Backing Two Runners
« on: 27 Aug 2012, 17:20 »
I wish to back two runners in a race, if conditions are satisfied, and have the same set of conditions in the back triggers for each. How do I ensure that both horses are backed, please ? I have made a lot of effort to solve this for myself but am now forced to ask for help. Under my present setup, I find myself backing the first matching selection twice.

How can I make my bot back two separate horses, please ? I do not know which horses will be backed before the race as my conditions select them "in-running".

Do I have to add another condition like this, please ,

"and Market's number of selections is equal to 2"

in the trigger which places the back bets ?




I think you mean me to do something else but I don't understand what to do.

Hi
I think it is possible that the same selection may still be backed twice because you are not specifying which of the 2 to back.
How about:

Trigger 1
Matching_number is equal to 2
And match_index is equal to 1

Trigger 2
Matching_number is equal to 2
And match_index is equal to 2

or even just match_index is equal to 1/2 in each?

these conditions should be done as trigger expressions as mcbee says
Selection's Trigger Expression matching_number is....

Would you please write the conditions for me ? I have found the variables, match_index and match_number, but do not know how to word the first part of the conditions.

Should the condition start with "Selection's" or "Market's" , please ? Do I end up with two expressions which say "equal to" in the condition ?

Thanks

Thank you. You will never believe how much that has helped me to be better able to understand how MFP works. Obviously, there has been a great deal of effort made in preparing the manual but, like many others of its type, it makes assumptions about the knowledge of the user and sometimes does not explain what the writer takes for granted. So, for the totally new user it is sometimes inadequate, almost baffling.

I'll be able to read the manual with a better understanding now. I am very grateful.

Cheers !
