backing horses using low odds
« on: 21 Nov 2018, 15:58 »
hi
can you please create me a new trigger that can do the following.
only backs the 1st fav.
the number of seconds left until the end of the race.
minimum back price.
max back price.
size of the bet.
create a loss distribution so the software places a lay bet should the fav start losing the race. to offset the loss as much as possible.
i think I've covered everything if you can add to make it better i would very much appreciate it. 

many thanks

david plant.

Be careful betting in running on Oz racing. The liquidity is low and a horse can go from 10.0 (say ) to 1,05 in one drop. Races are mostly sprints as you would know.

hi
last week you made me a trigger for the above subject. i am referring to the UK horse racing version.
size of bet
the number of seconds left till the end of the race
min back price
max back price
minimum loss based on the percent of profit.

sorry, it's like this i cant copy and paste trigger.
is it possible to amend the current loss trigger to one that can distribute the loss between all runners in the current market and to distribute the total loss equally please advise me if its possible if so what to do next thank you.   dave plant.

hi
the trigger distributes the loss between all selections now , so I am not sure what you are after.
please give an example of what you need.

Hi
What I mean is if there are 10 runners and the loss was say £100 .each of the runners would share the loss equally and my liability would be only £10 and the other 9 horses would have a loss of £10 each. To make up the £100 loss.
