"GREEN" function

[Rastis]

Hi Folks,

I've just started dabbling with the Excel automation possibilities of BA. My first test was an initial lay bet (in Match Odds market) with a trigger set to place a Back bet to green up when a goal is scored.

I used the IF function (IE, if odds of 0-0 go above 100 then GREEN).

However, when the back bet triggered it was placed at 1000 in Match Odds market.

Any thoughts on where I went wrong?

Cheers

I'm assuming you laid 0-0?

If so, why 'green up' anyway?
Your lay bet is a winner

If a goal has been scored though, the price will become 1000, so it kind of buggers up what you're doing. It's best to trial the spreadsheets with different examples to that

Cheers LeTiss,

Mate, no - I laid the underdog in the Match Odds market with the plan of greening that market by using 0-0 odds as the trigger.

Probably because the required stake was below the minimum. If this happens when greening then Bet Angel has to place a bet of at least the minimum at the largest price possible to avoid being matched (1000) before adjusting to the required stake.

If it is already trading at this price you will just get matched before it has a chance to adjust the stake.

Cheers TT!

That explains it perfectly.
