Closest SP and rank - horse win market
« on: 16 Jun 2017, 04:42 »
I am trying to get the closest possible scenario, where the Rank of the Horse (say Rank =3) is actually the rank at SP, when the markets goes in-play. Let me explain:

I have the following trigger:
back at SP  Price Limit: 0  Liability: 10
Selections: First Matching Selection
Markets: All Markets
Execute: once per market
Market Status: Idle or Suspended

Condition:
Selection's Rank is equal to 3
and Market's minutes before the off is less than 0.1

What can happen is that when the bet is placed, the rank is 3, but when the market hits in-play the rank of the horse changed. Since my strategy is based on historical data, the rank needs to be 3. This does not happen all the time, only when other odds of horses are close to the rank 3 odds, and they change before the off. What would be the best strategy to put in place to rectify this, or get as many correct bets as possible?

Hi
You can try using near_sp:

markets minutes before the off is less than 0.1
(if you want to get even closer how about a condition like: and markets race status is going behind)
and selections sorting order is defined by near_sp
and selections trigger expression match_index is equal to 3

or inplay when SP is known, but no guarantee the back will be matched:

back
price: actual_sp
status: inplay
conditions:
selections sorting order is defined by actual_sp
and selections trigger expression match_index is equal to 3
