fix market order but in play

[pete15]

ive asked before about fixing market order but i keep getting it wrong somehow , the problem i have is i have multiple triggers on the 3rd and 5th favourites by position in betting order in play , now i have unmatched bets equal to none so i want all bets matched before it triggers again ( i have re arm at 3 seconds to get round in play delay) so sometimes i lay the 5th favourite and the it goes down in betting and is the 3rd fav so it fires again so i get lop sided , would i have to fix order every second in play or is there a easier way so stop it firing when already 1 unmatched bet and the betting order moves around, hope this makes sense .

If you fix the order at the off then this will remember the order as they are then from that moment on so no matter what the odds change to IR the same horse will always be 3rd fav and the same one will always be 5th fav for duration of the race. Is this what your trying to achive?
Or are you wanting to lay which ever is 3rd & 5th fav (by odds) at specific moments in the race meaning several runners could of been 3rd as well at 5th fav at some point during IR?

You dont need to use "Fix market order" you need 2 x lay rule types
On the general tab
1st would be Applies to selection "By poisition (sorted in order of favourtism) 3
2nd would be Applies to selection "By poisition (sorted in order of favourtism) 5

That will lay which ever horse is in 3rd and 5th at the moment your other conditions are met.

Your unmatched bets condition will now ensure that even if a bet is triggered on a horse when in 3rd and it moves to 5th before being matched it wont re-trigger

You might also want to include a matched bets condition if you want to limit the total number of bets that can be placed on any one selection

cheers for help , could i add matched bets amount condition in any way to help???

Yes if you can use it as a extra fail safe either with or instead of the matched bets condition,

ie, If you only wanted to lay each selection once then set it so that
lay bets are equal to following fixed amount £0

[pete15]

cheers,

but is there a extra fail safe that i can add if i want to enter multiple times ?

cheers pete

Depends on exactly how many times you where laying each runner, is there a max amount or could this change race to race and are these straight lays or are they being offset?

[pete15]

keeps going if conditions are met then when price moves away stops , but it offesets all bets

With triggering upto a unknown amount of matched bets the "Matched bets Amount condition" is the best one to use

If using £10 lay stakes setting this condition to only trigger the lay if the amount of lay bets matched on selection is less than £9.99 of the back bets

Then once a lay is matched another cant be placed till its offset, once it is offset and greened ie for £8.75 that means there is still £1.25 more in lay bets been matched but this is now under your £9.99 limit again so a 2nd lay can be triggered and so on
