Hello, I am hoping to create an automation rules which allows the following on a market:
example - Place Back bet on Football market i.e Under 2.5 goal, with the intention of letting this run to close of play.
Place a second back bet on same market i.e Under 2.5 goals, and green up this bet only at a certain time or if / when a signal is triggered.
Is this possible in Guardian and would it be the 'Close trade on selection with greening' option but how would i define the selection without affecting the 1st back bet?
If i was to run two instances of BA for each bet would the greening up process green both bets?
Apologies if i'm missing something obvious here.
Thanks.
Guardian - Green 1 selection only on same market
If you have two under 2.5 goals bets on the same market placed via different instances of Bet Angel then greening in either instance will affect both bets.
This is because the bets are placed on the Betfair servers for your account and your account data is refreshed back into both instances of Bet Angel so the originating system of the bets is irrelevant. In the same way you could place a bet on the betfair app on your phone and Bet Angel would know about it if the market was in Guardian.
I think you can achieve what you are trying to do with an automation script though. Basically you would need to store the stake and the odds that each bet was placed at and then you would need to calculate the stake needed to partially green one of your bets at the current lay price when the signal is triggered.
If you placed a £1 back bet at 4.0 and the lay price drifted to 8.0 then you would calculate the green up stake as (4.0 / 8.0) * 1.00 = £0.50 and then lay 50p @ 8.0
If you placed a £1 back bet at 4.0 and the lay price shortened to 2.0 then you would calculate the green up stake as (4.0 / 2.0) * 1.00 = £2.00 and then lay £2 at 2.0
Probably worth someone double checking what I have posted here but I'm pretty sure that is correct.
