  • Hi Guys,
    I've looked through the forum trying to find someone with a similar problems but cant find what I need.

    MF Pro loads up football markets daily and looks for certain criteria few minutes before the match starts to place a bet.

    If no bet has been placed it deletes the market(match) few minutes after it starts and carries on monitoring matches that have bets. That works fine for markets that go in-play but those that dont, suspended, the markets aren't deleted.

    I even set up a trigger to delete markets(matches) 3 hours after they started, that doesn't work either and all thats left is a glut on markets that didn't go in-play and I have to delete them manually!

    Any help would be much appreciated!

  • hi
    you have to decide a cut off time.
    so if there is no bet placed after the start time plus your limit, then delete.
    3 conditions
    and markets number of matched lay bets is equal to 0
    and markets number of matched back bets is equal to 0
    and markets minutes before the off is equal or less than - (your limit)

  • So what you're saying mcbee is that markets have to be deleted if no bets are placed based on criteria and market is suspended(match starts)?

    That would explain, nothing can be done while market is suspended!

  • hi
    not every market is suspended at the time of the inplay, because sometimes betfair do not press the in-play button.
    also some matches are not monitored inplay by betfair.
    so the before start time goes minus until it is finished.
    this is why you need to make a cut off time of maybe (minus) - 10 minutes , you will notice that after a certain time the value of the price goes against you, so it is better to only go one or two minutes after the start time, ie- minus 2 minutes.

  • Hello,
    I set MF Pro to delete markets 3 mins after the official off if no bet placed... in-play markets are deleted but those that go 'suspended' are never deleted, even with another trigger I've set to delete markets 3.5 hours after they start, they still remain and I have to delete manually!

    Would you happen to have an example trigger?
    Regards

  • hi
    if betfair mark the market as suspended then the trigger cannot delete it, because when suspended it is not been monitored, for a trigger to work, the market has to be monitored.
    try deleting markets before the start time using the   market_turn_inplay   condition
    so to delete a market that will not turn in-play you need the condition
    and selections trigger expression market_turn_inplay is equal to 0
