Horse Racing In-Running: Number of Place Bet Triggers

[lotora]

I use multiple rules to trigger bets, and to avoid placing more than one bet at a time, I prefer the Number of Place Bet Triggers Condition. However, before the off, a "random" number of bets have been triggered on each horse. It would be really helpful to store these numbers in Stored Values or reset the Number of Place Bet Triggers, but I can't figure out how to do this. Any advice?

I'm pretty sure that the 'Checkpoint matched bets' rule also resets this, so just trigger that once as the market goes in-play.

Let me know if that does or doesn't work

Thanks, Dallas! I'll give that a try!

Unfortunately, 'Checkpoint matched bets' didn’t reset it. That's why I posted this a month ago: viewtopic.php?t=29082

Since it didn't work, what's your solution?

Don't use it

Don't use it

You can store the number of matched bets on both a selection or the market then use that as a condition on your in-play rules
ie, if you want to place up to 6 bets in-play then on the rule above store the number of matched bets with an adjustment of plus 6

Then for your in-play bet condition you can use a Stored value condition to test the number of matched bets is less than (the stored value from above)
Or each time your rule places a bet you can increment that stored value so you'll effectively be counting the number of bets placed
Then use the same Stored Value condition to check its entered amount is less than (the stored value from above)

Perfect! That should work

As an intensive workaround you could create a stored value rule for every required number.

eg store value of 5 when 'number of place bet triggers condition' =5.
store value of 6 when 'number of place bet triggers condition' =6.
etc
etc

Or you could do the whole thing manually by incrementing a stored value every time you trigger a bet.

Thanks for your advice! Got it working perfectly.
