Displaying the winner

[fishtownraider]

I'm trying to display either Over 1.5 Goals or Under 1.5 Goals in Guardian in a column headed Winner but nothing appears. Can you see why? Thanks.

You can upload the .baf rulesfile here. Much easier for someone to find the issue that way.

Thanks. I can't get Profit to show up either.

You were missing a line that stores the selections' win statuses.

I havent tested this but it should work.

Many thanks, James; I'll try it out today. (Whatever Peter is paying you isn't enough )

Oh, here we go again. 'The rule is linked with the market Southwell 7th Feb - 19:00 1m3f Hcap. It may not work as expected blah blah blah.' Grrr; I don't even back horses!

This is the reason. When you set up the rulefile you attributed this action against a named selection rather than a transferable selection. You're instructing Bet Angel to apply the action to a selection called "Shafdar" which of course doesn't exist in any other market.

You need to use one of these instead:

Oh, right. I just imported the file and got the message when I tried to use it. (The selection box was blank, of course.) Should this populate the Winner column for all events it is applied to, or only those where the odds conditions trigger a lay?

Should store the winner for any market the rulesfile is applied to.

I've got Records Odds set to ANY selection and Winner to EVERY selection. Does that sound OK? (Not really sure what the difference is, tbh.)

ANY selection will trigger only on the first selection where time and conditional criteria are met.

EVERY selection will trigger on all selections where time and conditional criteria are met.

Right, so I'm guessing if I want to to show the Under/Over result for all events, I'll need to change all 3 SV rules to Under 0.5 Goals on the General tab.

Nope, this is where you are going wrong.

You need to apply rules to "Betfair row 1". Row 1 is always under 0.5 goals. eg Row 2 would be if you wanted over 0.5 goals, etc
