Use the practice mode
Posted in Tutorials by Stefan Belopotocan Tags: strategy
I want to start with practice mode to look at this for a couple of days in the beginning. But when I tried to do it with Bfexplorer for Bettors – “My Results” was empty in spite of the application opened and closed positions. I was rather upset. It’s hard to be happy when you understand that you understand nothing!
If you want to master your trading skills or test betting or trading strategies without risking your money you should use the practice mode.
In the practice mode the bet placing is just simulated so you should be aware of this fact if you want to be as close as possible to the reality you need to take what is offered. The results of such betting is evaluated using the betfair results feed: http://rss.betfair.com/
The bet settling can be done only for markets for which betfair offers the result feed. In the settings dialog you need to enable my results for my betting, otherwise the bet settling is not evaluated in the practice mode so no bet results are listed in the My Results window.
