Football ( match_minute )

Hi,
Can someone please let me know the best way to work out the time in the second half please? Is match_minute literally the number of minutes since the match first kicked off, injury time and half time included?

So for example if I want to check something at the 80th minute in a game is it.

match_minute = 45 + match_extra_time + 15 + 35

Thanks in advance.

Hi
Yes match_minute is the value of the current match minute in the game. It is the same as the progress bar on Betfair.
Towards half time match_minute will get to say, 44, 45, 46, 47 (two mins stoppage time played) and then it will reset to 46 as soon as second half is in-play.

Thanks that actually makes it much easier to deal with. Another quick question what's the easiest way of determining that the first half is over and it's half time please?

I knew you were going to ask that lol

accurate: monitor a half-time market and wait for it to be settled

I use this and it does the job (you can play around with what suits you best):
markets minutes since the off is between 52 and 57

i.e. 45+say max 5mins 1st half stoppage and a minute or two

possibly also use a combination of match_minute:
markets minutes since the off is between 52 and 57
and selections trigger expression match_minute is equal or greater than 45

Thanks!
