identify selections by matched bets possible?
« on: 22 Jul 2015, 18:23 »
is it possible to tell what selections have a matched back bet on them?

eg.... if i have 2 matched back bets and i want to see the selection id on the last one is it possible?

basically i am trying to distribute the loss of a selection if it is bet 2 out of 2 (the last one)  and its odds rise back above a certain amount

hi
to see if a selection has a bet on it you would use bm_backa
for the selections id you would use  sel_id
as for knowing which selection got matched first or second, i am not sure.

There are a few ways of knowing.  It depends on how the bets are being placed.

For example if you know that Trigger 1 is going to fire bet 1 and Trigger  2 is going to fire bet 2; then you could use the condition and Trigger 2 number of runs per selection" is equal to 1 in your stoploss trigger as a qualifying condition before it fires.

But it really depends how you are placing the bets.
