What's new in FairBot?
What's new in FairBot 4.3 vs 4.2?
- Added the Betfair Stream API support. The new Stream API provides low latency access to the Betfair Exchange market data. Instead of requesting market data from Betfair on a regular basis in the API-NG mode, in the Stream API mode Betfair pushes market changes directly to FairBot. This technique allows the user to get more market updates per second (up to 50) than via the traditional API-NG mode. You can choose which API mode you require (API-NG or Stream API) in the Options window, on the Connection page.
- Football Live Scores. Now FairBot shows live scores for popular football matches. Please note that the information is provided "as is" and may be delayed or inaccurate.
- Added an ability to show betting error messages directly in the market view. Now a user doesn't have to click the OK button in order to close a message box to continue betting. This may save time when speed is critical.

- Automation. Added the new "Market Profit/Loss" condition. It can be useful to stop trading on a market when a certain profit/loss is reached.

- Added an ability to hide the NET stake buttons in the ladder interface to free some room for other stake buttons.
- Added an ability to restrict time (period of time) when a market (added to the Market Watch List) is updated. This allows you to effectively utilize the limited number of data requests (20) per second to Betfair and refresh your markets exactly when you need this instead of updating all markets at the same time. This ability is very useful in conjunction with the Advanced Automation feature especially if there is a lot of markets in the Market Watch List. See the new options "Start/Stop refreshing a market" in the Market Watch List toolbar.

For example, if the current match score is 1-0 then the 0-0, 0-1, 0-2, etc scores are impossible and are not involved in the "Green Up All" button figure calculations. See the Options window, Greening Up tab for the new settings.
