    Understood for the sources and bet execution rules, both make sense.

    Happy to hear about the new bet status functionality in the pipeline. Please do let us know when that's released as it'll be very useful.

    Thanks as always for the prompt and well-explained reply.

    Good morning,

    I was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction with a few outstanding questions. First off, please forgive me if any of the following is outright cretinous; I did try rummaging through the FAQs, but to no avail.

    1. How to create a source name with hyphens to improve legibility?

    2. How to delete a source? (I couldn't spot a delete function on the "My Sources" page; guessing this might be a support task?)

    3. Does pickstatus return info about the result of a pick (won/lost/push/void/etc.)? If not, is there any other method to query this in the API?

    4. In terms of execution, I'm trying to understand what logic the system applies in the event of line movements. For example, say the following pick is submitted:

        "sport": "BASKETBALL",
        "event": "PHOENIX SUNS - CLEVELAND WARRIORS",
        "bet": "PHOENIX SUNS +2 [LIVE]",
        "odds": "1.86"
        etc,

    ...and the line shifts to +3 @ 1.86 pre-execution, will the system:

    a) Place the bet at +2, but at the improved odds now available (similar to an alternative point spread)?
    b) Automatically take the +3? (If so, how is this reported by pickstatus?)
    c) Something else?

    5. Lastly, to clarify my understanding of stake settings: if a pick is submitted where stake = 4, and the bot is configured as below:

    Staking
    [Stake: 100 GBP | Flat/Relative: Relative | Risked/ToWin: Risked]

    ...am I right in assuming the bot will place a bet of £400? If that is the case, supposing we have a betting strategy that uses proportional stakes, how do we go about increasing or decreasing stakes based on our current bankroll? Manually changing the bot parameters is obviously one approach, but seeing as the figure could change daily, is there a way to do this programmatically? Alternatively, can stake units be floating-point numbers (e.g. stake = 4.1)? That would work too.

    Apologies in advance for the substantial message - bit of a cluster bomb to kill all birds with one stone...

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Cheers.

    Wonderful news, you already have it covered multiple ways. No need for any additional mappings client-side then... even better.

     

    Thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated.

    It is recommended that you always use the exact syntax outlined in Market Support

    That said, our backend will try to extract the required information even in cases with syntax errors or variations, so VALENCIA v BARCELONA or VALENCIA vs BARCELONA would also work.

    Surrounding spaces should always be used.

     

    First off, this being my first post, just wanted to say great work on a fantastic site. Have only recently discovered it, but already a big fan of what you've done here.

    I have a quick question regarding the exactitude of team names in a post request. You mention the backend will try to extract the required info if there are variations; how much leeway is there in the use of names?

    For example, if we take the Milwaukee Bucks vs LA Clippers in the NBA, bet365's website shows the event as MIL Bucks @ LA Clippers.

    Would any of the following POST requests be successful?

    # using the full name

    "sport": "BASKETBALL",
    "event": "MILWAUKEE BUCKS - LA CLIPPERS",
    "bet": "MILWAUKEE BUCKS",

    # using the official abbreviation

    "sport": "BASKETBALL",
    "event": "MIL - LAC",
    "bet": "MIL",

    Just for my understanding and future reference with other sports. No big deal if they have to be identical to bet365, simply need to create mappings for each league.

    Cheers.
