Laying in Half Time and backing in Half Time/Full Time

Description

Here is one of the implementations of football arbitrages whereby you lay in one market and back in another, hoping to secure profit in a number of possible outcomes. It does not guarantee winnings, but it has its advantages.

You start by laying one of the teams in the Half Time market (for the team to lead at the end of half time). Immediately after that you place a back bet on this team to win both the Half Time and the Full Time in the corresponding "Half Time/Full Time" market. The sizes of the bets are calculated so that you get guaranteed profit in the following situations:

However you will lose both stakes if the chosen team leads at the end of half time, but then draws or loses the game (which happens quite often to be honest). So consider those risks.

You can adjust the following settings using constants:

ht_price Maximum price for the LAY bet
teamidx The index of the team to bet on, 1 (for the Home team) or 2 (for the Away team)
bet_size The size of the lay bet

Be sure to add both markets for each football game (use Market Locator to make it automatic).

These triggers demonstrate how to connect two markets of the same football event using prefixes.
