Price and Amount

Top  Previous  Next

Price and Amount are the fields that appear next to a trigger action that places a bet.

 

Price

 

You can either enter the price value between 1.01 and 1000, insert trigger variables and expressions (or their combinations) or select one of the following options:

 

current best

Bet at the best available odds. If "Execute" is set to "back" then it'll back at the best available back price, and if "Execute" is set to "lay", then it'll bet at the best available lay price.

best to match

Bet so as to match the whole bet size at any price available. If backing the bet will be posted at a price of 1.01. BetFair will automatically adjust this price to the best available one and will distribute the whole bet amount among the best odds. If laying the bet will be posted at a price of 1000.

 

Here's an example of how the "Price" field can be used with trigger variables:

Price: h_2_back_price

 

Amount

 

You can either enter the amount in your currency units, insert trigger variables and expressions (or their combinations) or select one of the following options:

 

default back

The default (one-click) back amount set for the specified channel

default lay

The default (one-click) lay amount set for the specified channel

previous P/L

The absolute (unsigned) value of the profit or loss which the previous game in the trigger channel ended up with. If you won 5 EUR, this value will be "5", if you lost 10 EUR it'll be "10".

total P/L

The (unsigned) absolute value of the total profit or loss gained in the current trading session.

 

Here's an example of how the "Amount" field can be used with trigger variables:

Amount: back_bet_size*back_bet_price/lay_price.
