• Historical Results - where can you find them?
  Hi All, Does anyone know where you can get historical data of races that have happened in the past couple of years? Specifically I am interested in the UK Greyhound and UK All Weather Horse races. This is the information I am looking for on each runner: date / time / course / Betfair Starting Price (Win Odds) / Betfair Starting Price (Place Odds) / Betfair Starting (Lay Odds) / Betfair Starting Price (Lay Odds) / Result (what position did each Horse or Dog finish) So far I have been able to copy a screen shot from Timeform (horses only) into and Excel document. From there I have to reformat the data using Text To Columns on a day-by-day basis. However, this is quite time-consuming as you can imagine! If anyone knows of a good, reliable resource - paid for or free - please do let me know as copy and pasting is excel is driving me insane! thanks all round J

• Get the amount offered for any price
  Hi, It would be really nice if we could have a variable that retrieves the amount offered for any given price, not just the 3 best offered. You can see it in the ladder mode so I wouldn't of thought it would be impossible? Maybe something like the traded_{price} variable but that can be used without having the ladder open. Thanks, Whitey

• Start betting after a number of losses of one selection [TCKTSTL-658169]
  Copied from a support request: QuoteCan you set number of losses ( for asianhandicap) or number of under  in row to be optional e.g. you can set X losses in row then start betting. See attachment.   Let say for over under I need to wait 5 under in row and then put  some  money  10$ on 6th game to be over ...if 6th one is under then 7th has  to go  20$ on over and so till over happens.  Same thing for asianhandicap but wait for 5 lose the 6th game go for  win  and so on. Each group is in same position in that worksheet.   How much is to set this kind of bot , I would come with more details about this setting but should not be complicated it is more about timing.

• unequal profit conditional trigger [TCKT16062013UPR]
  Hi, This request may not be possible to program. I have been experimenting with the unequal-profit trigger and one way to improve the performance is to try to predict which favs are more likely to win and which races are poor for favs. With this in mind it would be nice to have two choices of distributing profit. a)  all the profit on Fav eg: constant  pr_profit Profit of the selection to bet on, in % 50 b)  all the profit on non favs               pr_profit profit of the selection to bet on  1 What I would like to achieve is to have both in the one set of triggers and respond to my conditions. As an example if fav is odds on use (a) otherwise use (b) Maybe not achievable but thought I'd ask anyway Thanks R

• Bet and Cancel Multiple Times
  Hi there, I just want to place a lay bet initially, let's say at 5.0. If the price goes higher by a number of ticks (for instance 3) I want to cancel the bet and place a new bet (i.e cancel the lay@5.0 and lay again at 5.3). I have managed to do so but the cancel and place bet operation works only once. If the price keeps increasing to let's say 5.6 I want to cancel again and lay again higher. Any idea on this? Thanks for your help in advance. Kind regards, Kostas

• Australian residents betting in play
  Hi, As the current Australian law stands, betting in-play online on sporting events is against the law with the sole exception of horse racing. With this in mind my question is, can Australian residents bet in-play online on UK, SA and US horse racing ? Phone betting is allowed on all the above, but this is not trigger friendly Thanks if you can contribute some insight, as I was planning to move back there but not keen with all those restrictions in place.

• Betting on a related market [TCKT25052013LMR]
  Hi I wanted to make some bets on tennis set betting market on a player to win n-0 (n=2 or 3) if their win market odds are in a certain range.  Eventually I would plan to have a series of conditions for players depending on their win odds.  Obviously these conditions would have to vary for whether it was a 3 or 5 set match but I wont worry about that now. At present the attached just tries to remember players if they fit certain win odds criteria and then bet on them in the win market if they do.  An example is Dodig v Pelia where Dodig odds are around 1.65.   So how do I tweak what ive got or add a condition that instead goes on the set betting market and backs Dodig to win 2-0 at 2.5, whenever his win odds are in the range I defined?  (1.6-1. From what I have read then I suspect I perhaps need to use things like ‘Selections name contains “2-0” ‘ and possibly something related to market_parent_id but another problem I face is that the player name is listed full name in win market but normally just the surname in setbetting (eg. Ivan Dodig in win but Dodig 3-0 in set betting; although there are exceptions like A Beck 3-0 because there are two Becks).  I could work around this with mid and find functions in excel but not sure about what to do on MFP? Finally, from viewing user variables then sel_name always seems to take on the first value listed in a given market but PlayerName often takes on a different value.  Eg. Dodig v Pelia set betting then sel_name=Dodig3 but PlayerName=Pelia1. Can you explain why this is? Many thanks

