Hi guys,

I notice that the log for betangel shows the Back bids being placed and matched. (Great!)

However, the LAY bids only show the placement details not the matched details (in my logs anyway)

Is there anyway of displaying when the LAY bet was matched in the log details?

Cheers

Bob

I think you'd have to force it by creating a stored value when the bet is matched and checking the tick box that saves it to log.

Thanks for your help James - again. It has been invaluable.

I am venturing further into Stored Values and have achieved partial success in loading details to the log. I am sharing an excerpt of the log for your info below.

The stored values seem to sit above the triggered action. The matched and unmatched data sit first and above as soon as the back bet is triggered. (Eg Ref ..... 623 was the back bet. which was matched.
The lay bet ( Ref ...435) was placed but was unmatched.

The stored values enter the log above on the next trigger (Ref ...879).

Not perfect - but getting there as I do live testing using low value ($2) bets - in preparation for the BIG BUCKS coming soon.

Your help has enabled me to track the change in lay bet data.

Many thanks - once again.

Bob

The log shows you what action Bet Angel performed and what happen.

So it a bet is unmatched when it reaches the market, Bet Angel will show that, but not when it was matched.

This is because Bet Angel would have to actively monitor and log unmatched bets when matched. It's better to get it to do other things in the market than check if something has been matched. But you can create automation to do this.
