odds and money matched comparison
« on: 25 Jan 2015, 23:55 »
Hi,

I would like to try a trigger based on the comparison between the odds and the money matched on a horse.

I would like the trigger to be activated and back a selection when it's odds rank minus it's money matched rank is greater than 0.

So for example in the below table I've listed 4 horses ordered by their odds. The money matched rank doesn't match the odds rank so the trigger in this case would be activated and back Horse 3 at the current best back price.

Horse 1 - 3.0 - £6000 - 1 - 1
Horse 2 - 4.0 - £4000 - 2 - 3
Horse 3 - 5.0 - £5000 - 3 - 2
Horse 4 - 6.0 - £3000 - 4 - 4

For this example we'll use a back bet of £10.

Once backed I'd then like an opposing lay bet with green to be sent based on a minimum profit of 10%.

I'd also like to enable stop-loss based on a loss percentage of 10%.

Only trigger when the difference between best back price and best lay price is one tick.

Unmatched bets kept in play.

Only trigger on selections with odds less than 20.0.

Only trigger in the 60 mins before the race start.


Thanks in advance.

After more research on this it seems what I need is a "volume rank" option.

I've checked out the example below which I should be able to adapt once I've understood exactly everything it's doing first.

I'm guessing there's no "volume rank" option which I could just simply use? I've searched the forums but can't see anything other than the above example to work it out.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks.

Yeah I was trying to think if there was another way to do it with another variable.

"Basically" what i'm looking for is IF money matched on a selection is higher than its odds suggest (compared to the rest of the market) THEN BACK at the current best back price.

The "easiest" way I thought would be IF "odds rank" - "volume/matched rank" is greater than 0 THEN BACK.

I'm open to other suggestions though.

If I can get the above worked out then I think the other options I mentioned in my initial post I can work out easily enough.


Thanks again for your help.
Andy
