Hi,

I'm trying to get a rule to work that will only place a bet on 4th place if it's within 0.5 odds of the SP of the third place runner.

However, no matter what the SP is the rule fires regardless. I've tried allsorts but can't get the rule to only fire if the prices are close.

Can anyone help?

simon - ActualSP is related to the BSP starting price. Assuming you have the rule set to selection fave 4, then all you need to do is to change the ActualSP part to either be the back, lay or Ltp on both dropdowns for the comparison.

as it stands, you have a static comparison that never changes and may well fire everytime if the bsp of 4th place was (for example) 4.00 odds and 3rd place was 3.40 odds... etc

hang on, just looked closer at your logic. doh - my bad; just realised that you are comparing 4th pos odds to 3rd pos odds MINUS 0.5 odds.

For what you are intending, you should be comaparing the odds gap. therefore, it should be more like the below (which would fire if the odds gap between 4th and 3rd place was LESS than 0.5 odds):
