Can't use percentage as a condition with regard to BFSP?

[bests3lleruk]

Why is it under 'parameters' you can easily stipulate placing a bet a percentage under or over the actual SP, yet when you go into conditions, you can't do it? For example if I want a condition to be that the favourite is a certain percentage less than the second favourite, why can't I stipulate that by a percentage?

If you choose 'relative odds condition', you can say the actual SP of the selection in position 1 (sorted by favouritism) is less than the actual SP in position two (sorted in order of favouritism) minus or plus but it doesn't allow a percentage there, only ticks, or odds, which are no use to me. So the only way I have found to do it is use historic relative odds condition, then you can choose position 1 in order of favouritism vs position 2 in order of favouritism but you can't use actual SP there so you have to use 'last traded price' - then it allows percent, odds, tick or amount or percent using minus 1.0. The problem is this isn't the same as the SP. Why can't I do it with the SP?

Please help someone.
Many thanks

You can find the % variance using custom ranking and a stored value then test that SV against the required condition.

Okay I have had some difficulty with this, but I entered the stored value exactly as you showed, and then I updated custom ranking to in order of SP ascending. Then I went into conditions and I couldn't see the SP var% stored value I'd created so I entered the name manually under stored value name. Then I put the amount as 0.70 as I want the fav to be 30%+ lower than the second fav, is this right?

Sounds good. Recommend you try these things in practice mode so you can learn and try things out without fear of mistakes.

If you want the SP as % then you can do this >
