Underneath the ordered favourite selection box is another numbered box. This allows you to select multiple
favourites or how many favourites from the selected favourite. So 1st fav and the number 2 will select the first
two favourites. See the favourite box description further down for more details. In the above example we will
be betting on the 3rd and 4th favourites.
The selected runners (as a result of one of the above options) will be shown under the ‘Market Bets’ panel only
when the current time is xx seconds before the race start, and xx is the ‘Secs before place a bet’
option (Bet Settings Panel/Betting Settings).
For any bet to be placed, a few things must happen:
A) The selection price is less than ‘Maximum Price’ and more than ‘Minimum Price’ (Bet Settings/Selections tab).
B) The ‘Bot Status’ (top area) is Running. This is accomplished by pressing the ‘Start’ button (top area).
C) Also any other criteria you filter like number of runners, % back/lay ratio must also be within range
for a bet to be placed.
The status of the market is shown by the Market Events panel. ie. Market closed, suspended etc
The above picture shows that two bets were placed and settled. The Market Bets panel shows the
two selections which were 1st and 2nd favourites at the time specified.
The panel also shows the bets and the prices that were matched.
Keeperhill Euro was matched fully at 3.75 and Silverhill Lass was matched at 4.70.
Oakhill Rosie won this race. Pure fluke!
Bet type B = Back
Bet type L = Lay
Status S = Settled
Status M = Matched
Status U = Unmatched
You can see the times in the Market Events panel the race was active, suspended and closed.
When the profit/loss for a race is available from Betfair, it appears under the ‘Profit/Loss’ column and updates
the account information and possibly the next stake value depending on the staking set.
