Version 2.3.7.0 of TheBetEngine has just been released and can be downloaded from:
http://www.thebetengine.co.uk/downloads.htm
Additions
1. Auto-updating. The bot will now update itself automatically if a new version is available. Note - upgrades that involve breaking changes will always be released manually to prevent existing systems from breaking.
2. New filter on Criteria page - Distance to specified. In addition to filtering on the odds distance to the favourite, the previous or the next ranked runner, you will now be able to specify which ranking to compare against. For example, you could always check the distance to the 3rd favourite.
3. Pressing Clear whilst viewing the betting log will display a confirmation box before any records are deleted.
4. Pressing Remove Lapsed/Void whilst viewing the betting log will display a confirmation box before any records are deleted.
5. New diagnostic - display session counts. Adds the current bet count, win count, loss count, winning run count, losing run count and session p/l to the race grid title bar. Can be activated through Settings/Diagnostics.
6. Reset Stake - now asks you whether you want to reset the session counters as well.
7. New filter on General page - Race Months. You can now decided to auto-include races for given months only. Works alongside the Race Days functionality.
8. New option on Betting page - Use BSP if unmatched. Normally when a race goes InPlay, any unmatched bets are cancelled. By ticking the Use BSP if unmatched option, any unmatched bets will be converted to BSP bets when the market goes InPlay. For races that do not go InPlay, this setting is ignored.
9. New option on Betting page - Stop after first match. In manual mode, TBE will continue to look for qualifying bets right up until the scheduled off. If you tick the Stop after first match option, TBE will stop looking for additional bets as soon as the first bet is detected and placed.
10. When betting with a virtual bank, if any losses cause the virtual bank to go below zero, then betting is automatically stopped.
11. When betting with a virtual bank, TBE now calculates the potential exposure of any given bet and only places the bet if the exposure is less than the current virtual bank value.
12. New option - Wait for Result - added under staking plan selection box. This is only activated when betting with a NON-recovery staking plan and makes TBE wait for the outcome of the current bet before allowing any further bets to be placed.
13. New action on Limits - SWITCH. When the limits are reached, the bot will automatically switch to TEST mode.
Fixes
1. Added missing MarketType header to the "Export to CSV" file.
2. Added missing Maiden Chase race type to the horse racing filters.
3. South African horse races are now handled correctly and display their P/L in TEST mode.
Changes
1. Flags page has been renamed Filters.
Breaking Changes (Changes that MAY require alterations to existing systems)
1. Within X filter has been replaced by a Rank filter. Previously on manual betting systems, you could specify that a selection was within the top X ranked runners, but with the new Rank filter you can specify exactly what ranks are allowable. For example, 3 would mean 3rd fav; 1-3 would mean within the top 3 favs; 1,2,4 would mean 1st, 2nd or 4th fav. Leave blank if you do not wish the feature to be used. Note - this affects manual systems only.
Existing users must download TheBetEngine (excluding database) as there is no upgrade file available this time.
The manual is currently being updated and will be posted to the web site in the next few days.
