Strategies
Why is my strategy not sending alerts for the desired matches?

There are several reasons you might not be receiving alerts—most often, this is due to a misconfiguration. Please follow the steps below to pinpoint the issue.

1. Check Your Strategy History

Are new picked matches being added to your strategy history?

If YES:

Your strategy is functioning correctly, but the alert delivery might be misconfigured. Please verify:

  • Your strategy has alerts enabled (it hasn’t been muted).
  • Alerts are enabled in your account Settings.
  • Your Telegram account is properly connected here.
  • You haven’t blocked, muted, or removed our Bot in Telegram.
If NO:

Your strategy might not be set up as intended. Please check:

  • Your strategy is enabled.
  • Your league filter is correctly configured to include the desired leagues.
  • Your strategy rules aren’t too specific—if they are, very few matches might meet the criteria. For example, requiring an exact odds value of 1.65 at exactly 45' might skip matches that are slightly off. Consider setting a range of acceptable values instead.

If the problem persists, please contact us directly and provide the name or link of the strategy you're experiencing issues with, so we can help review it for any possible problems.

Is there a backtesting feature for my strategy?

For the most accurate analysis, we recommend setting up your strategy on our platform to run live over a period of time. This may take a bit longer, but it ensures that you're working with authentic data.

While other platforms boast backtesting with instant eye-catching figures, these numbers can overlook the market’s true nuances and may even be misleading. We’re exploring a backtesting solution that uses second-by-second, real-data analysis, but until we’re sure it meets our high standards, we’ll stick with authentic, live data.

Why have my strategies disappeared?

We never delete strategies or other data from active accounts or without prior notice.

It's possible you've signed into a different InPlayGuru account associated with another one of your email addresses.

How to include several possible score lines in the same strategy?

To effectively include several possible score lines in your strategy, focus on defining the acceptable range of goals for each team. This approach allows you to cover multiple outcomes with a single set of criteria.

Consider an example where you're interested in matches with any of these scores: 1-0, 0-1, 2-0, 0-2, 3-0, or 0-3. This implies looking for games where:

  • One team does not score at all (0 goals).
  • Their opponent scores a minimum of 1 goal and a maximum of 3 goals.

Therefore, your strategy rule configuration should be set as follows, with three separate rules:

  • Goals scored by either team = 0
  • Goals scored by either team's opponent ≥ 1
  • Goals scored by either team's opponent ≤ 3
This approach can be used for other stats as well, such as corners or shots, ensuring that all combinations falling within your desired range are included in your strategy.

Can I set up automations via BF Bot Manager?

At the moment, integrating with BF Bot Manager is not a feature we offer. However, we understand the immense value this could bring. Our team is actively exploring this possibility, aiming to integrate such functionality in an upcoming update.

In-Play Scanner
What's the source of your data and odds?

Our data is sourced from one of the major football data providers and is updated in near real-time. The entire process, from field action to alert notification, is exceptionally fast, typically taking under 10 seconds. The odds shown on our website for reference are also closely aligned with those shown by major bookmakers.

Why are some or all matches/leagues missing from the scanner?

The two main factors which could cause certain (or ALL) matches to be absent are:

  • You have set a League Filter selection which is inadvertently excluding those matches. Please check your global league filter selection.
  • You have set Column Quick Filters in the in-play scanner which are filtering those matches out of view. Review or reset your applied scanner filters.

If you've reviewed the cases above and the problem persists, please contact us.

Why do your stats differ from other platforms I checked?

The reason websites report differing numbers for some stats lies in the subjective nature of their analysis, as criteria vary among sources. For instance, opinions differ on whether a shot hitting the post should be considered on or off target, leading to inconsistencies when comparing data from other websites.

Additional factors include some temporal delays or discrepancies, network delays, and occasionally human or machine mistakes when capturing the data from the field, although these are very rare.

To maintain consistency in data analysis, it is advisable to choose one data provider and stick with their metrics.

Why is momentum data unavailable for some matches?

Momentum data may be unavailable for certain matches, particularly in smaller leagues, due to limited coverage that does not include possession data. Our momentum index calculation relies on this data, making it impossible to provide for these matches.

Can there be errors in the live football statistics?

We source live football stats from a trusted third-party data provider, known for their reliability and accuracy in the sports data industry. However, like any system dependent on real-time data, there are occasions when discrepancies or minor errors might occur. This is due to the inherent complexities of live data collection and processing.

Can I report errors in the statistics?

While we understand the importance of accurate data, we rely entirely on the information provided by our third-party data provider. Due to this, reporting discrepancies in the live statistics is not actionable on our end.
