If you want to bet on the first selection in BetFair's list, no matter what its price is and whether it is a favourite or not, use the following trigger scheme:
Action: choose appropriate
Selections: All Matching Selections
Conditions:
Any Selection's Back Price is less than 1000
and Trigger Expression sel_index is equal to 1
The first condition here is superfluous, it is only needed because the "Selections" field contains the word "Matching". The second condition is what picks the first selection in the list, as sel_index returns its position.
If you want to bet on a group of selections, say the first 4, change the conditions to:
Any Selection's Back Price is less than 1000
and Trigger Expression sel_index is less than 5
To apply the trigger to the last 3 selections in the list, you would write:
Any Selection's Back Price is less than 1000
and Trigger Expression sel_index is between runner_number-4 and runner_number
