Automation for 2-0 at footy

[darren1963]

Hi guys, could someone advise if there is already an automation set up whereby I set it up for the home team to win say 2 - 0 but if they score the first goal I then lay it and take the profit? Thanks

So you just want to back the 2-0 CS and trade out after a home goal has been scored and if there is an away goal it will be a full loss?

[darren1963]

Hi Dallas, yes......I just want the bet to cash out as it were if the home team scored as clearly the odds would drop on it being 2-0...does that make sense?

There are a few ways to do it, the easiest is to use a 'Place back bet' rule applied to Betfair row index 9

Then a 'Close Trade on Selection with Greening' rule applied to Betfair row index 9
with the following conditions;

Time Since Unsuspended
is Greater than 65 secs

Historical Relative Odds
Selections back price
Now
Is Less than
Selections back Price
65 secs ago
minus 10 ticks

So basically the green up rule triggers if there has been a sudden drop in odds ie, there has been a home goal.

You could also use include a 'Fixed Odds' conditions applied to the nominated selection in Betfair row index 2
Selections Lay price
Is Greater than 50.0

Cheers mate...will have a look at that. Is that in the normal betangel or the guardian.

The automation file needs to be created in Guardian, there is a step by step guide here

Thanks Dallas, would there be any 'rules' set up already that I could download and amend?

[darren1963]

Sorry for all the questions, but lets say I wanted to do this manually, how would I ensure that I 'greened up' correctly. So, the bet is as an example a back bet of 11s for 2-0 and I put a pound on that...….the home team score and the lay has dropped then to say 5.5 so I then put 2 pounds on the lay.....so in other words I win either way. What do I need to do to ensure I 'green up' for the full amount and not have the green up across all the other scores? Hope that makes sense.

You just need to place a lay bet using the same stake as you back with, that will 'close the trade' and leave all profits on that selection.
Or you can disable greening and then click on the figure in the trade profit column or next to the scales icon and the software will select the stake required for you

Thanks Dallas ..appreciated

Hi Dallas, I must be doing something wrong. I used the 'take the profit' instructions as above and by way of example had a horse that was 7.6 backed to win.....I put a pound on it and then within a couple of minutes it had dropped to 7.0 so I layed it at this price and it was saying that Trade Profit was around 40 pence or something. The horse lost the race and then when I went in to check my bets, I was only given back my initial stake money and not the other 40p or so that I had traded. Why is that?

In your previous message you said you didn't want to spread the green up across all other selections.

So the instructions given where so you'd only profit if the selection you traded wins (but lose nothing if it doesn't)

[darren1963]

Hi Dallas, my apologies, maybe I didn't explain so well. If I back at say 10 and lay at 9 I want to close that trade and take the whole of the profit. I do not want to spread across the field. How can I do this please?

Thats what you've just done - but then said that wasn't what you wanted.

There are only two options
Close the trade and leave all the profit on that one selection and win/lose nothing if another selection wins
Green up and spread the profit across all selections and win the same no matter who wins

You can't keep all the profits on one selection but still make that profit if another wins

The thrid option would be to do a comibination where the profit isn't spread equally, instead most is left on one selection and a bit spread across the rest so you will win something no matter what

[darren1963]

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I thought there was a way to take the whole profit, but cleary not as I imagined. Thanks
