  • Hi

    Can someone advise how to modify the attached trigger to place bets as follows.
    1) Betfair odds <= 25.0 as currently set ie:  .5 mins before race start time.
    2) >25 @ BSP

    Many thanks

    Ian

  • Hi
    As long as all selections back prices are less than 1000
    In the price field: IF(back_price>25, 1000, back_price)

    If the current back price is greater than 25 this will place an unmatched back bet at a price of 1000 which will be matched at BSP at the off. If the current back price is 25 or below it will operate as per your trigger at the moment. If per chance the 1000 bet gets matched before the off you could be a lucky man.

    As this trigger is relying on SP it may be worthwhile putting in a condition to check the market supports SP:
    and markets SP is supported

    The other way to do this is two triggers, one for back prices less than 25 just like your current trigger, with another condition:
    and selections back price is equal or less than 25
    and another trigger to back at SP
    condition: selections back price is greater than 25

  • Thanks Mark, I will try the former suggestion.

  • That didn't seem to work.
    It did place the >25 bet correctly, however failed to fire a bet <25
    I tried with and without the 
    and markets SP is supported, condition.

  • Hi
    I just tested the formula in the Heinz trigger. It sends a price 1000 bet for odds over 25, and it sends a back_price bet for odds 25 or less. The only time I can fault it is if there is a problem with the imported amount.
    Please check the trigger log for a message: error in price or amount...

    In the attached screenshot you can see the formula resolves correctly, but imported_1 holds no value, so the trigger does not fire.

  • Hi Mark,
    I have a new problem in that there is a trigger beep sound but no bet fired however the program log says a bet shows bet is unmatched, if unmatched will be matched at SP at in-play.

    It may have something to do with the disconnection problem which no fix has been suggested. I had set mins to less than 6 minutes so surely in 6 minutes it would have placed the bet.

    Any idea ?

  • The next race the trigger fired correctly. BTW A few days ago I removed the >25.0 condition.
    So no idea why the trigger fired the previous race today and no bet placed.

  • Hi
    I had something similar this morning where a trigger sent a bet which was recorded in MF but was not received in that market at Betfair, possibly during a "zero balance" moment. Clearly there is currently a problem with data flow between the software and Betfair and I think it would be wise to hold off until the issue is resolved. Perhaps just check your Betfair account to see all is in order.

  • Hi,
    I'm glad I'm not the only one. I checked my account and all is in order.
    Will there be an announcement regarding problem if and when it is resolved. ?
    Thanks
    Ian

    ps.... I'll test the HEINZ trigger once this problem is sorted. My best guess is the <25 bet didn't
    fire due to the zero balance issue.

  • Suppose I want to split the bet amount on the notepad to fire bets at intervals.
    For example I have a bet of 40 on the Notepad which I import selection for Auto Trading.
    I want to place bets from say 20 minutes before race and have bets placed every 5 minutes
    to the OFF. That would mean 4 units bet every firing.
    Is this possible from the Notepad imported selection method ?
    Thanks
    Ian
