Unmatched bets place at SP
« on: 09 Feb 2020, 17:52 »
My first post in a long while.
Can anyone help me with placing unmatched bets at SP for
a scalping trigger.
Thanks

Good to see you back, have you been on a world cruise? ;D

Choose the bet persistence if you want to place an unmatched bet and take SP if it remains unmatched at in-play. See screenshot.

Or, to place a bet at SP use the Back at SP or Lay at SP trigger action.

There are some ready made SP triggers you can look at here.

Thanks Mark, For the past 5 years I have been developing models for my lifelong passion of betting on horse racing. I am quite happy with the outcome so far and now have free time to pick up where I left off with scalping etc using MFP.
Do I need a new block ? How can the trigger know it is the last unmatched bet before start of race ?
Thanks and good to know you are still around.

If you set bet persistence to Take SP, then any unmatched bets will be matched at SP at the off.

say you are using a repeating back to lay trigger pre-off:

back matched
lay matched
back matched
lay matched
back matched > goes inplay
lay unmatched > this will be matched at SP

so you do not need a new trigger, just set the lay trigger to Take SP, and the last unmatched lay bet will be matched at SP
the backing trigger's persistence should be set to Cancel

the above is for back to lay
