Trap numbers and text comparison

[iggypop37]

Not really sure where to post this but here goes ...

I'm trying to get a bet to fire if the 2 favs are in adjacent traps eg 1-2 5-6 etc

I've got most of it it, but I can can only store the trap numbers as text, not as integers, which is making any comparison of the trap numbers very hard

IE I can only use 'store a value as text', as if I used 'store a value' it seems I can only use the Betfair ID for the dogs.

Can anyone advise please, I need to be able to extract, and store the trap numbers as integers.

In greyhound racing the Betfair row index corresponds the the trap number
so you could store the value of the selection in Betfair row 1 with an entered amount of 1

So set all runners using SVs with numbers accordingly?

Could I trouble you for a quick example of that as I can't quite visualise it ? Just for trap 1 a runner called doggy heaven for example ?

fantastic thank you so much

also related to this, if I wanted a bet rule to fire if there were runners in (all of) traps 1-5 or traps 2-6, you would set a signal if those traps (row in betfair index) had volume traded on them, and if so use conditions in a group to confirm if you see what I mean ?

tests the grey matter this stuff doesnt it ?!to append to the above you would need to use a text comparision condition in the signal dialogue to make sure that the dog number corresponded to the betfair row number - I think !?

Oh yes its all keeps the brain ticking over
And yes that is correct for your first paragraph, or you could set a signal on traps 1 or 6 if there is no selection/volume/price etc

For the second you could just use a Signal Set condition/s

yeah i think I have it sorted now thank you - looking for bet to fire only if 6 runners, or 5 runners in either 1-5 or 2-6 traps. With use of signal setting and text comparision condition to match runners with BF row numbers, it seems to be working.

Thanks again .

still getting a few problems on this where traps are missing . If you look at this example where T2 is vacant .. the allocation of SVs seem to stop

[iggypop37]

by contrast this is what happens when all 6 ARE present .

I think I might try to work around this be using signals rather than SV.

(we were allocating T1 had an SV of 1, T2 of 2 etc, etc)

Will this work.... the top of the rule the runner begins with 1 which will be Trap 1 and it`s either 1st or 2nd fave. The second part it begins with 2 which is Trap2 and that is also 1st or 2nd fave. Then copy for 2&3, 3&4, 4&5 and 5&6 being adjacent trap combinations

thanks ill give that a try . bit flummoxed otherwise.

using signals to then set SVs doesnt work either

The wheels look to come off when it`s just 5 runners. This is £2 Back bet just now in Prac Mode from 3m out.

I'm late to the party but if you could do (fav trap - 2nd fav trap) and the result was either 1 or - 1 then it would work in any situation? Better still abs ((fav trap - 2nd fav trap)) = 1
