TOLS: one bet trigger another
Posted in Bot programming by mapper
Hi Stefan,
I have one potentionally very successful idea but I am not sure if BFE is able to do it and how to do it. I want to have two bots with dependency. Second one will run only when first one place the bet.
idea (not the same as I want to do) - for example in football. I have some bot which place bet only when second selection (away team) has lay more than for example 20. This caused that I have some liability on this selection. For example liability is 19 EUR on second selection. At this moment I want to run another bot on another market (first bot runs on Match Odd and second can runs on Asian Handicap). Second bot try to eliminate posible win of away team by backing on away team with the highest course => there is needed to use liability from previous stake.
Is it possible to do it (one bot call another and give it some value(s))? How it can be done? Please explain on any example you want.
And the second part of this item. When I want to use football & hockey events in TOLS together - each type with own bots. How I need to setup (or rewrite bot code) to work only on type of events (football or hockey) I want?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Martin

Use Bfexplorer BOT SDK if you want to program your own betfair bot in C# .NET or Visual Basic .NET
Martin
What are possibilities to automate your betfair betting or trading by using Bfexplorer PRO? You have got two tools:
In the first case (TOL) software selects your selections according to your preferences, and in the second one (ESS) you select manually on which selections you want to run your strategy. Running bot has access only to a market data on which this bot has been executed on and you can run only one bot on a market selection.
Those are implementation details you are not able to change and you can use Bfexplorer PRO only this way.
In the version 3.5 of Bfexplorer PRO I added two bots: ExecuteBotCriteriaDataFile and ExecuteConcurrentlyBotCriteriaDataFile, to open possibility for chaining of bot execution or for executing more bots on one selection. Read those two articles if you want to learn more:
Yes, you can build your bot strategy, but only if you are able to program betfair bot utilizing Bfexplorer BOT SDK. Only using Bfexplorer BOT SDK you can create your betting solution that will associate different markets and enables communication between two bots. That is what your strategy needs.
On the picture above you can see a bespoke solution I built using my Bfexplorer BOT SDK for one user. The bot solution allows executing preset bot strategies on two associate markets.
So the answer to your first question should be answered by you only, are you able to program? The answer to your second question is quite simple. You can run two instances of Bfexplore PRO, on one instance running your football strategy and on the other one your ice hockey strategy.
