Examples 16-20
Example 16. I wish to lay the favourite in the place market (horse racing) and occasionally the 2nd and 3rd fav also 2 min before the race at a liabilty of £100 for each selection.
Since you want to place bets 2 min before the race, you need to edit a setting named "Allow triggering/offset no sooner than ... min before the event's start" in the "Trigger Options". Set it to "2"
Then add the following trigger that will make MarketFeeder Pro automatically calculate how much you need to lay based on the current price:
Cell: "1"
Condition: "is equal to"
Trigger Value: "1"
Action: "lay"
Price: "lay_price"
Amount: "=100/(lay_price-1)"
Market: select market from the drop-down list OR "All Currently Monitored"
Selection: either "Winner" or "Second Winner" or "Third Winner"
Active: "once each market"
Since there is no specific condition for the bet, we use "Cell", "Condition" and "Trigger Value" columns to set up a "fake" condition that is always true. Thus this trigger will be executed the moment you press "Save Changes" button. What matters here is the "Amount" column which is computed based on the current lay price of the selection. We use a pre-defined variable lay_price here.
Example 17. If in a market the backing price of the fourth winner is higher than 15 and the price for the third winner is lower than 8, I want to place a dutch bet in favour of the first three runners so that the total bets wouldn't exceed 20 EUR.
Use the first trigger to check the conditions
Trigger 1, row 5
Cell: "Fourth Winner Back Price"
Condition: "is greater than"
Trigger Value: "15"
Action: "react on price"
Price: "=IF(back_price<8.0, 2, 0)"
Amount: doesn't matter, leave blank
Market: select market
Selection: "Third Winner"
Active: "once each market"
Use one trigger for each of the three selections to place bets:
Trigger 2
Cell: "Triggers Worked Out"
Condition: "is equal to"
Trigger Value: "5"
Action: "back"
Price: "back_price"
Amount: "=20/back_price"
Market: the same
Selection: "Winner"
Active: "once each market"
Trigger 3
Cell: "Triggers Worked Out"
Condition: "is equal to"
Trigger Value: "5"
Action: "back"
Price: "back_price"
Amount: "=20/back_price"
Market: the same
Selection: "Second Winner"
Active: "once each market"
Trigger 4
Cell: "Triggers Worked Out"
Condition: "is equal to"
Trigger Value: "5"
Action: "back"
Price: "back_price"
Amount: "=20/back_price"
Market: the same
Selection: "Third Winner"
Active: "once each market"
Example 18. I want to place a back bet in-running once on any selection that's back price hits 1.20 for £10 at a specific course and only place this bet if the next priced horse is 3.0 or higher, then if possible lay all other horses between 3.0 and 25.0 for a maximum liability on these lay bets of £100.
First of all, we will be using formulas with trigger variables. They may result in invalid values so we need to make MarketFeeder Pro to repeat the attempt. So set "Maximum attempts on failure" in "Trigger Options" to "-1" for endless attempts.
Trigger 1, row 5
Cell: "Second Winner Back Price"
Condition: "is equal or greater than"
Trigger Value: "3.0"
Action: "back"
Price: "best"
Amount: "=IF(back_price<=1.2, 10, 0)"
Market: select market from the drop-down list
Selection: "Winner"
Active: "once in-play & wait"
Trigger 2
Cell: "Triggers Worked Out"
Condition: "is equal to"
Trigger Value: "5"
Action: "lay"
Price: "IF(AND(lay_price>3.0, lay_price<25), lay_price, 0)"
Amount: "100/(lay_price-1)"
Market: the same market
Selection: "All Except Winner"
Active: "once in-play & wait"
The first trigger will be executed when the second winner is priced >= 3.0 AND the winner is priced <=1.2. As you can see from the "Selection" column the bet will be placed on the Winner.
The second trigger will depend on the first one and as soon as it has worked out, lay bets will be placed on all runners except the winner, whose prices are in the range of 3.0 and 25. The expression in the "Amount" column will calculate the necessary bet size that will set the liability of each bet to £100.
Example 19. How do I back 10 GBP on a winner, at the best price available if I only want to do this when it's at least 30 sec after the off, and the winner's price is less than 1.5?
First, set "Max attempts on failure" setting to "-1" - on the "Trigger Options" tab.
Then set up the following trigger:
Cell: "Minutes Since the Off"
Condition: "is equal or greater than"
Trigger Value: "0.5"
Action: "back"
Price: "best"
Amount: "=IF(back_price<1.5, 10, 0)"
Market: select from the drop-down list
Selection: Winner
Active: "once each market"
We used the IF function in the "Amount" column to make an additional condition on the winner's current price. Since "Max attempts on failure" is set to "-1" MF Pro will keep trying to watch this condition until it comes true or event has finished.
Example 20. To back £20 on all selections with market % less than 10 at 2 minutes before the "off".
Set "Max attempts on failure" setting to "-1" - on the "Trigger Options" tab.
There are several ways to condition the trigger to be executed 2 minutes before the off. The first one is to set "Allow triggering/offset no sooner than ... min before the event's start" on the "Trigger Options" tab. If you can use this option, then type "2" in there and set up this trigger:
Cell: "1"
Condition: "is equal to"
Trigger Value: "1"
Action: "back"
Price: "best"
Amount: "=IF(volume<10, 20, 0)"
Market: select from the drop-down list
Selection: All Selections
Active: "once each market"
The condition is fake and always is true, but the trigger won't work until it's 2 mins before the off. The "Amount" field contains an IF function that calculates a pre-defined trigger variable volume. This variable contains the volume percentage of a selection in %.
If you for some reason cannot use "Allow triggering/offset no sooner than" option (for example if you want other triggers to start earlier than 2 mins before the off) then you must change Cell, Condition and Trigger Value columns:
Cell: "Current Time"
Condition: "is equal or greater than"
Trigger Value: "18:28"
We're assuming here that the event starts at 18:30.
