Combining automation with manual

[PennyFiddler]

This has plagued me for a while now, so I thought I might as well ask incase anyone has an obvious alternative.

I have an automated system, doesn’t pay much but is worth running
But I also play IR manually, meaning cancelling bets.

The obvious problem is that I can’t really do both at the same time, because I cancel the bot’s bets, and the bot doesn’t pay enough to leave it alone.

Obviously there’s the cancel all button, that can be further divided between backs and lays (cancel all backs or all lays) using buttons

And having seen all the variations under special triggers it had me wondering if there was a way of programming in VBA a bot trigger back bet, that the manual button in Gruss can’t cancel?

Just to add…

There used to be another option, where you could have 2 bf accounts linked, but be separate.

But bf is a totally different animal to back when you could phone them up and ask them to sort it….and even then they were forever closing it and it needing re-opening.

So I’m extremely dubious that you could have a ‘bot only’ linked account now.

I just had an epiphany

Is this what ‘Profiles’ can do?

Have 2 iterations of BA open and have one profile where the spreadsheet is linked firing in bets

While on the other profile you can trade and have no effect on the other profile?

There’s isn’t much about profiles in the help section and I’ve never used it.

[PennyFiddler]

No, you can’t as far as I can see, do it using Profiles.
Would have been a good idea though.

I can’t believe this isn’t a more prominent problem.
Do people do either one or the other……or do they simply reside in putting the bot on some other account?

Hi PennyFiddler.

Would it be possible to use the Bet Manager in Gruss to cancel your manual bets only by clicking the X against those bets?

Can you not log the automated BetID's when bets are placed and then when you want to cancel have an excel button on your sheet to send a cancel bet request that loops through open bets then sends the cancel request omitting the automated bets.

Hi MollyMoo

I could obviously do that yes, but it’s impractical certainly for the way I operate anyway, the bets needs cancelling sharpish I can’t be hunting them down.

I think your suggestion is somewhat similar to what AI has given me, it is doable in a roundabout way, it just needs weighing up as to whether essentially routing all bets through excel is preferable to using the GUI I’m accustomed to.

I just thought there must have been a ready alternative, I find it odd this hasn’t been a problem many have had.
Thanks
