  • Final Score covered (Green) but API said huge loss when game finished

    Hi all,

    I am looking for some advice/ assistance.

    Yesterday evening I had the 1-1 scoreline covered for £50 profit ( green ) in training mode on the Inverness v Kilmarnock match. At 89 minutes the score was 1-0 and was facing a loss of around £125, if the score had remained like this my total liability/ loss would have been £146.

    The 90th minute arrives and the score goes 1-1, after a minute the API offers me £29 to green up. As i had the 1-1 covered i felt it not necessary to make a move and left the trade open, with the game nearly over.

    The match finishes, the suspended sign comes up and shows a loss of £136, how did this happen ?

    Surely I should have made £50 profit ? or am i missing something.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    All the best

    The trading mode doesn't know what the result of the game/race/etc is so will only record any greened up profits or losses.

      Or in geek speak, for win markets, the amount deducted from { added to } your training bank is the equivalent of to worst liability you have on any selection.

        Thanks Chaps

        So basically,

        When in live trading, the same occurs and i have liabilities on some scores and some scores green and one of my grens is the winning score i shall profit from the green attached to that winning score and NOT be handed the largest liability for being a lucky bugger ?

        The same situation in training mode, use a pen and paper to see what i would have won ( everyone likes a bit of bully ) ??

        is this correct folks ?

          correct. training mode is not good for testing trading/strategies, its purpose is to become familiar with program itself

            You can always put in hedge bets at 1.01 or 1000 to simulate punting.

              Gosh, that's a worry if it's no good for practicing strategies on.

              Surely, the figures/ markets must move in the same way as betfair live, hence providing you with the same result win, loss or break even ( even though the API only dishes out your worst liability for the result ) ??

              Am concerned now lol

                I would recommend keeping detailed results in a spreadsheet regardless of the software as this will help you review and develop your strategy.

                  AGT is predominantly trading software. If you just want to straight bet, you can do that on the Betfair web site.

                  Whilst we do our best to emulate the real markets with TM, it is impossible to get it spot on due to the fact markets always react to money placed, and in TM, no money actually gets placed.

                  Also we don't have any easy or accurate way to "settle" the markets, hence why it is the way it is.

                  If you want to test strategies, best to do it with small real bets.
