Hi all,
I'm not sure if I'm going to make sense here, or I'm getting confused, but I'll go for it anyway...
What is the best way to retrieve the theoretical 'profit / loss' figure that an individual selection has generated?
For example, let's assume we have the below matched bets on football:
Team 1
£10 back bet @ 3.85
£10.13 lay bet @ 3.80
Team 2
£10 back bet @ 2.3
Draw
No bets
So if I'm understanding correctly, Team 1 has in theory generated ~13p of profit from those bets.
Because of the back bet on Team 2 though, the profit_loss variable for Team 1 will now be ~ -£9.87 (I believe). And other variables such as tradeout_pl and tradeout_net will be zero for Team 1 as there's nothing to trade out.
So how do I retrieve that individual value of 13p for Team 1? Is there another variable I've missed, or does it have to be calculated manually? Or am I talking rubbish?
Many thanks.
