  • Hi all,

    I am trying to make a trigger that only loses if the away team wins 0-1 in football.

    This is how I see it working:

    • Load football markets: Match Odds, Correct Score and Under/Over 1.5 Goals
    • Check if the home team has odds of 2 or less before the off in Match Odds - otherwise delete the markets
    • Dutch back 0-0, 1-0 and over 1.5 goals in the Correct Score and U/O 1.5 markets when the back book of those selections are under 95% (this might not be until 20 mins or so into the game)
    • If a goal is scored before the back book reaches 95%, delete markets

    I can get the trigger to work if there is only 1 game loaded, but not if lots of games are loaded - it dutch backs correct scores of one game and over 1.5 goals in another game! ::)

    I can't seem to get the hang of checking the odds of selections in different markets in the same game. I think it's to do with market_parent_id or market_parent_id_1_.... ?! I looked at the lay the draw, back 0-0 trigger but still can't work it out!

    I can post my trigger here if that's any help, but I think I've worked on it so much it's no use to anyone!

    Thanks for your help!

  • Hi
    Please post your trigger file.

  • Hi MarkV,

    Attached is my trigger. I think I've worked on it so much that I've over complicated it?

    There is a "Total Goals" trigger in there, which you can ignore for now, in the future I will check the Over 1.5 goals with the 2 Goals or more market and see which has best odds.

    Thanks,

    Whitey

  • Hi
    I have spent some time on this and also have a block on getting it to work per market. So I am asking for some help:
    We are trying to calculate a book % across 3 selections in 2 markets with the same market_parent_id
    Because the book% is recalculated at intervals, 3 user variables are used rather than remember

    The final variable, book_market_parent_id, contains the book %

    Attached is a stripped down and modified trigger file from the original. It is a block of triggers to calculate the book% as described above. How can this be done individually per market_parent_id (game) so the result can be used in the betting triggers of the original file?

  • Hi Whitey,

    This is my first post here, and I'm prepared to be shot down, but....

    Why not just lay the 0-1 scoreline? I'm pretty sure that in most cases you would get a better return for your total stake, the trigger would be easier, plus you would pay less commission as all your stake is in the same market, unlike the correct score and over 1.5 goal market, where you would pay commission on your winnings in whichever market was successful

    Just a thought

  • You know when you over think something... well this is one of those times!!!

    I tested what you said teejay and you are correct. Laying 0-1 produced more of a profit than trying to dutch back those 3 selections and I didn't have to wait 10 to 20 minutes into the game.

    Sorry MarkV, although it hasn't been a total waste of (my) time, as I've learnt more about the market_parent_id_1_ variable and now I will work on another trigger that dutches between 2 markets for a profit no matter what the outcome. I saw a game at 1-0 and the odds for 1-0 was 3.95 and the odds for Over 1.5 Goals was 1.35 providing an opportunity for a (small) dutch bet. This makes me wonder if I should monitor markets waiting for a dutch.

    I do have a question; can you order the selections in a remember variable by index? test_market_parent_id_1_back_price would give you the back price of the fav and not the first selection. test_market_parent_id_s_1_back_price doesn't work.

    Thanks,

    Whitey

    Hi
    Yes. In the trigger where you are working with the remembered selections, use the following condition:
    and selections sorting order is defined by sel_index

  • Good luck whitey, I did try try laying the 0-1 scoreline manually a few years ago, using it when the home team were 1.70 or lower. Unfortunately, it didn't prove profitable (as with everything else I've tried)

    Maybe using odds up to 2 will make a difference as some of the odds for 0-1 will be shorter and therefore have less liability riding on them
