Hi Rade

Could you help in setting up a condition.

Once any tennis players (fav or non fav) odds have reduced by 50% from the start price then a lay bet will be fired in.

I have got bogged down in drifters settings and getting confused!

many thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,

At Selection conditions tab of your strategy you need to use:
1. Default bet type, to set Back or Lay bet type
2. Price change - steamer/drifter condition, to filter selection by price change
3. Back/Lay Ratio to ensure price is valid

If you want to bet on player whose price changes from 2.0 to 4.0 then use drifter setting.

If you want to bet on player whose price changes from 2.0 to 1.3 then use steamer setting.

At "Edit" form for your strategy set maximum number of bets per runner to 1 and maximum number of bets per market to 1, so that only 1 bet gets placed per match.

Make sure you test this in simulation mode to ensure it works like you want it to.

Regards,
Rade

Hi Andy,

Price change of 50% will only be satisfied during in play. By default strategies record prices before in play and then compare those with current prices to determine price change. Have you loaded markets before they went in play?

At strategy "Edit" form you have tab for recording of min/max prices. Check that and set it to start recording prices 10 minutes before start time and to stop 0 seconds before start time.

Regards,
Rade

Hi rade

Still cant get this to hang together. No bets on any match have gone in. If I have done it right then were should be at one bet per match.

This back/lay not selected report still comes up, so I am obviously doing something foolish :)
