  • Hi,
    I'd like to make a formula to place in the trigger which will place a back bet
    using the lay price of the last matched bet and reducing the price by say 20%.
    example.
    lay price 1.60  lay bet  5.00  matched
    lay price * .80 = 1.28
    back price 1.28 back bet  5.00
    I tried 
    back price  bm_layp*.80  bet amount  5.00
    But it doesn't work.
    Can you shine some light on this por favor
    Merci

  • hi
    the trigger should be
    back
    bm_layp*.80
    5
    conditions as per your system plus
    and selections lay matched is greater than 0

    without the above condition, the trigger will try to place a bet with a bet amount not known, so no bet will be placed.

  • Hi mcbee,

    Not sure why I get a higher back price than the last lay price by using a .85 multiplier
    my settings are.

    back price bm_layp*.85

    actual bets

    lay     1.57   5.00
    back  1.78   5.00

    I expected using this formula would produce the following:

    lay     1.57   5.00
    back   1.33  5.00  (1.57*.85)
    Please tell me where I am going wrong
    Many thanks

  • 1.78 was probably the best available price when it placed the back bet...

  • oops, I had forgotten to place a max price required in the conditions.
    Thanks D
