1st TRIGGER

[BERTRAND]

I have been testing a lay trigger in a spare column.
I have set up an inplay elapsed timer which is linked to the trigger.
My odds column is populated with SP+8% odds.
Also the trigger will return FALSE if the odds in column "H"(LAY1) exceed a specified figure.
My question is what happens if the trigger initially fires but my bet goes unmatched and during this "unmatched period" the trigger goes FALSE and then TRUE again? This happens because of the column H reference. Will the initial request remain or will there be multiple requests?
I have just used a straight LAY trigger.

Multiple triggers cannot fire unless column T (bet ref) is blank. Once the initial lay bet is placed it will put the bet ref in column T. Whether the bet is matched or unmatched the bet ref will remain there unless you blank it using the CLEAR trigger or VBA code. If you are not doing anything to blank column T then you will not get multiple bets.

Thanks Gary
Understood.

My odds column populated with SP. Will I still get Betfairs best odds? I mean to say-- if my selection is SP15 and odds are 10 when the trigger fires I will get the 10.

Yes, Betfair's best execution still applies.
