Bet Angel Professional v1.57 contains the following new features and updates
Automation
'Store a value as 'text' has been added to the Stored Values tab.
Values can be entered text, formatted from existing numeric Stored Values, or sourced from various known text about the market/event/selection (e.g. jockey name). Any combination of up to 3 of these can be concatenated into one value and prefix/suffix text can also be added.
Various formatting, rounding, extraction, truncation options are available.
A Text SV can be tagged with a numeric value that, when present, will be used by the One-click screen when sorting the column. It will also be used to control the display colour when used in conjunction with Value Based Colouring.
The Automation Editor now supports right-click copy & paste for Stored Values and Conditions
The Text Comparison condition has been enhanced to allow comparison against a Selection Name and Text held in a Stored Value, 'Starts With' and 'Exact Match' options have also been added
The Fill or Kill Bet Time condition has been enhanced to allow the time parameter to be specified as a Stored Value
'The Set Stored Values using a file' now supports the setting of a Text SV (put the value in quotes to denote that the value is text rather than a number)
Also Market Id & Selection Id can be used instead of Market Name and Selection Name in the file. See example CSV in the templates folder
Set Stored Value and Stored Value condition has new options for getting 'Matched Bet information of a selection' and 'Matched Bet information of the market':
- 'The average price' of all your matched bets / all your matched Back bets / all your matched Lay bets
- 'The total amount' of all your matched bets / all your matched Back bets / all your matched Lay bets
- 'The total liability (for the layer)' of all your matched bets / all your matched Back bets / all your matched Lay bets
The Alert rule type has new Parameters to allow the contents of a Stored Value (either numeric or text) to be displayed as an Alert in the log/in a message/in Guardian/on a Watch List
New Rule Types to 'Place a Back SP Bet' and 'Place a Lay SP Bet' with support for price limits on the Parameters page. Note: SP bets are considered by betfair to be matched as soon as they are placed and cannot be cancelled, so you should be familiar with their behaviour on the web site before using them.
Value Based Colouring
Custom Columns and Ladder Additional Info items now allow both text and background colours to be specified (previously just one colour was allowed) and both colours have the option to select a Value Based Colour profile.
A few example colour profiles have been provided, but the concept is that you define your own named profile with the editor provided.
Up to ten different colours can be assigned per profile with different value thresholds.
Colour gradients are also supported so you could gradually intensify the colour as the price changes.
e.g. Outsiders could be grey, and then runners could be coloured from yellow through orange and red as they become stronger favourites.
As you can define your own thresholds, you can assign values appropriate to your own Stored Value based weightings or percentages
Excel
Added support for the new Text Stored Values
when using the command to assign a value just provide the value in quotes and it'll store the value as text rather than a number
New commands to place betfair SP bets: BACK_SP / LAY_SP / BACK_SP_LIMIT / LAY_SP_LIMIT
Note: the odds cell is only applicable to the _LIMIT commands and is used to specify the minimum/maximum price for Back/Lay respectively
Watch List
Watch Lists now support custom columns for information display configured via Coupon editor and offer similar options to the custom columns in Guardian
Each of the two Header cells in a column, and the block of Selection cells, can be defined separately and used to display different information
The order and width of the columns is configurable and can be placed on either side of the in-built Alerts column.
When using multiple panels in the coupon, the choice of which of the defined custom columns to display can be made on a panel by panel basis.
In-play Trader
New option to Reverse the x-Axis scale and also support reverse mouse clicks e.g. 'Left-click Lay, Right-click Back'
New sort options to Sort by Stall Draw & Sort by Saddle Cloth Number