• Linking win and place - some questions [TCKT22052013WP]
  Hi I have been trying for some time to work out how the Place betting and Win betting links work, using the likes of winplace, sel_id and “remember”.   The attached triggers have been a bit of a trial for me in a few areas.  Can someone please answer my questions to try to help me with my understanding and progress ?: FIRSTLY, PlaceMktsTest.mft In the 1550 Southwell, the 7th fave (at least as I write) is Son Vida but the 7th fave in the place mkt is a different horse (SpiritofXaar), and Son Vida is 8th favorite in Place Mkt (note: if you want to run it, you will probably have to tweak the parameters to find races and horses with different ranks in the 2 markets, as the odds for races are obviously changing rapidly at this time of day with low liquidity.  2030 Kempton is a good one to try) 1)   I first set some user variables to view them through the program and try to understand how they work.   i)   Having read the manual I thought sel_order could be the rank of the horse in the relevant market (win or place) but both SelOrderWin and SelOrderPlace show the ChosenHorse figure (eg. 7) throughout the time the trigger block is running (I hoped for 7 and ? ii)   Sometimes the SelNamewin shows Son Vida which is what I want as it is the ChosenHorse (7th win fave) and SelNamePlace shows Xaar (as I hoped).   However sometimes the two are switched around (sometimes just late in the program), ie. 7th fave win horse shows as SelNamePlace and 7th fave place horse is shown as SelNamewin.   I am getting very confused so please advise!   2)   In the final trigger, I wanted it to remember SelNameWin (the 7th win mkt favorite) and back that horse (name) in the Place Market.  No doubt ive got many of the settings, syntax or conditions wrong as at present it is backing everything on the place market, or sometimes nothing?? I did wonder if the “Selection’s sorting order is defined by back price” might help me somewhere so trialled putting that in one place too, but couldn’t notice any difference it made or if it was relevant. SECONDLY, PlaceMktstest2.mft 3) There is a simple condition based on win and place ranks in the initial win market back.   Is it possible to improve my conditions (towards what id actually want) by writing code that represents similar things to: - If place rank of a top 3 faves Win odds horse is outside the top 3 place rankings? - if place rank of a horse is 2 or more greater than its win rank?  E.g. for 5th win fave would check to see if it was 7+ favourite in place market?   I hoped sel_order would do this kind of thing but as i wrote in 1) then it doesnt seem to? 4) When i view sel_id and sel_name in the View User Variables box then they only seem to take on the value of the favourite?  Why is this, as i expected them to show the second favourite and other horses too? The trigger block then goes on to try to "remember" the second favourite if there are any win bets placed on it , and then to place some place bets if so.  It largely seems to work 5) Is there a neater way to remember 4th and 5th favorites on win market's sel_ids, or do i need to have two remember statements as i currently have? 6) Is there a way of referring to / betting on the place market on 7th,8th favorite etc in a 12 runner race, as the way ive done it then can only name up to 5th fave or 3rd worst fave? Many thanks limrick

• HELP NEEDED - Info on how to re-set win/loss moving forward [TCKT13062013MVN]
  Hi Guys, I hope I have something challenging for you this time.   I have tried everything I know and still just can't make the trigger do what I want completely, maybe this is not possible.   If it is possible could you please attach a version of this trigger block with any extra info I might need / e.g. constants. I need a solution that you know for sure will work, as it will need to work on a live betting setup as I cannot use on test mode due to I need live balances plus I delete markets as they finish. Obviously very small bets can be used though. This is what I need that I just can't seem to get to work, maybe you can? I start monitoring the market at 3 mins before the OFF. I want to remember my "starting balance" at the start of the betting day. also I need to re-set win / loss statement also at the start of the betting day. easy right   When my balance is up from my "starting balance" 200 or more dollars I want to re-set the win / loss statement. This will reset my betting sequence back to the start. I need this "balance moving up" trigger to re-set the win / loss every time I am up 200 or more dollars. So the above remember my "starting balance" trigger will need to re-set also at the same time, every time moving forward. easy right   I find this virtually impossible to do, with many tries so far   -------------------- OK now I need the exact opposite trigger for when I am 200 or more dollars down from my initial remembered starting balance. So if I am 200 or more dollars down I need the reset win / loss to reset. Also I need the remember “starting bank” balance also to remember the new lower balance. Ready for moving forward again. It is also possible I may lose another 200 or more that is why I need it all to move up and down the scale of possible outcomes. It needs these triggers to fire every time perfectly or catastrophe can happen. Maybe put some safe guards in that no bets can be made if certain triggers have not run yet. ----------- The problems I have come up against whilst trying to put it together: keeping all the triggers live so as to flow up and down with the profit and loss trying to work out the best time and right order that the triggers fire, I monitor from 3 mins out. Bets are made just before the OFF, so the triggers all need to work sometime before, but close as possible before bets are made just before OFF. So we have MAX time for previous market to settle. How to turn off and on the remembering trigger so it is not remembering the wrong balances, this is crucial. I have seen some betting system triggers which seem way more involved, I am hoping this quite simple idea can be put together.   ----------- I hope I have explained properly what I have been trying to do myself, but no cigar yet. I will be online for next 5 or so hours for any follow up questions. I hope this also might be of some use to the MF community if it is put together and works. Obviously you still have to find winning bets lol   Any help would be apprieciated. Bonecrusher
