Hi,

When storing a value of 'back odds' for a selection that has no money available what value does betangel assign to this stored value?

Same question for storing a value of 'lay odds' where the selection has no money available. What value does it assign here?

Thanks for any guidance.

It stores it as 0

To check for yourself, store it to log and check the log.

Thanks. It appears to be stored at 1.01 not 0. Never realised you could check the stored values on logs. Thanks all working now! :)

Are you sure you checked a market with no money available?

Yeah it comes up with "0" for money available and "1.01" for odds in the log.

I get it now. I had "round to nearest valid price" box checked so it did register "0" but stored the value as 1.01 as this is the nearest valid price.
