If I add the Under / Over 1.5 goals market into Guardian and a watch list, is it possible to create an alert to show and sound if the game is 0-0 at half-time?
I know it will have to read the odds changes to do this where it compares them to the pre-match odds but it's beyond my capabilities right now to do so.
Thank you in advance.
Could someone advise a newbie

Current score can't be detected by Bet Angel directly so the best option is one of 2; use the Under/Over 0.5 Market as a guide, or use the Correct Score Market as a guide.
The Under/Over 0.5 will be closed once a goal is scored, and the Correct Score will have a 0-0 Lay price of 1000 if a goal has been scored.
I find it easier to just use the Under/Over 0.5 option.
One drawback is that if you have the Under/Over 1.5 markets loaded, you'll need the Under/Over 0.5 markets loaded too as they're the reference point so your 300-400 football fixtures on a Saturday or Sunday will become 600-800.
Another drawback is that the half time period is a pure guess based on 45 mins + injury time + 15 min break, but there could be a big injury break or floodlight failure that could cause a massive delay in the 1st half in Bet Angel In-Play time.
Basically the In-Play clock would keep on running for the 20 mins as some poor chap was being treated on the pitch for a broken leg, and as the rule triggers to check if it's 0-0 60 minutes after the event went in-play, there might still be 20 minutes to go until half time - Betfair doesn't stop for broken legs, in-play is in-play!! It's a rare occasion but one to be aware of.
If you want an audio alert, you'll need something saved in .wav format and direct the Parameter to that file for when it needs to trigger.
In the example I've attached, you'll need Under/Over 0.5 markets loaded, and import the file from wherever you downloaded it to.
Make sure you have filtered your games so you can Add All once they're filtered to the Over/Under 0.5 only.
You should now have a load of Under/Over 0.5 games when you Add All.
Then apply the Check and Alert 0-0 HT file to all
Now you should have a Guardian full of Under/Over 0.5 Markets, and you'll be inundated with alerts between 16.00 and 16.10 when all the Saturday 15.00 kickoffs reach half time

Great stuff, thank you. Taken that on board and can see the downside. I'll give it some more thought. I'm leaning towards favouriting the matches in Flashscore instead on a separate screen and just deleting the matches where a goal goes in. Half time is plenty long enough to load the 0-0 games into Betangel to put on the bets.
Thank you very much again.
