  • Hi
    I have some triggers than run nicely, one of which is laying a named horse to a set liability.
    The only slight issue it that the liability cannot changed for an individual horse. I load my selections and then let MarketFeeder do it's thing.
    I am saying horse but of course it applies to any lay opportunity.
    So I wondered if it is possible to link a horse in a list to a particular liability, I doubt it is possible.
    Example
    Horses
    Scooby Doo
    Fred Flintstone
    Barney Rubble
    Then a list of liability amounts
    £25
    £35
    £50
    So Scooby Doo liabilty £25, Fred Flintstone liability £35, and Barney Rubble liability £50.
    As I said doubt it is possible but don't ask, don't get.

  • Hi
    set up a text file with your selection names (spelling exactly as betfair and strings in quotes) with a tab and your liability for the selection. Using your selections as an example:

    "Scooby Doo"<tab>25.00
    "Fred Flintstone"<tab>35.00
    "Barney Rubble"<tab>50.00

    use this text file to import your selections with the values.

    the first tab separated value after the selections name is variable: imported_1

    the formula for the amount when laying to a fixed liability is: liability/(lay_price-1)

    so in your laying trigger amount field use: imported_1/(lay_price-1)

    if you are laying at SP then just use imported_1 in the liability field.

    please test in test mode

  • Hi
    Tying it out but cannot get it to work
    the file is fine as it works with the selections as normal
    I have laid my selections for today exactly like this
    One tab after selection then amount


    "Loch Linnhe"    20.00
    "Just A Feeling"    25.00

    and used
    imported_1/(lay_price-1)
    as the amount

    However it does not work, I have tried many ways and combinations

  • Hi
    two screenshots attached, first is a lay on a single imported selection, second shot shows two imported selections with liabilities as per text file values, and the simple trigger.

  • Oh
    Cheers for that I see know.
    I was trying to import them via a trigger using..
    Selection's Trigger Expression sel_name is in file C:\Program Files (x86)\MarketFeeder Pro 8\Lay.txt
    I will do it the other way now many thanks
    Mike
