Betfair SP
« on: 15 Apr 2015, 15:54 »
hello,
I have a simple question before repurchase MFPro.
It is possible to create a trigger that back every horse with BSP (betfair starting price) between X and Y ?

thank you

Technically No.
BSP is not known until 'After the Off'
You can use variable like last_last_traded as a condition to test instead of BSP.

In the betfair site is possible to order a minimum odd to back an horse. (picture attached)
In MarketFeeder is also possible ?

And with the maximum BSP odd ?
lets imagine i want to back all horses with BSP between 2 and 3 .
with the minimum odd option (at Betfair website) I can order minimum to be 2 .
but with this option all the horses with odds BSP > 3 will be backed too ...
it is possible to create a trigger or something that if that happens it will try to cash out the market with the minimum loss possible?

Read your Help file regard the different price variable. It explains it well.

BSP is zero until after teh off. Any SP best must be submitted before the off. There is your problem.

You can limit SP bets.
Use last_last_traded or  near_sp as close alternates to BSP.

You can do this with a simple trigger.

                  Trigger1:     back all matching selections,
            Conditions 1:    Market minutes since the off is greater than 0
                              2:    Selections back price is between 2 and 3
                              3:    Selections actual starting price is between 2 and 3

This backs any selection with a starting price between 2 and 3.

Won't wok scummbags.
As stated in previous post.

From help file:
"Places one "back at SP" bet on each qualifying selection. This is a special type of bet not to be confused with placing a regular back bet at the actual starting price after the off. The price limit and liability of each bet are evaluated from the expressions in those fields. If a market does not support SP betting or if it is already In-Play, the action will do nothing."

Your suggestion which includes
Market minutes since the off is greater than 0  AND
Selections actual starting price is between 2 and 3

is not valid. I don't think you can place a SP bet after the off. It must be submitted before the off (with conditions). Happy to be corrected.

You are right my trigger wouldn't place a SP bet, but it would place a bet on selections within your required odds that had a SP between your required odds. ???

 

Please note, BetFair is seems to be currently OFFLINE
