So Contrarian, fair play for owning up and glad it didn't dent you too much. But how did the bot place the bets and on what side?

Coach,

It's not that much damage really. Standard deviation of my returns on a (Champ League) night like this are probably about 10k anyway. On the La Liga match on Monday, we came perilously close to losing about 100k.

When you run bots, you have to accept that you're almost certain to lose a bit through mistakes. But if you have a really solid strategy, then those mistakes just become insignificant. I do (normally) include double/triple checks within my bots to ensure that nothing crazy can happen (like getting score wrong).

For those that didn't see it the matched has :
1.06 £3   £50
1.07      £50
..

..
1.91      £100
1.92      £100
1.93      £98
1.94      £50
1.95      £50
1.96      £71
1.97      £100
1.98      £22

Given it's 50's matched I'm guessing that's a UK customer.

damn, was kinda hoping that over 8.5 came in just for the epic jamminess it would involve Laugh

I looked at the money available at 1.01 earlier and I thought it would be just luck if the mistake landed so left it.

Was secretly hoping that Bayern had a few quick goals, so Contrarian could look at hitting some sort of decent result.
