Is there a way to display the prematch odds (ie SP) of a tennis match for quick reference. It doesnt appeaar to show as it would in horse racing. Presume it is based around stored values, but not sure how to crteate it and then display it in the addirional info on the ladder.

Many thanks in anticipation

SP betting is only available on markets which Betfair offer it on

From memory they don't offer it on tennis markets but if they do it will only be the top tier matches like ATP/WTA 1000 and Grand slams etc

Thanks for quick response. Would a get round be to store the odds say 10 seconds after the match goes in play and then display it some how

You could save the current price just prior to the start time as an SV (Tennis has no BSP price on BF). The issue with tennis though is the starts are often delayed due to a previous match running over. So, the best way I've found to do it is to save the current price as an SV, per player, called "SP", every 30s, with a condition that the match status is not "in play". This way, the final SV update, once in-play, will be as close to SP as possible

I've often see matches stay suspended for a minute AFTER going in play, so your "10s after" idea may see your rule not being run. I use the above and it works well

For a start, I'd change the Rule Trigger Times to always armed, unlimited triggers, otherwise if the start is delayed your rule will stop running before the event goes in play. Then use Restricted Refresh in Guardian to set your start\end parameters i.e 1 hour before, x hours after. Personally, if its tennis I don't use restricted refresh for larger tourneys as the matches can often be played next day, especially if there's rain. I just load the markets again each morning, picking up the new start time

Ok, firstly, if you tick the box to show the saved SV value in the log, are you seeing the value saved every 30s ?
