Hi,

If in my trigger file I have multiple different triggers that place different back bets, how could I record the matched time for each one and store it in a variable.

If I was to use just the new bm_backmtime that would overwrite a timer for each of those back bets that is recording how long has passed since each back bet was placed?

Thanks

hi
sorry but you would have to add a new trigger for each bet placing trigger.
so for every bet placing trigger you would have to
create a new trigger
set user variable      t1mt (or whatever you want to call the variable)     bm_backmtime      Individually for each market .
first matching selection
once per market
conditions
Trigger (the name of your bet placing trigger) number of runs per selection is greater than 0
and selections back matched is greater than 0

the t1mt would increase per new trigger so the next would be t2mt and so on.

if you cannot add these then please request a trigger alteration.

thanks for this mcbee..

what would happen if another back bet got matched in the time period between

t1mt bet being placed and t1mt bet being matched

Wouldn't bm_backmtime get overwritten with a time from a different bet

selections back matched is greater than 0  -this would be greater than 0 as well...

hi
the new recording trigger will only take the bm_backmtime of the selection that was used by the bet placing trigger for that new trigger.
each recording time will be different , even if 2 bets are matched at the same time , the recorded time will be .000001 or more difference.
that is IF only one selection per bet placing trigger is used.

interesting...thank you

and lastly what would happen if you didn't have a separate trigger, and just recorded bm_backmtime within the trigger that places the back bet?

hi
it would not work because the trigger has placed the bet and a split second the bm_backmtime would record the last bet matched (before the new bet was placed because it takes time for the bet to be matched.
