Automation

Find the automation feature

You need to visit Bet Angel's Guardian tool to enable all the full automation features in Bet Angel. This video shows you how to locate the automation tab in Guardian.

Creating an auto trading rule

Bet Angel's Guardian tool will allow complex automation. This video shows you how to create an automated trading or betting rule.

Auto trading with Bet Angel

Automatic trading in the background will free up your time to do something else. This video shows you how to trade automatically using Bet Angel and the automation feature in Guardian.

Automatically lay the draw

The lay the draw strategy is a popular method of trading on football. This video shows an example of this type of trade and how you can automate with Bet Angel. In this example we green out after a goal has been scored which has moved our position into profit. Please bear in mind that in order to profit from this strategy you need to select an appropiate match. It is not net positive on it's own.

Combining automation, Excel & normal usage

This video shows you how to combine several automation options in Bet Angel. You can carry on trading your main market in the main Bet Angel interface while Bet Angel automates activity in the background, but you can also use the Excel spreadsheet link simultaneously as well!

Export your current P&L to a spreadsheet

Keeping track of performance is key to any success. This video shows you how to export youur P&L to a spreadsheet. If you are using practice mode as a way of testing new strategies then keeping records like this will allow you to set up Bet Angel at the start of the day and return later to see how your strategy performed and at no risk to your money!

Backing to a target price / Triggered betting

In this video we set up a simple rule to back a particular runner if his price exceeds a target price that we think is value. Automation is ideal for setting up triggered bets like this.

Multiple rules in multiple, different, markets

Using the Guardian automation tool you can apply different automation rules to different markets. In this example we follow on from an automated rule for horse racing, to create a rule on a football match that will execute in a couple of days time.

Using automation to auto set SP bets

As a safety precaution we create a rule that automatically sets all bets to 'Take SP' near the start of a race. You may want to do this so that you don't accidentally take a bet inplay at full liability.

Backing the draw using automation

In this video we give an example of a rules file on a football / soccer match. This script backs the draw 5 minutes before the off and then hedges all positions five minutes into the match. This isn't designed as a strategy but more a demonstration of the automation function.
