Hello,
1/ Currently, you can only use letters and numbers when naming your sources. For better readability, consider using a mix of lowercase and uppercase letters (e.g., "MyValuePicks" instead of "myvaluepicks").
2/ We cannot allow source deletion to ensure complete transparency. Disallowing deletion prevents deceptive practices where someone could create many sources, keep only the best-performing ones, and delete the rest. However, you can deactivate a source; it will remain visible, but you can easily filter out inactive sources.
3/The Pickstatus API call currently provides information on pick processing and order execution results. Soon, a "Picks and Orders" page will be available at smartbet.io/pagepicksandorders/picksandorders , listing all generated orders and their statuses (won, lost, etc.). This functionality will also be added to the API.
4/ The bot will always search for the exact market you quote in the pick, checking both main and alternative markets. If the specified market is unavailable, it will report "MARKET NOT FOUND." If the odds have changed, the bot will only place the bet if the offered odds are better than the minimum specified by the follower - relative to the pick odds. If the odds taken are better than the pick odds, the pick will be recorded with the higher odds. For more details on this process, please see our pick verification model: smartbet.io/forums/topic/40/how-does-smartbet-io-s-pick-verification-work
5/ A 100 GBP RELATIVE RISKED stake for a 4-unit pick results in a 400 GBP bet. Implementing a bankroll-based staking system would mean you'd need to constantly update your bankroll information, so, for simplicity, it would be easier to adjust your staking directly. Currently, unit staking is limited to round numbers from 1 to 10, as trying to implement bankroll-based staking by changing units staked would introduce many challenges.
