Triggers for learning / Backing on the dog with the greatest volume at X minutes before the race
« Last post by Oxa (WellDoneSoft) on 13 Jul 2022, 15:22 »This is yet another Trigger in Action inspired by a BFStats report. The idea came to me a few months ago when I noticed a downtrend in the last traded price of a dog with the greatest matched volume.
Backing on the dog with the greatest volume at X minutes before the race
I wanted to find out how likely it is that, if a back on a greyhound with the maximum matched volume, its price will steadily decline in the last few minutes before the off, allowing enough margin to green it up to an equal profit.
This testing session had two strategy pivots along the line, so let me give you the breakdown of all three strategies tested. You will find the triggers implementing all three strategies down the next section.
Strategy 1
Back on the dog with the greatest matched volume percentage at 3 minutes before the start of the race. Trade it out with a lay bet at exactly the scheduled start time of the race.
Strategy 2a
Back on the dog with the greatest matched volume percentage at 2 minutes before the start of the race. Leave the bet there no matter where the price goes.
Strategy 2b
Using Market Locator, filter out markets with a predefined list of distances, as selected using the BFStats report. Back on the dog with the greatest matched volume percentage at 2 minutes before the start of the race. Leave the bet there no matter where the price goes.
Testing period
17 days, from 07/06/2022 to 24/06/2922

« Last post by pcal72 on 13 Jul 2022, 14:22 »Olá a todos
Passaram-se já uns longos meses desde o meu ultimo post ou atividade.
Na realidade já passou quase um ano!!
Finalmente posso dizer a todos que voltei para ajudar, colaborar, partilhar e aprender também com todos vocês em comunidade.
Espero que na minha ausência tenham tido excelentes experiencias.
Algumas coisas mudaram na minha vida e por isso a minha disponibilidade não será a mesma, mas quero que saibam que estarei por cá para colaborar com todos.
Forte abraço a todos e boas apostas!

Triggered betting / Re: Trainer trigger format
« Last post by MarkV on 12 Jul 2022, 19:19 »Hi rubold
selections trigger expression FIND("Easterby", "silk_trainer") is greater than 0
and selections trigger expression FIND("Easterby", "silk_jockey") is greater than 0
will work
but as shakeshuck points out, I had a look at flatstats T/J combinations:
T D Easterby trainer has had same surname jockeys: Miss E Easterby, Mr W Easterby
so it's not conclusive
selections trigger expression FIND("Easterby", "silk_trainer") is greater than 0
and selections trigger expression FIND("Easterby", "silk_jockey") is greater than 0
will work

Wow Mark, so can that expression find the trainer surname and the jockey surname and thus determine if they are the same. I put in an official trigger request for this about a year ago, but was told it couldn't be done.
One small problem I forsee with this is on those occasions (like with Mr Easterby) when there are multiple trainers with the same surname; it is possible of course that if they are from the same family this may not affect your strategy.

« Last post by rubold on 12 Jul 2022, 15:04 »Hi If you are manually looking for trainer names spelling as per Betfair API, put MFP in Full Mode or Race Mode and read the trainer name from the silks data. A trigger could also write this data to a text file for future reference. Variations I've seen on example trainer: Tim Easterby, TD Easterby, Timothy D Easterby etc... my suggestion here would be to use the FIND function on the surname only: FIND("Easterby", "silk_trainer") is greater than 0

Triggered betting / Small bets
« Last post by shakeshuck on 12 Jul 2022, 11:49 »Had a glitch yesterday (only in test mode!). I had a small bet to go on (a lay), but it looks as though the lay part didn't get taken and the back bet did. Is there a way to stop this happening in future? If I use lay_price2 will the corresponding back bet still be put on correctly?
