MarkV, I made the file as shown, however some games were not selected and others that were not in the list were loaded. Is there any other way to load only the games that were pre-defined with acertivity?

Hi
I just tested this again and it's working fine, perhaps check a few things:
  • the spelling of selection names in the text file must be exactly as on Betfair
  • some selection names could be part of other selection names, for example, "Dinamo" will return "Dinamo Brest", "Dinamo St Petersburg" etc.
  • some markets will appear in the Betfair list but not in the search results because the start time is outside your settings, like "search for up to 1 day ahead"

the other way to do it would be to load all markets and use a trigger to delete markets you do not need:
markets name is not in file
or you could use a combination of a search template and a delete trigger

can you send me an example of this trigger to delete games that are not on the list?

some selection names could be part of other selection names, for example, "Dinamo" will return "Dinamo Brest", "Dinamo St Petersburg" etc. in this case if I put the full name of the team he will only search for what I want?

Hi
yes, for delete trigger please see attached screenshot

full team names, again yes, but "Dinamo St Petersburg" will also return "Dinamo St Petersburg U21"

it is better to use the full names of the game: "X v Y" like in the attached screenshot
