Release 2.4.4.6
Posted: Sun May 27, 2012 9:58 pm
Version 2.4.4.6 of TheBetEngine has just been released.
To update your existing version, you should follow these simple instructions:
1. Close down the existing copy of TheBetEngine (if it is running).
2. Download the new release from http://www.betdynamics.com/downloads/Th ... .4.4.6.exe
3. Double-click on the newly downloaded file to start the installation (you can safely install this version on top of the existing version)
If the installation throws any kind of error, then reboot your machine and attempt the installation once more.
Additions
1. New setting (Settings/General) - Don't reactivate ACTIVE tabs. By default, TBE will restart any automatic tabs that were active when the program was closed down. To prevent ANY tabs from restarting automatically, you can tick this option.
2. New ranking option (Ranking tab) - Use BSP. When ticked, TBE will rank the runners in the race by their projected BSP (Note - this is Betfair's calculation of the likely BSP; the actual BSP is not set until AFTER the race has started)
3. New odds checking option (Criteria tab) - BSP for checks. When ticked, TBE will use the projected BSP odds when checking against the min/max odds values.
4. New option (Criteria tab) - Omit odds check. When ticked, the min/max odds will not be checked (this can be used in conjunction with the new multi-range odds checking plugin, where more than one odds range needs to be checked)
5. New Processing Plugin - MultiRange. Use this plugin if you want to check if the current best Betfair odds fall within a set of ranges (not just a single range as specified on the Criteria tab)
6. New Post-Processing Plugin - MaxCombinedOdds. You can check whether the combined odds of your selections are less than or equal to a specified value.
7. Sorting of the runners grid - you can now sort by either Name (actually this sorts by original Betfair order) or FC odds by clicking on the column header.
8. You can now place lay bets at BSP as long as a liability is set for the bet.
9. A much faster results service for Greyhound races has been added. To activate it, you need to go to Settings/General and tick the "Enable fast dog results" check box.
10. Diagnostic data (horse info, auto-saved selections and diagnostic logs) are now automatically deleted after 5 days. You can adjust the no. of days to retain these files via Settings/Diagnostics. Set the value to zero to prevent ANY automatic deletion. Note - the diagnostic files can be quite large so auto-clearing them after a set number of days is preferred.
Fixes
1. Export CSV and Export (Staking Machine) now take account of the Live/Test bet checkboxes - so you can choose to export live, test, or both live and test bets to the log. [Previously ALL bets were exported]
2. The Betfair Results Service sometimes throws out some spurious results (like "Under 6.5 goals" in a horse race). TBE now checks the results received against the actual runners in the race and rejects any response that contains false entries. This should help cut down the reporting of false results on Place markets.
3. The Pro stake is no longer reset to the default when you click on Configure and then change nothing in the staking options.
4. Fix implemented for mismatched markets (when Betfair returned a different number of runners between the win and place markets!)
The manual has not yet been updated - it is next on the list!
