Bet Angel Professional v1.60 contains the following new features and updates
Total Performance Data
· Map of race course with real time tracking of runners configurable via Total Performance Data settings page.
Requires subscription to Total Performance Data
The map is configured via the Total Performance Data settings page and can be shown in a floating window or embedded into In-play Trader
The number of runners shown can be filtered by their position in the race or by their market price
The saddle cloth number of each runner is shown on the map and its colour can be customised to match the Market Overview screen, the standard US colours, or use a custom Value Based Colour scheme (based on saddle cloth number or a named Stored Value). e.g. Using a stored value you could dynamically change the colour of the runner on the map based on its speed.
The runners on the map can be used as a Selection Context for a Servant, so you could hover over a runner and start a Servant with a keystroke to place a bet on it
The chart is configured via the Total Performance Data settings page and can be shown in a floating window, embedded into In-play Trader, or positioned next to the Map
Like the Map, the colours of a runner can be customised. In a similar way to the Market Overview, a runner's chart line will be highlighted when the mouse tracks over it, and its name will be displayed.
Other configuration options are available to choose which of the race's predicted speed lines will be displayed and how they should appear.
Bet Angel API
· Activate the API on a specific port via the Bet Angel API Settings page.
· An example HTML / JavaScript test page is linked from the settings page that will show the endpoints and JSON data format used by the API, for all Bet Angel API references please see this dedicated section of the user guide documentation
· The API works in a similar way to the Betfair API, in that you POST JSON messages to an endpoint and Bet Angel will respond with a JSON message containing the requested data, a status and/or a list of errors.
· In time the capabilities of the API will be further expanded but for now it can currently do the following;
Get details of Markets currently loaded into Bet Angel (without or without selection names)
Add markets to Guardian by market id
Add markets to Guardian using a predefined Coupon
Remove all or specific market ids from Guardian
Apply a Rules file to all/specific markets in Guardian (choosing a Rules column 1-5)
Remove a Rules file from all/specific markets in Guardian (choosing a Rules column 1-5)
Get details of Automation Instances currently running (or already stopped) - either Guardian and/or Servants
Get Stored Values at any of Bet Angel/Event/Market/Selection level, choosing Shared or Instance values (or both), and limited to specific SV names if you wish
Set Stored Values at any of those levels, text or numeric values, and even allows values to be pushed into a specific automation instance (Servant or Guardian) even if the values aren't Shared.
Clear Stored Values (supports the same criteria as the Get Stored Values operation)
Ladder
· Each ladder can now display up to two Bet Information Areas - their relative position can be set using the existing Display Order page.
· These new Bet Information areas can be configured to show Matched and/or Unmatched bet information about the selection as well as font / sort order / bet alignment etc
Optimizations
· Each year resources are allocated to improving Bet Angel's internal architecture, this time targeted the main trading screen
· When using Exchange Streaming you'll now find a new option of 'Update' in the 'Refresh every' picklist, so rather than using a specific refresh rate you can now pick 'Update' and that will cause the screen to be updated as soon as new information arrives on the data stream from betfair. (NB, If you are on a less active market and no data arrives in 500ms then the market is refreshed anyway to keep charts and Servants ticking over). It will also save a few milliseconds over the 20ms rate on an active market and save some CPU load on a less active market.
· By modifying the internal storage of Bet Angel then number of History Lists has now been doubled from 10 to 20 lists per selection.
Other Changes
· Tennis Trader - new check box to 'Reverse Server in feed' for a market which allows for manual correction of first to serve errors* in the data feed from the court side.
*Please be aware that the data feed provided from the court side (which we have no control over) may be corrected at anytime during the match, if they do you will need to untick this option so that the correct sever is still shown
