Trigger time v bet matched time
« on: 15 Jan 2013, 22:20 »
Hi,

Quick question, hopefully. I have synchronised my computer clock with Betfair clock. Within my trigger I have set a user variable (bet_time) being now_time, recording the time the trigger conditions were met and a back bet placed.

This then compares to the bm_backtime.

In a recent example the bet_time was 21:58:55 and the bm_backtime (for the corresponding trigger/bet) was 21:58:52.

The bet matched time was 3 seconds before the trigger time. It was definitely for the corresponding trigger/bet and clocks were synchronised. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Dan

Hi
I tested this:

If your set user variable action is a second action in your backing trigger, bet_time and bm_backtime will be the same.

If your set user variable is a separate trigger with a condition trigger backing number of runs…, the difference in time between the 2 variables will be the duration of 1 refresh. This is because the bet_time trigger needs to wait 1 refresh to detect the backing trigger has executed.

Mark,
Thanks for the reply. Now going back through my triggers and trying to simplify things as I think it has become over complicated whilst putting together.

I'm still trying to learn the ropes here though but using variable action as a second action worked for me.
Gambling is a lifestyle.

 

Please note, BetFair is seems to be currently OFFLINE
