkov.

Odporúčam spúšťať tohto robota výhradne na udalostiach, ktoré sú pokryté živými výsledkami od Betfairu, s dôrazom na hlavné európske ligy.

Nepreveril som dostupnosť živých výsledkov pre všetky futbalové udalosti ponúkané Betfairom.

Ak sa vaša otázka týka zastavenia už spustených alebo bežiacich robotov na trhoch, kde nie sú dostupné živé výsledky, a pôvodne ste očakávali, že takéto výsledky budú k dispozícii, riešenie tejto situácie je komplexné. Neexistuje priamočiary spôsob, ako vás informovať, že živé výsledky nie sú k dispozícii.

It seems that you are referring to a specific scenario involving a FootballBot that utilizes a live score feed. To ensure accurate understanding, let me rephrase your statement:

"You inquired about the FootballBot, a bot that relies on live score feeds, and expressed a query regarding its operation in markets where such feeds are unavailable. This question appears unusual, as it assumes running the bot in markets without access to live score updates."

"I would recommend running this bot exclusively on events covered by Betfair's live score feed, primarily focusing on major European leagues."

"I haven't verified the availability of live score feeds for all football events offered by Betfair."

"If your question pertains to stopping already executed or running bots in markets where live feeds are not available, and you initially expected the availability of such feeds, resolving this situation becomes complex. There is no straightforward indication to inform you when the live scores are unavailable."

Please let me know if I have accurately captured the intended meaning of your statement or if there is any additional context I should consider.

You ask about FootballBot, the bot using live score feed, and you want to run this bot on markets without such live score feed, very strange question.

Please, read what you had wrote: “..to start a FootballBot..”

I would suggest to run this bot only on events which are covered by betfair live score feed, so mainly big leagues in Europe, I think.

I did not check availability of live score feed for all football events betfair offer.

If your question is about stopping already executed/running bots, on markets which actually do not offer live feed, and you expected the live feed will be available, then such case cannot be done a simple way, as there is no signal available for you saying the live score is not available.

The web site has no security certificate (https), therefor when installing Bfexplorer app click on More info ..  and Run anyway button.

The tool Strategy Bot executor has nothing to do with type of market used to execute bot strategies on. I think you misunderstand the concept of the MarketName parameter some of bots offer to execute an action bot on associated market.

You can post your requests to betfair score feed to betfair developer web site. One developer reported problems with its own app stopping to receive score from betfair web api:

No Live Match Time or Live Scores for all main football matches

I have attached video from my test. You can both see that Football Live Score tool works fine for all matches betfair showing live scores as well. Not for all matches betfair web page shows live score, you can see that as well in my video.

So what I said is true, if betfair web page shows live score my tool shows that score as well, for matches not covered by betfair my tool does not show score, as tool uses the same source of the live score feed.

Mossad, I would expect apologies from you for what you said: “Not working also for me since yesterday. This Livescore is terrible and those arguments are ridiculous.”

Sir, bfexplorer app uses undocumented betfair api to retrieve football scores. If you have got any problems with that feed then the problem is on your side or on betfair one. Betfair uses cloudflare to block misuse of their data. I hope it is not your case.

Anytime you report problems I check it on my computer and all works fine for me.

1)

By using BetfairServiceProvider:

https://github.com/StefanBelo/Bfexplorer-BOT-SDK/blob/master/TestScripts/TestBetfairServiceProvider.fsx

By using BfexplorerService:

https://github.com/StefanBelo/Bfexplorer-BOT-SDK/blob/master/TestScripts/TestBfexplorerService.fsx

By using IBfexplorerService in Betfair Bot:

https://github.com/StefanBelo/Bfexplorer-BOT-SDK/blob/master/MyFsharpBot/ShowMyAccountFundsBot.fs

2)

Bfexplorer offers bot named: "Place SP Bet", so using this bot you setup its criteria, name it, and then you are ready to use it in any bot trigger.

Yes, you can find PlaceBet/s method/s on BetfairServiceProvider or  BfexplorerService, but in such case you need to know what you want to do exactly, so first please read betfair api documentation:

https://docs.developer.betfair.com/display/1smk3cen4v3lu3yomq5qye0ni/placeOrders

I have checked football live score and football bot, and on all currently live matches there is score feed available.

Trigger bot script is executed by bot named: "Execute Trigger Bot" and there is quite a lot of post about this bot on the bfexplorer forum.

You cannot debug bot trigger script when the script is in .fsx file, because such script is built by bfexplorer so you have no access to the assembly.

The bot trigger script can build in project assembly, just rename the bot script to .fs and add it to your bot assembly project. You must remove #r and #I directives, and because of IBotTrigger initialization by bfexplorer such bot script must be the only IBotTrigger object in your assembly.

Again there are some posts on the bfexplorer forum showing how I debug bot trigger scripts without adding it to separate assembly, just search for IBotTrigger. Well yes, it was not true debugging in Visual studio, but I was able to use Visual Code as IDE for writing bot trigger code, and with all support of Intellisense and error checking when writing the bot trigger code in Visual Code.

1) You must run Visual Studio as Administrator

2) Debug your project starting external program:

C:\Program Files (x86)\BeloSoft\Bfexplorer\Bfexplorer.exe

3) And of course the project must be built to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\BeloSoft\Bfexplorer\

So you must set Build/Output path

I have just updated the Bfexplorer BOT SDK to the latest version of Bfexplorer 2.0.7106

Your VolumeDifferenceBotTrigger trigger bot script.

It is possible to write simple bot trigger script, as an example look at here:

Lay the favourite <50% market

It shows how to use traded volume. I will make your trigger later today.

To Bot Strategy:

You can use Place Bet bot as the main bot placing your bet, first setting it to place bet at exact odds, then setting it to take what is offered, or end the bot execution. If bot execution is ended/cancelled then all unmatched bets placed by the bot are cancelled.

It means that you have to program just bot trigger changing the bot settings at required time.

To Bfexplorer BOT SDK:

The error message is clear. You must build your projects to .net 4.7.2 because bfexplorer app is built to this .net framework. 

The summary:

Well, if you were not able to fix your problem when building Bfexplorer BOT SDK projects yourself, I do not think you will be able to program your bot trigger strategy.

Therefore use just Place Bet bot to place your bet at allowed odds range, so no needs to program anything just setting up the bot and run it.
