Bots
 

Bots can be limiting. I have BetBotPro and it is limiting. It is good as a straight forward bot but that is where it ends. It will not let me back and lay in the same race and off memory I can't run two bots on the same race. Can anyone point me to a bot that will do the following. Back and lay in the same race. Be able to set the parameters such as (1) Back at SP 2nd Fav if >$4 and if 3rd fav >$6 and 4th Fav if >$10 etc either to level stakes or dutching etc and at the same time (2) lay fav if between $2-3.50, 2nd fav if< $3.50, 3rd fav if <$5, etc to liability. Thanks

Thanks RP
I see this is a monthly subscription add on. One of my pet hates. I don't mind paying if there value. Ie updating etc. Is there any alternatives?

You could try http://www.betangel.com It can do a lot of stuff, there's also the facility to use excel, does get a tad complex though, certainly for me anyway.

There's a free 14 day trial so you can see what you're getting, half way through they'll offer you a reduced subscription for 99GBP p.a. ~ not sure what that is in Aus $

Thebetengine.co.uk does what you want I think. Costs about $16 per month.

or learn to code your own bot.

Something to aspire too

At least that way you won't be constrained by any software as you can make it do what ever you want. Ths sample code is a great start from betfair and all you need to learn is how to run it and then play with modifying it. Google is great for learning to code and help with how to do things.

Hi Beton,

Gruss software was the first bot I tried, you can run it out of an excel spreadsheet for any triggering that you want. They have been around for years. I don't use them anymore because we have our own (not for sale) solution now.

Unfortunately they too ask for money but at 6 pounds per month it is as cheep as it gets. Then all you have to do is complete the triggers in excel and you have what you need.

More information please UB. Are you talking about modifying an existing bot, as in tap into the software and modify it? Or are you talking about a purpose built piece of software and what's this about Betfair sample code??

I will second this, been around a long time, support is second to none, fantastic user forum to get help, with out knowledge of excel this bot is still very good, but with excel it is unlimited on what it can do.

Cheapest one you will find, many on here use it and there are a few on there forum that can write you an excel sheet to do what you want for a price.

Free 30 day trial then less than $10 a month.

Hear hear Shaun, great bit of software & and also a very good way to expand ones Excel knowledge.

I will start looking at the gruss option. Thanks for all the advice.

It would take you about a week to do a "Learn XXX in 24 hours" if you spent a couple of hours each night learning to code where XXX is php, java, c#, etc.

You can then check out http://bdp.betfair.com/ which is the devloepr portal for betfair.

Then go to http://bdp.betfair.com/index.php?op...d=59&Itemid=113 and grab some sample code. Look at all the options. You have php, java, excel, R, VB, etc.

Look at the sample code. go buy (or download) a book on a crash course in coding for that language and you will be on your way and you will never look back.

That's how I did it. Once you can code your own bot then you can make it do whatever you want.

I think I'll let that one go through to the keeper UB, thanks anyway, RP
