I am going crazy. ???
I tried almost everything and I did not managed to do the following:

- remember back price from market A, event A
- use the back price on formula to determine the amount to win when dutch lay on market B, event A

The closest I've got is that I set the variable globally and the formula is fine.
However, the back price is not necessarily from event A. 

Any idea?

hi
if you could include your trigger, it will be easier to spot the error.

hi
the reason why it did not work as it should have is you did not have a condition to check if the variable had been set before placing the bet.
i have added the condition to the trigger

please use test mode

Thank you McBee.

However, is not really working as I was looking for it to work.
I will try to explain better:

Right now is using the variable, however if I have 3 events that I am monitoring, the trigger will pick randomly the event for  the Over/Under 2.5 back odds.

Ex.

Event 1 - Team A vs Team B OU 2.5 back 1.6
Event 2 - Team C vs Team D OU 2.5 back 1.9
Event 3 - Team E vs Team F OU 2.5 back 2.4

Now, it is using the Event 1 back price to dutch lay  the correct score on Event 3.
What I would like is to use Event 1 back price for Event 1 correct score and so on.

hi
sorry, but i am confused now.
in your first post you said,
Quote
- remember back price from market A, event A
- use the back price on formula to determine the amount to win when dutch lay on market B, event A
so you wanted to take the price from a to dutch in b

please can you say exactly what it is that you want to do and we can convert this into triggers.

I will try again.

I would like to use the back price from O 2.5 market to set the amount to win (amount_to_win/ back_price) on the correct score market in the same event (game).

Ex.  This is how it should work

AC Milan - Barcelona O 2.5 back_price=1.9

amount_to_win=55

AC Milan - Barcelona correct score to dutch lay 0-2 (10.5) and 0-3 (12.5)

So the amount to win will be 55/1.9 = 28.94


At this point is working like this:

- let's say, I am monitoring in the same time Juventus - Real Madrid and Chelsea - Steaua.

- the trigger will randomly use the O 2.5 back_price from these games too to calculate the amount to win for the AC Milan correct score market.

The trigger should not cross games (O2.5 back_price from AC Milan - Barca should be used just on AC Milan Barca  correct score and not on the other games. Same for the Juventus - Real and Chelsea - Steaua).

I hope not it make more sense ... if not ... I don't know how to explain it better :)

hi
i see what you want now.
here is the trigger using the market parent id.
in the variable window type ou_market_parent_id and make sure that the markets have the same id.
for some reason today there are some games with the correct score id 27057439 and the over/under showing -27057439, so there is not an id match (SFC opavaU19 v FK Teplice U19), yet again another betfair error.

please use test mode

Thank you.
I will test it.
I also changed the condition to ou_market_parent_id since it was still with over_odds
