Vuol dire che non hai scaricato il file d'installazione per intero. Deve essere 3 806 Kbyte (o 3 678 Kbyte per la versione italiana).

Hi, I have a couple of questions about this new release, firstly is it just me or will this not install on XP? My vista machines have accepted the auto update fine but my XP machine comes back with the following error - (I have tried it four times now)

NSIS  Error

Installer Integrity check has failed. Common causes include incomplete download and damaged media. Contact the installers author to obtain a new copy.

More information at: http://nsis.sf.net/NSIS_Error


Secondly I was informed that this fix would also address the existing problem in the protecting triggers area. Whilst it now accepts the certificate number and allows the other user to use the trigger it does not hide the trigger contents.

Will you also be able to back last winning jockey in his/her next race?

E.g. if Eaves won the race then back his next ride that day?

That's an excellent idea, and is exactly why I'm asking everyone's advice here! Will make sure this is possible.

Hi Oxa
I have a look around vers 6.1; thanks for all your hard work.

A couple of questions:
I am struggling to find how to back a jockey's next ride if his previous ride was successful (or: lay a jockey’s next ride..).

Please can you offer some help?

Secondly, I see the Trainer’s Name when you click on the Silks information but…cannot find this in the trigger conditions section?

Thanks for your help.

As I said above this error message means that you have not downloaded the setup file completely. Check its size - should be 3 806 Kbyte for a full MF Pro version.

Secondly I was informed that this fix would also address the existing problem in the protecting triggers area. Whilst it now accepts the certificate number and allows the other user to use the trigger it does not hide the trigger contents.

Mmm, mine does hide them, so probably I'm missing something. How exactly did you protect the triggers?

We've been reported the following problems with the update, which we are going to fix in the next hour:

- Market's Name contains .... - does not work at the moment
- Silks are not displayed for AUS races

Thanks Oxa. I been here for 2 hours at 3am trying to work out why Market name contains "GB" doesn't work.

See you tomorrow

Can you confirm that this fix has yet to be sorted?

This is the second afternoon that "markets name" does not work, so sadly I have had to revert back to previous version until this has been sorted.

Shame, because this is a very exciting development.

We've had some nightmarish problems with Australian silks, hence the delay of the update.

I've just uploaded build 6.1.0.1, hopefully it'll fix all reported problems.

Please let me know if it hasn't though. But don't be too quick to report a bug - make sure it IS a bug and not something that is missing in the settings for instance (most common case after updates).

Oxa / Welldone,

Thanks - brilliant work - so much more to work with now - how can we not make a profit ?     And you've been very responsive to all our requests.

Can I ask, in the manual I see there are two bits of 'Silk' info:

silk_numerator integer           The forecast price numerator.
silk_denominator integer        The forecast price denominator. 

I cannot get on BF just now to look, but where do these forecasts come from - I did not see them last time I looked there.

silk_numerator integer           The forecast price numerator.
silk_denominator integer        The forecast price denominator. 

I cannot get on BF just now to look, but where do these forecasts come from - I did not see them last time I looked there.

To be honest I don't have much information either. These figures together with their brief (brief indeed) descriptions come from BF's manual.
Ehh, let me try and find some more details about this, as cursory googling did not bring anything specific.

Hi Oxa

Winning Jockey - lay in next race

If you have a moment please could you help with how to detect in a trigger condition if a jockey wins his/her previous race with a view to backing/laying their next ride? Many thanks.

Unfortunately I don't think this is possible at the moment. BetFair do not provide information about jockeys or their history of winnings. I thought it would be feasible to get somehow, but right now it isn't.

The only thing I can do is add some code to remember winnings horses and their jockeys within a trading session (i.e. before you closed the program) and then bet on corresponding jockeys in the same day. But firstly I'm not sure there will be a lot of such situations, and secondly it'll take me some time to do that.
