cancel InPlay bets

[marin71]

Hi,

is there an easy way to cancel InPlay bets after a specific period of time?
For example I place InPlay bets and after the event goes inplay I want to cancel all not matched bets after 60 seconds?

Hi,

How are you placing the bet, manually via Betting Assistant or via the Excel triggered betting?

Hi Mark,

I am placing via Excel trigger.

Use LAY-F60 (or BACK-F60) instead of LAY (or BACK), marin71. Cancels the bet after 60 seconds if not matched.

Please be aware using the above method the bet will be cancelled if not matched 60 seconds after the bet has been placed, not 60 seconds from when the market turns in play so you will have to make sure this trigger is fired just after the market turns in play.

Hi Mark and Gary,

would it possible to add such an Excel trigger into one of the next versions?

See this thread for some code written by Gary for an in-play timer.

Hi Mak and Duncan,

thanks for pointing me to the thread from Gary.
Changed my code and hopefully can test it with tomorrow's racing.

But wouldn't such a trigger not a good idea to implement it into BA?

It's already there and known as 'fill or kill', you can add modifiers to your BACK or LAY in the following order

Tick Offset - Fill or Kill - Stop Loss - Keep in Play

Hi marin71

I am a little puzzled - why 60 seconds?

is there an easy way to cancel InPlay bets after a specific period of time?
For example I place InPlay bets and after the event goes inplay I want to cancel all not matched bets after 60 seconds?

What if the race is only 5f(late) or 3.2mls(premature)?

Surely the best bet is to cancel after a certain percentage of the race/event is over?

All the best - Michael
