Automation - recording the stake, liability and odds of a lay bet

[Drhouse31]

Hi all,

I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

When placing a lay bet via automation, I want to store the stake, liability, and odds of that bet as stored values for the selection. I’ve tried using the “Matched Bet Information of a Selection” option in my lay bet rule, but I’m not sure if that actually gives me the correct values.

Is there a straightforward way to capture these values that I might be overlooking? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

The problem is likely due to Bet Angel moving quicker than the bet landing in the exchange. It takes about 0.1 seconds for the Betfair to manage your request and report the info back to Bet Angel. And if youre betting in-play then you need to add the relevant market delay too.

Try adding a gap to the value of betting delay + 0.2 sec between the bet trigger and the value storing.

Try adding these two lines to your rulefile. This should store the info your require for every new matched bet as soon as Bet Angel registered it's matched status. You might have to fiddle with the refresh rates and the condition timings depending on how fast your market is refreshing.

Thanks for the assistance. That must be why I was previously getting strange results.

What I've done now is used a signal to indicate once the lay bet is placed. The condition will now only fire once that signal has flagged, and it seems to be reflecting the correct information now.

Thanks so much for your help.
