Keep In Play Modifiers
Use the following trigger modifiers to stop unmatched bets being cancelled when a market turns In Play:-
Modifier | Description | Notes |
IP | Submits a keep bet using Betfair's Bet Persistence, i.e. an unmatched bet will not be cancelled when the market turns 'In Play' providing it is a market that supports 'In Play' betting. | See Keep In Play for more details of this function. |
IPC | If the initial bet is matched prior to 'In Play' and the offset bet is still unmatched when the market turns 'In Play' then the offset bet will not be cancelled and likewise if your initial bet is matched the Stop Loss will be carried forward 'In Play'. However if the initial bet is unmatched at the time the market turns 'In Play' then the initial bet will be cancelled and therefore no offset bet will be submitted and/or Stop Loss also cancelled. |
This modifier is only to be used in conjunction with a Tick Offset modifier and/or Stop Loss modifier. |
IPX | Prevents bets being submitted 'In Play' | Also applies to a Tick Offset or Stop Loss that have been triggered before 'In Play' |
SP | Submits a bet using Betfair's Bet Persistence to take SP, i.e. an unmatched bet will not be cancelled when the market turns 'In Play' and the odds will be converted to Betfair SP odds. | If the bet does get converted to SP odds and is a lay bet then your initial bet must have a minimum liability of 10 GBP to be accepted by Betfair. |
SPC | If the initial bet is matched prior to 'In Play' and the offset bet is still unmatched when the market turns 'In Play' then the offset bet will not be cancelled and will be converted to Betfair SP odds. However if the initial bet is unmatched at the time the market turns 'In Play' then the initial bet will be cancelled and therefore no offset bet will be submitted and/or Stop Loss also cancelled. |
This modifier is only to be used in conjunction with a Tick Offset modifier and/or Stop Loss modifier. If your offset bet does get converted to SP odds and is going to be a lay bet then it needs to have an initial minimum liability of 10 GBP for it to be accepted by Betfair. |
