Help - monitor race and place bets
« on: 23 Aug 2012, 08:05 »
Have any one got an idea how to implement this trigger:

1: Find the horses whose odds fall between 3.0 and 4.0.
2: Monitor the odds 5 minutes prior to the race.
   (If the odds are decreasing 5 to 2.5 minutes prior to the race, place a back bet).
   (If the odds are increasing 5 to 2.5 minutes prior to the race, place a lay bet).
3: Place a back or lay bet 2.5 min before the race begins.
4: Place a second bet (same amount) as soon as the odds change in at least 0.2 points 
    profits.
5: If odds does not increase or decrease prior to going in-play, distribute the loss 30     
    seconds after market going in-play.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

I wouldn't recommend distributing the loss 'in-play' as the market is delayed and volitile and any bet(s) may well get missed... better with a condition of "and minutes before the off is less than 0.05" (or whatever time you wanted close to the start)

hi

Please check the manual.

pdif_[minutes] & lpdif_[minutes] will do what you need.

start monitoring @ 5 minutes [refresh +- 5/10 seconds]

Once per selection
minutes to off is less than 2.5 & gt 2 [don't want to back/lay to close to the off]
pdif_2.5 < 0 back
pdif_2.5 > 0 lay

I would also recommend distribute profit/loss at least 10/20 secs before off @best to guarantee you are matched!

good luck.
Fortune favors the brave!
