How to test betfair bot
Posted in Bot programming by StefanBelo
You spend some time on setting up your bot or programming your own bot script in C# or Visual Basic, and now it is time to test it. It is really good idea to do so in the practice mode, so you open some market for monitoring and run your bot.
If your bot requires specific condition in the prices offer, all you can do is to wait till such market conditions appear, or if you have got more betfair accounts you can open some quite market and create such prices offer by placing real bets from your second betfair account.
In last days I worked on such bot scripts and testing was really quite difficult, therefore I created Bfexplorer PRO plugin for testing bots: Debug My Bot
You can use this plugin to change 3 best price offers for back/lay, simulate bet matching, and move prices or create gap in offered prices.
How to test your bot with this plugin?
Open a market for monitoring and pause it, so Bfexplorer PRO will stop market updating. Switch off full market depth. Switch on the practice, and open Debug My Bot plugin. Run your bot and manipulate best offered prices the way you need for testing all bot features.
