Linking Greyhound Win and Forecast Market
« on: 11 Sep 2013, 14:57 »
Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how to link the Greyhound win market with the forecast market?

In football you can link them with market_parent_id but the Greyhound Win market_parent_id is different to the Greyhound Forecast market_parent_id!

I would really like bet on the forecast market, only if the fav in the win market is over 3 odds and 5th and 6th ranked selections are over 8 odds.

Thanks,

Whitey  :)
Yeah! :p

Not sure I know the answer.  Is there a constant numerical difference between the market_id of the win market and the forecast market, ignoring market_parent_id?  I have noticed this in previous attempts to link markets, although can't remember exactly what I was doing.

Hi
Please have a look at the attached trigger file.
It is just an idea which is untested, so I don't know if it will work.
Hope it helps a bit.

Hi rubold and MarkV,

Unfortunately not. They don’t seem to have a constant number difference.

One race:
Forecast:
market_parent_id = 27064389
market_id = 110927174
Win:
market_parent_id = 27064323 (difference of 66)
market_id = 110926610 (difference of 564)

Another race:
Forecast:
market_parent_id = 27064390
market_id = 110927189
Win:
market_parent_id = 27064495 (difference of -105)
market_id = 110930113 (difference of -2924)

---------------------------------------------------

MarkV - thanks for that, I will have to try it tomorrow as the races have stopped for tonight.

Thanks,

Whitey

Yeah! :p
