  • Hi,

    I would like to request a new trigger please. I will explain the bets and conditions I aim to use.

    Bets will be placed on soccer matches that have gone in play.
    Once 88 minutes has been played I want to back no more goals to be scored if the odds are above a certain level.  I will bet on over/under X.5 goals.

    For example:
    88 minutes have been played and the game is 1-0.  Odds of under 1.5 goals is above my minimum odds criteria.  Therefore I place a bet to back under 1.5 goals.

    If 88 minutes have been played and the game is 2-1 I would back under 3.5 goals, but only if the odds of under 3.5 goals meet my minimum number.

    I hope that explains the request.  I can explain in more detail if required.

    Thanks!

  • hi
    here is your trigger
    in the constant you can set
    Bet amount
    Minimum back price
    Minimum minutes in-play to place the bet
    Maximum minutes in-play to place the bet

    please note when setting the minutes in-play if you want the exact play minutes then add 15 to your 88 for the half time break.

    please use test mode until you are happy with your settings

  • Hi mcbee,

    Thanks a lot for setting up that trigger.  I've tried it many times now but for some reason it never places any bets.  I'm new to MFP so I'm sure I must be missing something obvious.

    I load all of the over/under markets. I set triggers to active.  I set test mode on. I click on start markets button. 

    Are there any particular markets that I must load?
    Anything you can think that would prevent this from working?

    Thanks!

  • If your Wager is below minimum, you need to tick "Allow small bets" under Settings/ Betting options. Otherwaise the bet will not be placed!

  • maybe the trigger hasn't been activated,as by default when you load up a new trigger it is loaded in a switched off state.  The light bulb circled in the picture need to be green for the trigger to be active

  • Thanks for the replies and suggestions.

    The Triggers are set to active and the green light shows.  I checked the minimum bet and within the trigger it was set to 2.  I checked default bet and that was at 4 so I changed to 2 just in case that makes any difference.  So far it doesn't seem to make a difference.

  • Hi
    Just tested the trigger and it works OK. The trigger requires the market score. Please check the following setting is ticked, save settings and restart the program:
    Settings > Monitoring Options > Market Refresh > Download match score

    and just confirm you have a test funds balance?

  • Thank you for the advice everyone. I'll try downloading the trigger again and restarting with this things in mind.
  • #9 by oble01 on 14 Jun 2015
  • So I reinstalled the full program and re-downloaded the trigger.  I set minimum odds to 1.2, default bet to £10, minimum time passed to 87 mins, and max time to 89 mins.

    I took a screenshot and attached to show an example of a bet I would have expected to be placed but nothing seems to have happened.  As you can see the time is 87 mins, back odds are greater than 1.2, triggers are active, and test mode is on with test funds available. 

    I've tried downloading just over/under markets.  I've also tried downloading additional markets like match odds, correct score, and a couple of others.  I've made sure the checkbox for download match score is checked.

    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

  • Hi
    The trigger uses minutes since the off, i.e. minutes since the market was turned in-play or, if the market is already in-play when monitoring (refreshing) started, minutes since monitoring started.

    Your screenshot shows the market in-play and monitored for nine minutes and eight seconds, so the trigger conditions were not met for the bet.

    Please start monitoring the markets about 1 minute before the scheduled start of the game.

    Also you need to factor in the half-time break to minutes since the off. So 87th minute of the game will be approx.:
    1st half          45
    extra say          2
    HT                15
    2nd half to 87    42
    total            104


    I would suggest you change the minimum constant to say 5 minutes in order to test the trigger actually works and you don't have to wait all that time. Then when you are happy it works ok, change the minimum constant to approx. 104 and the max to 114 or similar.

  • the new api has a variable called match_minute in the football markets, which might be more useful than minutes since the off, as it basically replicates the time that you see in the green box next to the score, and it takes into account stoppages and half time.
