  • I have read many messages regarding changing the sort order based on short_sp / far_sp and actual_sp but still cannot get a trigger to work as I expect. I would like to back / dutch the 1st three horses based on the SP price order during pre-OFF. I'm evaluating the product and would like assistance in creating this trigger.

    Example
    Back Price / SP
    1. 2.3 / 3.4
    2. 4.5 / 4.8
    3. 6.3 / 2.1
    4. 14 / 7
    5. 4 / 2.9

    Based on the above example I would like to dutch selections 3, 5, 1 at back prices of 6.3, 4.0 and 2.3.

    thanks.

  • Hi
    the Betfair Starting Price (BSP or SP or actual_sp) is available as soon as the market turns in-play. In your example, where would you get the SP prices pre-off?

    yes you can easily make a trigger to dutch back the first three based on SP, but this would have to be in-play
    otherwise you can use near_sp or far_sp which are available pre-off

    for example using near_sp 1 minute before the off:
    dutch back
    all matching selections
    once per market
    market status: idle
    conditions:
    markets minutes before the off is less than 1
    and selections sorting order is defined by near_sp
    and selections trigger expression match_index is between 1 and 3

  • Thanks MarkV. I tried that code put still wasn't selecting the correct selects. I assume near_sp is the same as "Projected SP" what you see on the betfair site.

    Regards
