  • hi,
    I am using the following condition in my trigger
    'and market's minutes before the off is less than 1'
    However it is placing bets long after the off and upon checking
    the logs it says "true"
    In 'settings' I have selected start monitoring markets 10 minutes before the off.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    what are you trying or want the trigger to do.

  • maybe set your market status in the trigger to 'idle or suspended'.  That should stop it  firing inplay.

  • Hi mcbee,
    I have a trigger with 3 sets of 'OR' condition blocks.
    I want the first of the three to place a bet prior to the event going in play.

    armarni.... you may be right if I add:
    'and market's status is idle'
    Hopefully that should solve it

    all agree ?

    Thanks a heap

  • hi,

    Does minutes since off include time markets started monitoring in settings?
    Or minutes from time market goes in play?

    Whichever way I want the trigger to fire no later than 10 minutes after
    event goes in play.
    How does this work nowadays with tennis events being delayed ? and the in play clock keeps on ticking even overnight.
    My objective is to bet no later than 10 minutes of actual tennis being played irrespective of recording clocks etc
    Can this be attained ?
    Many thanks

    Hi
    your conditions
    AND
         selections trigger expression market_score1 is greater than 0
         or selections trigger expression market_score2 is greater than 0

    You can also set a user variable with now_time when the above conditions are met.
    then
    and selections trigger expression (now_time-uservar)/mf_minute is less than 10

  • Hi Mark,

    Nice to see you on here again.
    Thanks, it makes sense.

  • Hi Mark,

    Is there an and/or function for one condition in the one condition block.
    You gave the following conditions:
    AND
         selections trigger expression market_score1 is greater than 0
         or selections trigger expression market_score2 is greater than 0

    The way I currently structure this is to make a new "OR" condition block.
    I feel this could get out of hand if there are multiple and/or conditions hence
    I believe I am missing something.
    Thanks once again

  • Hi
    I think what you are asking is what I suggested above. In the attached screenshot the conditions will be met if:

    selections back price is between 2.00 and 4.00
    and rank is 1 or 2
    AND the game is in progress because
    player 1 has a score
    or player 2 has a score

    I hope this answers your question.

  • Hi Mark,
    I have three condition blocks all set to "OR"
    with about eight conditions in each block

    example

    OR
         selection's rank equals 1
         and number of back matched equals 0
         and etc etc
         etc up to about 8 conditions
    OR
         selection's rank equals 1
         and number of back matched equals 1
         and etc etc
         etc up to about 8 conditions
    OR
         selection's rank equals 1
         and number of back matched equals 1
         and etc etc
         etc up to about 8 conditions

    What I would like to do is to add
    AND
         selections trigger expression market_score1 is greater than 0
         or selections trigger expression market_score2 is greater than 0
    in the first "OR" condition block.

    But the error message of course says AND and OR do not match.
    Thanks for further help

  • Hi Mark,

    Things get a little tricky when play stops overnight and restarts next day with a score greater than 0. Lets say the tennis match score is 1-1 then I would not want to bet it
    as my rule was to bet less than 10 minutes since the off. Which in the above case would be the day before.
    How can I ensure that the trigger obeys only the first "in play" session ?
    To confuse matters even further I have noticed that sometimes overnight some events still show "in play" and other times "idle" with both occasions showing scorelines. This sounds like a Betfair issue. I do realise some matches around the world can go on shortly after midnight but not 3,4 or 5am. In addition no changes to volume proves market is idle despite sometimes showing "in play"
    Anyway back to my trigger and how to fire only during first "in play" session.
    If that is possible Mark
    Cheers
    R
