Hi
If you want to specify a market and selection to bet e.g. OU2.5 and betting on Over then use these conditions:
markets betting code is Over/Under (Soccer) 2.5
and selections index is equal to 2

If you want to check a variable in OU2.5 from another market in the same game then use football8_ prefix e.g.
selections trigger expression football8_market_volume is greater than 1000

Good day Guys 

I hope this is a simple answer.

But what command do I enter in to the amount window to stake 1% of my bank on the selection.

I tried "bank/100" got rejected everytime

What else should I do?

Referring to above message.

Is there a key on the keyboard to press to use "Default lay amount" as the total liability stake?

Hi
try:
IF(test_mode=1, test_funds, total_funds)*(perc/100)
where perc is the percentage, so 1% will be
IF(test_mode=1, test_funds, total_funds)*(1/100)

The command is working now.

However for example (1/100) of 1000 fund is taking 10 as lay amount which meant at a odds of 8 total liability is 70USD.

Looking for a command to stake 1% of 1000 in this case as total liability i.e 1% of 1000 equal to 10usd as total amount that will be lost.

Please can you assist me on this issue?

Thank you again

Hi
this link should answer both questions. For the manual keyboard liability you need to switch to engineer mode. If you get errors when placing lay bets check you are not laying below Betfair's minimum lay liability

formula for laying percentage of bank liability: 
liability%*IF(test_mode=1, test_funds, total_funds)/100)/(lay_price-1)
so if 1% of bank:
1*IF(test_mode=1, test_funds, total_funds)/100)/(lay_price-1)

Please note, BetFair is seems to be currently OFFLINE
