Simple trigger problem

Postby TheGoldenVision » Thu Sep 10, 2009 6:26 pm

Being very new to triggered betting here's a problem I have which others may well laugh at.... when an event turns in play I want to trigger a LAY bet based on certain criteria (minimum odds etc) however if the criteria isn't met as soon as the race is off I'd like to cancel the trigger. I don't want the trigger to fire half way through the race if the criteria are later met... I assume its a modified LAY command but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Here are a couple of examples.

=IF(AND($E$2="In Play",$F$2="",$A5<>"",RIGHT($A5,1)<>")"),"LAY-F5","")

Above Trigger checks for non runners and will after the market has turned in play fire a lay bet which if not matched in 5 seconds will be cancelled.

The Bet Reference cell now contains CANCELLED thus stopping further bets on that selection.

All the conditions enclosed in the AND statement must be true for the trigger to fire.

Add your new conditions separated by commas.

The next trigger example does all of the above but now will only fire if the lay odds are greater than 3 and less than or equal to 10.

=IF(AND($E$2="In Play",$F$2="",$A5<>"",RIGHT($A5,1)<>")",$H5>3,$H5<=10),"LAY-F5","")


Hope that's of some help.

:)


PS Do test your triggers extensively though before relying on them with real money :!:

Thanks for your help :D

I'll give them a thorough trial but the timed cancellation looks ideal. Thanks again

You are welcome - and just hope I am not wrong about the timed cancellation. 8)

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
