Bet Results Odds Logging



The default for this setting is ON. For all winning bets, the odds recorded are adjusted based on the actual profit obtained. This allows TBM to accurately record a Dead Heat and Rule 4's. It also allows TBM to fetch the correct odds when placing bets at BSP. Because the correct odds are used, the Record of Today's Bets and Historical Bet Ledger Data will more or less match your Betfair Account Statement.


Note - Global Targets are calculated from the Record of Today's Bets and therefore IF you are relying on a Global Target this should ALWAYS be switched ON.


If you switch this feature OFF then the original odds that were used during bet placement are kept. This can be useful when using staking plans such as Stop At a Winner that rely on the odds to calculate the stake. In these staking plans, if for instance the odds are halved following a dead heat then the calculated stake in the Staking Plan itself will increase in order to hit the target. By retaining the original odds the staking plan carries on as if there was no change in odds. In this instance the bet entry in the Record of Today's Bets will contain the original (and incorrect) odds and therefore profit based on the original (and incorrect) odds.


When this feature is switched OFF any BSP bets placed will use the odds at the time of bet placement instead of the actual odds matched.


Default Bet Results Timer & Fast Results


If you don't want to wait for Betfair/Betdaq to settle the market then you can speed things up by using a Bet Result Timer or Fast Results.


Default Bet Result Timer - Will update a placed bet with 'Assume Won' or 'Assume Loss' after x amount of seconds. This allows TBM to move on to the next bet as no bets are placed when there is an outstanding result. This feature comes with a big health warning as it should only be used with Staking Plans that are not consequential.


Fast Results - Relies on Fast Results provided by TBM server. UK and IRE Horse Racing ONLY at this time.


Although you can use both options at the same time, you would normally only use one or the other. In the screenshots below I am using the Default Bet Result Timer. I have set it assume a result 1 second after being placed and to update with an 'Assume Loss' Result. Fast Results is switched off for clarity.




Generally the Bet Result Timer is safe to use for Level, Percentage (re-calculated daily) and Fixed Staking Plan. With these staking plans it doesn't matter if you change a previous result. Any future stakes will remain the same.


One scenario the above settings may be useful is if you have 2 or 3 selections in a single race and you are backing to Level Stakes. If you wanted to treat each selection to be treated individually as per your Market Placement Settings you would need to result the previous bet instantly so that TBM would go through each selection rather than wait the previous result.


In the screenshots below I am using Fast Results. The Default Bet Result Timer is switched OFF and Fast Results is ticked.



In order to use Fast Results you will need to enable it for the profile in TBM Global Settings.


There are risks (although minimal they still exist) when using Fast Results hence the warning and explanation on TBM Global Settings and on this screen.



Update Assumed Won/Loss Bet Results ?



This would normally be ticked. This will update any bets that are shown Assume Won or Assume Loss when Betfair/Betdaq settle the market officially.
