Back the lowest priced horse

[Emtaxx]

Hi all my brain is not braining tonight and I require some help. It’s as simple as follows…

What id like to do is back the lowest priced horse out of the whole market during in play intervals.

However I’m not sure how to do this.

Store a value -> best price of the selection every on the market?.

But then I need to create another stored value of that value to trigger a bet if it’s lowest back price out of the market.

Just not sure how I’d go around this

Thx

If you've got your 'Guardian Automation' favouritism sort to use 'Back price', and you haven't 'Fixed the order of the market selections’ in a preceding rule in that rules file, then you can just back the horse in position 1 in favouritism at your chosen interval.

Otherwise, you can update one of the Custom Rankings (ranked by back price), then back the Rank 1 horse from that Custom Ranking.

tbh I thought order of favouritism was a default setting where betfair just put the horses in an order with the best price before IP.

does that mean that I was wrong and the order of favouritism always changes ? Even in play?

I.e. in a 4 horse race the 4th runner with the highest odds at 10.00 became a Odds on at 2.00 now with the lowest odds out of the 4 horses he would now be the sorted as the favourite 1st in software?

I only ask as i may need to alter my code again and set it up where its fixed and doesn't change.

Order of favouritism is dynamic and based on latest market information at the last refresh
So yes if sorting by back price the favourite could change dozens of times especially while in-running

Unless as Tommyc mentioned you have fixed the order of market selections at an earlier time

Thanks for Confirming this Dallas. This may be a huge reason why my bots are doing interesting stuff then .... I'll take a look after work.

[Emtaxx]

So how do i Fix the horses to a nominated postion then ? I cannot see Fixed position on the 'applies to selection'

Okay I've found it now. However this get rid of the back option then.

Would you suggest I create it into a signal rule and then set a back bet off the signal so it fixes on the same runner?

[Emtaxx]

I have bout 30 rules to place back bets in my bot.

I've added a new rule above all of them firing unlimited x and refresh for
Fix the Order of the Market Selections.

It wont let me select this to every tho. so I've set it to any? It seems more complicated than it needs to be unless I'm missing something? Why cant fix just be on the drop down for applies to selection?

Any way not sure if i've done it correct and fixed it. I have 6 runners I want to focus on and I dont want them to swap between each other

You are over complicating it

'Fix order of market selections' is a rule type
It only needs to be trigger once at the time you wish to fix the order
https://www.betangel.com/user-guide/rule_types.html

It doesn't need to be applied to any selection as it will fix the order of all selections when it triggers
As it says next to it the applies to section is only applicable to conditions being used

[Emtaxx]

So I have set a rule seen on the picture to ' fix the order of the market' at every refresh unlimited rearms over ANY. starting at 0:05 to 8:00 Inplay

I have 54 back bots = 9 back bots per runner x 6 selections. These fire once they see a signal setup I've created. starting at 0:05 to 8:00

so for this 'So I have set a rule seen on the picture to ' fix the order of the market' at every refresh unlimited rearms over ANY. starting at 0:05 to 8:00 Inplay'

Have I set it up in the rules file correctly where it will fix all of the nominated runners or do I just need it to trigger once in the 0:05 to 8:00 and it will fix everything within that time frame?

Sorry to be a pain

[jamesedwards]

You only need to trigger it once.

"Fix the order of market selections" permanently fixes the order of favouritism until an "unfix the order of market selections" is triggered

[Emtaxx]

From a rules point of view. Does BA scan from top to bottom every refresh ? and keep repeating this process?

Yes, top to bottom for each cycle. You don't need to worry about the favourite changing during a single refresh if that's what you're getting at.
