Adding a rule/condition

[steevjp]

Hi

Ive a very basic rule that places a back bet on a chosen horse just before the race goes in play. The bet is kept in play and then a lay bet is placed once odds reach a certai level. (bit like dobbing i believe but not true dobbing as it isnt double or bust

it i wanted to create a rule or condition that says use full stake amount if the horse is less than x odds or half stake if over over y odds how would i implement that into the rule?

You'd use two back bet rule, one set with each stake
Then use fixed odds conditions on each of them to control which one triggers
https://www.betangel.com/user-guide/fixed_odds.html

Also on both rules add a 'Number of place bet triggers condition' is equal to 0
That will ensure only one will ever trigger a bet

thanks Dallas, ill take a look at that link now

OK, ive set the condition from that, but unsure about the other steps. for example under the back bet rule i cannot sdee way off telling if "stake x amount if odds are less than one of the conditions"

i got a mail recently asking me about my trial experience and im pretty sure there was a link on there to trying automation, ill give that a look for that to see if that can help me,

You need two back bet rules one for each stake you want to place

The 'fixed odds' conditions then control which one triggers (ie, depending what the price is) and the 'number of place bet triggers' condition prevents the other rule from triggering once one of them has fired the bet

Thanks, i think ive set that up correctly, ill run in practice mode

can I have 2 instances of BA running at the same time, one in practice, one in live?

Yes, you can have up to 10 instances of Bet Angel open at a time (this is a Betfair limit of 10 simultaneous connections per account)

trying my rule in practice mode and it isnt triggering

General rule (as a test i did it under position 3 sorted in order of favourtism
place back bet less than X odds
palce back bet greater than X odds
keep bet in place

Parameters, best market price, fixed amount for both back bets


conditions back price of selections in sorted position 3 less than a set of odds
conditions back price of selections in sorted position 3 morethan a set of odds
price bet triggers in the selection = 0
