Basic in-play football (soccer) trigger

Hi

I tested the trigger you posted and it works ok.

The most likely reason log may show FALSE on that condition is because there have been more than 2.5 goals in the first half at triggering time. First Half Goals markets are 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5. It is feasible to trade each half separately in standard OU markets, but you would need to adjust your expected odds accordingly, and use a condition: selections trigger expression match_period is equal to 1 (or 2) in each half's trigger.

Second reason the log could show FALSE on that condition is the live score data is not available for that event
you could set up a trigger to DELETE EVENT if match_minute is greater than say 15 and score_exists is equal to 0

If it is happening in all markets then check the setting in monitoring options Download Match Score is ticked

Hi Mark,

Thanks for testing the trigger. It's a strange one, it worked for 1 fixture yesterday then failed for all the others. Usually I can see a timeline underneath the active markets, showing the goals, match time, cards, etc. But yesterday I couldn't. I wonder if there was a problem with the betfair API? Anyway I've reloaded MF and shall monitor it today.

Many thanks for the feedback, I'm slowly learning and appreciate all the support!

Cheers, Mark

Hi Mark,

I have another trigger with different rules but it's also based on the overs markets. The problem is that if I add the markets for this strategy they will get picked up by the existing trigger as well. Do I need a second license?

Thanks, Mark

Hi
No you do not need another licence. You can run a second instance of the program, or more instances, each with their own settings profile. If you look in the help file in the section Login Window it explains how. Couple this with the setting in Betting Options: Ignore all bets except except those placed in the current MF profile.

It is possible to run several trigger strategies from one trigger file but the trigger conditions need to be very detailed to prevent them interfering with each other.

That's excellent news, many thanks for the information!
