How does the time interval filter work?
The time interval is the period across which the software scans for market drops to alert you about. For example, if you set it to three minutes then every time there is an odds change on Pinnacle the software will compare the new odds to the odds from three minutes ago to see if the change has created a drop that matches your other filters.
Recommended time interval
We recommend setting your time interval to three minutes if you are new. Other time intervals work well but three minutes has been proven over many thousands of alerts to yield consistent value bets.
Catching sudden or systemic drops
Do you want to catch drops that occur over a short period, a long period or somewhere in between? That is the question you need to ask yourself when setting the time interval filter.
Generally speaking, we are trying to place a bet on a slow-moving bookmaker which hasn’t reacted to a new piece of information that has entered the market (i.e. a key player is left off the team sheet). A new piece of information can cause a sharp drop that creates great value opportunities for us so setting your time interval to just a couple of minutes is a great way to catch these drops.
If you want to be alerted about more consistent drops then increase your time interval. Long-drawn-out drops can also create value opportunities if a soft bookmaker has poor quality automation or traders who are consistently behind the market.
