  • Hi,

    I tried to make a trigger for horse races:
    first place a lay bet
      and after the market is settled
    in next race place a back bet
      and after the market is settled
    in next race place a lay bet
    and so on...

    Any help is appreciated,
    Thank you

  • hi
    in your backing trigger add these conditions
    and selections trigger expression new_statement is equal to 1
    and selections trigger expression hist_1_laya is greater than 0

    in your laying trigger add these conditions
    and selections trigger expression new_statement is equal to 1
    and selections trigger expression hist_1_backa is greater than 0

    if you need more help, then say what favourite/selection that you want to bet on and i will do a trigger.

  • Hi,

    With these conditions, the triggers place a lay and back bets at the same time. When I placed a lay bet manually, it works alternate how I want. I modified "simple_staking_plan_lay.mft" only for horse races, favorites, in-play, once per market, with my condition: selections Lay Price is between 1.70 and 2.00 and your conditions in the same block, for lay and back triggers.

    Thank you very much,

  • Hi

    Could you please write me a slightly different version.

    Lay the favourite until a favourite wins, then stop laying and back the third favourite until it wins, then lay the favourite again and so on.

    many thanks

    the maximum lay price
    the maximum back price

  • Hi,

    I am trying to amend this trigger. I need it to

    1. lay the fav until one wins. Then
    2.  back the third fav until one wins. Then
    3. revert to laying the fav ad infinitum.

    So, it only changes once to backing the third fav until one wins.

    Any help out there would be appreciated

  • Hi,

    Thanks McBee for your help.

    The trigger works just fine. However, I need it to work individually for each separate race meeting. I realise this may be complicated. I am trying to amend it, but with no success. Any suggestions/alterations you can provide?

  • hi
    sorry due to a slight bout of the runs/illness, i have been a bit behind with the replies.
    i will try and alter the triggers to bet per meeting, using the market parent id.

  • hi
    i am sorry but this is not possible as the trigger depend on the last history profit and loss.
    so when using the individual meetings the triggers cannot be set to change from first fav to third due to the last bet been placed in a different meeting.
    the method needs changing so that each meeting has its own record of wins and losses, this can be done with variables, but i will have to work on other triggers first.
