help with non runner after race
« on: 04 Aug 2017, 20:15 »
hi there, i had a problem today with a horse racing market where the horse i backed was declared a non runner after the race was finished.

it was unruly in the stalls, the horse was removed from market feeder and my bet was back into my account.

here is my trigger setup:

 trigger <name> number of runs is equal to 0 overall
     or previous triggered events status is settled 

the race with the non runner had a true statement for the previous triggered events status is settled,

the race after the one with the non runner didnt place any bets because both the condidtions above produced a false result, even although the market was settled.

thanks

Hello!

Unfortunately, there is no ultimate way for MF Pro to detect whether the previous race is settled other than to check that its bets have been settled. It checks whether you placed any bets in a particular market and if you did, it waits till they arrive in your Account Statement. Otherwise this could potentially lead to situations where BetFair marked the market as "Settled" but the bets have not been settled yet (which happens all the time), so the program "thinks" that it is OK to proceed and follows wrong staking plans etc.

This case is an exception that, I admit, is not processed correctly. However, it happens too rarely to pose a recurring problem with triggered betting.
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!

thanks for the reply, at least I know my triggers are ok.

my triggers work with novice and maiden races so obviously the horses are less raced and not used to stalls.

i still made a profit, so not to bothered, but I was at home on holiday so i could restart the triggers.

 

Please note, BetFair is seems to be currently OFFLINE
