please help with trigger modification
« on: 02 Apr 2013, 13:06 »
Hello all,

I am glad to be here with such a nice community. I need help to modify this trigger.

Trigger condition:

Repeat: just once
Dutch Lay  Amount to  win am_to_win/(1-commission) Bet full amounts Keep
Selections: All Matching Selections
Markets: Horse Races      Market Status: In-Play
Execute: once per market
Conditions are met
Selection's Lay Price is between 1.01 and 1.95
and Selection's Trigger Expression matching_number is equal or greater than 2

Program log:

Going to LAY 24,88 at 1.46 on selection '4. Excapishe'. Bet is unmatched. The bet was placed by Trigger "Horses - Dutch 2 below 2.00".
Going to LAY 32,72 at 1.03 on selection '2. French Lesson'. Bet is matched. The bet was placed by Trigger "Horses - Dutch 2 below 2.00".

Trigger log:

Condition is: TRUE. valid for 2 selections: 4. Excapishe, 2. French Lesson.
Selection: 4. Excapishe, initial expr.: am_to_win/(1-commission), intermediate: 20/(1-0.06), final: 21.27659574.
Going to Dutch-LAY on 2 selections.
LAY 24,88 at 1.46 on "4. Excapishe"
LAY 32,72 at 1.11 on "2. French Lesson"

Account statement:

09:05:34   AUS / Town (AUS) 2nd Apr/ 19:03 R6 1200m CL3 - AUS   2. French Lesson   32.72   1.03   -0.98   102.46

What is happened here: 1 lay is matched and 1 lay remain unmatched. I want to have 2 lay MATCHED bets, if conditions are met with the same horse (with unmatched lay) or other horse, not 1 matched and 1 unmatched. Something like this: delete unmatched bet and make new 1 lay under 1.95 (?)


Thank you in advance

hi
it is difficult to get 2 matched below 2.00.
ways of making sure that you get your bets matched is to use best as the price,NOT lay_price, this will tell betfair that you will take the closest and lowest price available.
or you can use another trigger to cancel the lay bet and make a new lay bet.

hi,

Thank you for your fast response. I don't find "best as the price" in any trigger expressions. If cancel unmatched lay, what  is the trigger condition for Dutch Lay only for 1 lay?

Dana, in win markets 2 selections below odds of 2 will often only happen for a fraction of a second, as laying these to equal returns will always give a profit of course, the trouble is you and an awful lot of other people are trying to do the same thing and with the in-play delay (3 seconds) on Betfair meaning what appears on screen will have changed by the time your bet(s) are submitted, also anyone at the track with a laptop will be ahead of you and everyone else sat at home...

demon, I know that and also I know is a difference between test and real.  In test it works, but what is happened it was in real and still I want to make trigger modification.

Thank you,
Dana

hi
add a new trigger
match lay unmatched bets
you will have to add a condition to activate the trigger at a certain time, this is up to you to decide if the time is before in play x mins/secs or in play x mins/secs
this will match the unmatched bet at the current price.
