Guardian calculation of 'custom % above/below best market price'

[jamesedwards]

Doing some work using these Guardian pricing options, and surprised to see the calculation used seems to be [price x %] rather than [(price - 1) x %].

Is this deliberate or an error? Would have thought [(price -1) x %] would be much more useful. Otherwise as prices get smaller the existing calculation produces more and more inappropriate results.

Both options were added, so the calculation can be done either way

But not in the parameters tab.

I see what you mean

You could still store it as a value then use the Stored Value from the Parameters tab


Another thing you could try is in your main settings and set it to
'Calculate percentage from price -1'

Although it says its for offset bets it may also work with all the options in the parameters tab which use the percentage - its not something I've tried but probably worth giving it a go

Thanks. I've gone down the stored values route, but it was a bit of a fag as I had loads of them to do. Sorted now.
