total liability on Lay bets
« on: 31 Mar 2017, 21:58 »
Hi,

Is there a way that I can find out the liability of my lay bets in a football match...

For example, I place a Lay bet in the Half Time market on the draw. before kick off, it has odds of 3.0, and I lay it with £10 - cost/liability = £20

Now, 15 minutes in, the odds have dropped to 2.1, I then place another lay bet for £10, which produces a further cost of £11

So, my total cost/liability on this market is £31

Can you tell me how I request that value?

I want to run a trigger so that once the odds have reached a set point, I can then reduce my liability to £0. I can do the maths for this, as long as I have the liability value..

is there a selections trigger expression that I can use to give me the total liability? I can't find one in the manual...

It would be cumbersome to store a value for the first bet/odds and then calculate the second bet/odds into another value and store it - surely there is a simple method for me to do all of this...?

Thanks

Mark.

There is a simple trigger variable for the average weighted price of the bets you placed on a particular selection, bm_layavp or bm_backavp, depending on the type of bet. So in this case the overall liability would be calculated using this formula:

lay_matched*(bm_layavp-1)
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!
