Trigger Help lay_amount
« on: 01 May 2023, 18:26 »
Hello,
 
I would like my trigger remember all the lay_amounts offered over a set period for each horse.
 
How would I write it in my trigger?
 
I would like the option to possibly back on the horse with the highest amount recorded
 
how would I write this?
 
 
Alternatively

Total all the amounts for each horse and place a back bet on the highest amount.
 

Again, how would I write this?

Hi
There is a variable lay_volume which is the sum of the three best lay amounts (or if retrieve all price offers is switched on in the settings sum of all lay_amounts offered)

to bet on the selection with the highest amount:

selections sorting order is defined by lay_volume
and selections trigger expression match_index is is equal to matching_number

I'm looking for the highest submitted over 10 minutes for example if someone put a back bet in at £5000, and  that was the highest amount over 10 minutes that would form part of my trigger. 

I wan't  the highest amount available not matched over a set period

Hi
Please try the attached trigger in test mode (it's a mod to a previous trigger of yours).

It will continuously scan the 3 lay amounts for each selection and will write the highest amount offered and selection name to user variables high and sln. These variables will only change if the scan finds a higher amount offered.

You can add a timer or time conditions if you want it to run it over a period of minutes.

I have made some changes to the trigger (attached) however I cant get it to scan over a set period. It places a bet instantly. I have no betting until 1min before race, set on settings. I have seen other horses with higher amounts the trigger should have picked.

Also, in the settings if "no triggering til 1 min before start" is ticked then the various triggers will not start until then. I think its best to leave that unticked and control betting through trigger conditions.
