  • How can I select place markets that are handicaps, when they don't have Hcap in the market name?

  • hi
    you will have to load and monitor both win and place markets , then use the winplace condition in the place market to choose win market handicap.

  • Thanks mcbee,  I was hoping there was a way of selecting them in Market Locator, or using a market code or similar.  So I would need to load all races, delete the win markets that aren't handicaps and then delete the place markets using the winplace condition?  I only ask because there is a competitor bot that appears to be able to accomplish this without all that messing about.

  • hi
    I just checked the time machine handicap place markets 2013 and 2018 and they have the handicap info in the market information.
    sorry but I cannot check the live markets at the moment due to betfair not having a betting licence in Bulgaria.
    try using a different market selection method , there are 2 , 1 for todays markets and 1 for horse racing , one of them might have the Hcap in the place market.

  • No Hcap is not present with both selection sources.   I need to fully automate market loading for unattended use,  Looks as though deleting the non-handicaps using winplace in the triggers, will be the only method.

  • I don't think my requirement can be fulfilled.  I can delete all unsuitable win markets to leave only Handicaps with the appropriate number of runners.   But I can't delete the corresponding unsuitable place markets since with:
    Selections Trigger Expression winplace_market_name   there is no option of Does not Contain "Hcap".   
    Any more ideas anyone, I only want to end up with Handicap place markets, but it doesn't matter if the corresponding win markets remain in the list.

  • Hi
    not tested this but the principle should be right:

    once you've deleted the unsuitable win markets
    delete place markets where
    runner_number is not equal to winplace_runner_number

    edit: 
    and then after that you could delete remaining win markets to leave just the place markets of your choice
