So here I am after hours of trying different things to achieve my goal with no SUCCESS
This is what I am trying to achieve, to lay a horse in-play when the odds reach 25. I have fired betangel and gives the command but the bet just does not fill and nothing happens!!!
This is driving me nuts and I am really disappointed for I am losing time with this software instead of making money.
On guardian:
lay bet-relative to inplay time-allow trigger to go 1 time/ applies to selection in row 3
PARAMETER: fixed price at 25 (odd
CONDITIOM: market is in play-fixed odd condition the selection lay price is greater then 18.

what am i missing?

Others might chip in with this . you need to set your in play times for the duration of the race , but if its still not firing its probably because the horse is losing the price will probably jump from low to very high in a split second missing out your trigger


its a crazy idea anyway , even if you get matched for 2 or 3 races someone sooner or later will see you getting matched at 25 or whatever then the next race they'll enter a back on the likely winners at 25s triggering your bet netting them £50 and you screaming at the monitor. :evil:

anyone else agree.

If you look at todays Ascot results on http://form.horseracing.betfair.com/hor ... cot-GB-Asc
You will see in running, the winners traded at 55,25,2.5,26,25,8.4
It would have been a bad day at the office if you got it to work!

Good luck with your method, but if your strategy is simply to blindly lay horses when they reach 25.0 in play, then long term you will get taken to the cleaners IMHO. :) Frequently you get horses drifting and drifting in-play, and then the jockey will push the pedal to the floor and the horse will go on to win!

Im pretty sure if i asked for 25s on a horse that was trading below 1.20 it would go unmatched , unless this rule was there waiting for a price which would then trigger and get me matched. in theory if a horse is 25s half a furlong out it should lose, but in the real world there are a lot of false prices thrown up in running , and even if you used last traded price someone else could make a mistake aswell also triggering the bet , in world where 1.01s get turned over and 660s fly in . any inplay strategy needs to be 100%. unless your like Kieron dyer in a casino and like to literally burn money.

I second what Jeff said. I'm sure Jeff you remember me tipping 'Power' in the irish 200 guiness. 'Power' drifted like a barge pole pre-race, then drifted like a monster in-play. i backed it at 60 in the last 200m, no doubt some layer was rubbing his hands with glee. But no-one beats the mighty Zenyatta in-play. i shudder to think of the expression on that poor layers face when this happened:

Remember, no one beats Zenyatta in-play. Not Webb, not Heathcote. No one :D

Yes, 'Blue Bunting' was another Zenyatta special, hit 60 in-play last 200 yards, 'Irish Oaks' last year, watch it held up and coming home like an express train:

Great horse, a favourite of mine for sure, it's retired to stud now.

P.S I will personally wipe the floor with anyone on this forum in-play :)

I don't just back at big odds, I can also make markets.

Here is a re-post of my tip for today:

----
3.45, Royal Ascot, 'Homecoming Queen', Back-to-lay, 100 ticks, take any price over 4.0 pre-race and keep in-play.

The horse is very classy, it only flopped last time out because it didn't get the ground it wanted. The track at Royal Ascot is now on the softer side, perfect for 'Homecoming Queen' on this occasion. The horse is also a front runner, you want to take the price on this one, and look to get out somewhere between 1.60-1.90, once it's booted out to a reasonable lead and still (hopefully) challenging to win in the home straight. 100 ticks easy.
----

Good luck if you're playing.
