Hi,
I have a Back To Lay strategy, and my intention is to back 1 point at a high price, and lay 1 point at low price. The idea is to try to produce a profit, no matter what.
For each of the strategies I have, I want to find out how many bets were placed. The problem is that I have multiple strategies, so I cannot check the number of bets, because separate strategies have their own rules, so it has to be specific to a strategy.
Possible bets in a race can be 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4
I want to extract this number, so that I know how many points I need to place in the lay bet.
So, if we have 4 selections bet on a strategy, I place £1 back, at prices of 5, 10, 15, 20, I then place a lay bet of £4 on each of them, at odds of say 1.3. If we have 3 selections bet, then lay at £3, 2 selections £2, etc...
Is there a simple way to get the number of bets, in a particular strategy?
Hope all that makes sense?
Thanks
Mark.
