Fixed odd
« on: 07 Jan 2015, 19:03 »
HI,

I have a problem with my trigger. I want that the trigger lay's only between 7 and 14, and i put it on conditions, but sometimes, it lay's at 6 or even at 20, 50...

What its best way to fixe the odd at the horses market?

Can i fixed a limit for the profit of my bet?

Thanks

I expect you have the 7 - 14 odds in the condition, but in the trigger price box have lay_price.

When the trigger fires the odds must be in the correct range but could have changed by the time the bet is placed - this is particularly likely if you are betting in play when the odds change very rapidly.

You could put 14 in the price box then it will not lay at higher values than that.

or you could put

MaxV(6,MinV(lay_price,14))

Which should use the lay price at the time but only bet in the range of 7 - 14.

I have not tried this but think it should work.

Perhaps MINV and MAXV need to be all in capital letters?

It is difficult to ensure that a lay bet will always be matched in a narrow odds range.
The best you can do is to place an order at a  price equal to your upper limit, in this case 14.0, with your exisiting condition of when lay price is between 7.0 & 14.0.  This will ensure that no bets are matched higher than 14, but still allow matches at a lower price.

You can never ensure that no bets will match at less than 7.0, since Betfair will always match lay orders at the lowest price available when the order is received by their server.

 

Please note, BetFair is seems to be currently OFFLINE
