Find the days race with the most runners.

Is it possible to, from a list of the days loaded horse markets, identifty which market has the most runners?

hi
yes , but you would have to monitor ALL the races , then have a trigger to record the meeting with the most runners and maybe have another trigger to delete all the other meetings to save cpu usage.
use the condition for markets number of selections.

hmm can you elaborate a bit on this bit please!

"then have a trigger to record the meeting with the most runners"

hi
you would have 2 triggers
1 to record the runner_number  in the actions ( variable).
in the conditions a simple condition to check the (recorded runner number , variable from the actions) is less than the runner number
then the trigger number 2
delete any market that the recorded runner number (variable) is less than the recorded runner number
you will be left with any market that is equal to the recorded runner number

yep ok ta

hi
I forgot to mention the other condition in the delete trigger
AND selections trigger expression market_num is equal to refr_market_num

this condition makes sure that ALL the markets in the my markets list are been monitored before any are deleted.
or if you want to place a bet in the market with the most runners , change the delete trigger to set user variable with the value as market_parent_id , then use that value in the betting trigger to choose the correct market
