Take SP

[psilocybin]

How do I ensure that I take the SP when the market turns in play for every bet?

In excel you should enter in your trigger something like BACK-SP
In grid interface tick the keep SP option

Thanks for the reply Mac. I'm trying to place bets automatically. When I put a bet on via Excel but it doesn't get matched how can I be sure to get the bet placed at SP? If I tick "SP In Play" in the grd interface will that ensure that all bets in my excel file at least get matched at SP?

Submits a bet using keep bet 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.
Please note that 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.

example:
LAY-SP
would submit a lay bet which if not matched when the market turns 'in play' would not be cancelled and the odds converted to Betfair SP providing your liability is at least 10 GBP. Betfair adjust your stake so that the liability remains the same as when you intitially submitted the bet.

accordingly you can place BACK-SP

Hi,

It's as Mak suggested, you need to use the SP trigger modifier if submitting from Excel, e.g. BACK-SP

Ticking "SP in Play" from Betting Options has no effect on bets submitted via Excel.

Ah, the answer is simple, instead of using BACK or LAY, use BACK-SP or LAY-SP.

I didn't realise these triggers tried to match a bet before the off, I thought they were only useful when the market turned in-lay. Thanks guys!
