how do I take SP in automation
Since this thread was created there are now two ways of placing an SP bet
1) The original method, trigger a take SP bet rule and that will mark any unmatched bets in the market to be matched at the SP
2) The new method, is to actually place a back or lay SP bet, this works exactly the same way as placing it via the Betfair website, the bet doesn't appear in the market and goes into the SP pool of bets to be matched at the off - once placed it can't be cancelled or modified
With the second method it only needs to trigger once at whatever time you want it to be placed
With the first method it needs to trigger sometime after the last bet (including offset bet/s) are in the market unmatched for them to be marked as SP
So if your rule was triggering upto 10secs before the off and was placing offsets once matched then I'd set the Take SP bet rule to trigger from 5secs before the off up to 30-60secs after the start time, and have it trigger several times re-arming every couple of seconds just to make sure it catches any late offsets that might have been placed
Thank you for that. Sorted
Always grateful.
Just another question if t may.
If I put in 3 sp bets on 3 favorites (I can do that now).. But I need the 3 bets to go in only if the fav is 4,25 Is this possible. It does not natter what odds the 2nd and 3rd fav are.

You can place the 3 bets at SP if the fave is, say, greater than, or less than, 4.25 on the exchange at a point in time. You can also back the fave SP if it greater or less than 4.25. But you cant back 2nd and 3rd fave based on the SP of the first fave.casbian wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 12:44 amThank you for that. Sorted
