I have a query....

I have been trialling MFP for a while in trial mode and real account mode

and I am finding some anomalies, I have attached a screenshot showing the 2.10 Kelso

race from yesterday, 29th april where you will see that in test mode it paid out as a winner

when in actual fact the winner “Things Change” actually came 4th..

I am finding this a lot and it is disturbing to think if the software reacts in this way in trial
no risk mode what would happen in real time money trading.


I have also had experiences with greening up, when I have had a trade that was going against me,
and greened up for a small loss it actually ONCE ended up in profit and ONCE ended up equal, when BOTH should have showed me a loss.


Please look at the enclosed screenshot and see if you can explain what has happened.

The bet was a win only market with no greenup.

hi
the main reason for this happening is the test mode settings.
the bot is settling the market without betfairs result.

open settings at the top of the bot screen.
select  Test Mode
Tick  Download results from betfair wherever possible and settle markets automatically.
DO NOT TICK any other box

hi
due to other people leaving unwanted advertising, there is a 5 post min before you can add a screenshot etc.
so just complete anther 4 posts and you will be able to add your screenshot.
when you do, can you include a screenshot of your test mode settings.

thank you

Hi
Just wondering if you are referring to the correct market.
1850 Taun Match Bets winner was Ted Spread
1850 Taun winner was Cry Of Freedom
see attached

you might need to filter out the Match Bets markets if this is the case
