horse racing place market rank syntax
« on: 08 Aug 2012, 10:45 »
what i'm doing in three triggers is:

in the place market i want to back either 1st , 2nd or 3rd favourite depending on the number of places, in the trigger i express the selections as:

IF(market_places=2,1,IF(market_places=3,2,3))

doesn't work, nor does this work IF(places=2,1,IF(places=3,2,3))

what am i missing?

i want this in one rather than three triggers (less is more...)

thanks

reply to all that have read and posted replies:
it's very simple, just use "places +/-" for the position you're trying to achieve, so if the rank you want to back the second favorite in a race where 3 runners place, use "places-1", or the third favorite in a 4 place race, "places-1", etc etc.
this way it can all be done with one trigger and thus lose 5 lines of or, or, or.

thanks for your help initially.
