Number of horses based on odds of favourite
« on: 19 Dec 2020, 18:17 »
Hi,

I would like a trigger that selects the number of horses to spread a bet across, based on the odds of the 1st or 2nd favourite. So bet placed if odds of favourite or 2nd are: 

Between X.00 & X.00 2 Horses
Between X.00 & X.00 3 Horses
Between X.00 & X.00 4 Horses
Between X.00 & X.00 5 Horses
Between X.00 & X.00 6 Horses

Thanks very much.

Waywyrd.

Hello!

What is the criteria for picking the N horses (based on the price range of the first 2 favs)?
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!

Hi,

The criteria for picking the number of horses is based on the odds range of either the 1st or 2nd favourite. Starting with either the 1st favourite as the starting selection: 
Between X.00 & X.00 2 Horses 
Between X.00 & X.00 3 Horses
Between X.00 & X.00 4 Horses
Between X.00 & X.00 5 Horses
Between X.00 & X.00 6 Horses

Or alternatively the 2nd favourite as the starting point for selection:
Between X.00 & X.00 2 Horses
Between X.00 & X.00 3 Horses
Between X.00 & X.00 4 Horses
Between X.00 & X.00 5 Horses
Between X.00 & X.00 6 Horses

Favourite was being offered @ X.X. From the above table look for X.X, then bet on the first 4 horses in the betting market i.e. 1st Favourite, 2nd favourite, 3rd favourite and 4th favourite.

Second favourite was used as starting point, being offered @ X.X. From the above table look for X.X, then bet on the first 4 horses in the betting market i.e. 2nd Favourite, 3rd favourite, 4th favourite and 5th favourite.


Hope this helps.

Waywyrd.

Hello!

Please see your triggers attached.

Use the constants inside to adjust the trigger settings.

Make sure to test the triggers in Test Mode.

Beware of placing bets below the minimum! Make sure that liab_size is big enough to avoid bets smaller than £0.1.
