Could you tell how that is done, is it not the Lay selection rule that has to be removed?
Sorry just noticed your post said 'first bet on the market is not a Lay bet'Copenhagen trader wrote: ↑Tue Mar 20, 2018 1:49 pmCould you tell how that is done, is it not the Lay selection rule that has to be removed?
It is the 'Lay selection' rule you need to remove if you want the back bet placing first
Hi,
Can somebody help explain the logic of this rule, I just cant get my head around it.
How does the servant know there's a gap? The condition says Selection A's lay price must be equal to selection b's back price plus 2 ticks but I can't follow the logic.
Sorry it this comes across as stupid but I'm trying to create a gap servant from scratch and like I said I just don't get the logic

Have a look at the image in the opening post, the lay price (1.72) is 2 ticks greater than the back price (1.70), so it will fill that gap with a betLeeds1919 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 4:59 pmHi,

If you wanted two ticks gap (ie to offer a back and lay bet at the front of the queue on both sides you'd use equal to plus 3 ticks in the condition

I get that part, but looking at the conditions I dont understand how the servant knows theres a gap in the first place.
If the lay price is equal to 2 ticks higher than the back price there has to be a 1 tick gapLeeds1919 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 5:19 pmHi Dallas,Dallas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 5:07 pmHave a look at the image in the opening post, the lay price (1.72) is 2 ticks greater than the back price (1.70), so it will fill that gap with a betLeeds1919 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 4:59 pmHi,

If they were touching the'd be no gap and the condition wouldn't be satisfied
Ok thanks for explaining Dallas think I hvae a handle on it nowDallas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 5:25 pmIf the lay price is equal to 2 ticks higher than the back price there has to be a 1 tick gapLeeds1919 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 5:19 pmHi Dallas,Dallas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 5:07 pm

Hi Dallas
many thanks for all this stuff that you add
how easy would it be to add a stop loss to this servant say 3 or 4 ticks, so it takes the loss and fires again, instead of the price just drifting well away?
cheers
Glad you are finding them useful
It would be very easy to make that change with this servant, just go onto the Parameters tab and change the 'Offset bet with greening' to 'offset bet with greening and stop' and set the number of ticks stop you want
