Selections List
When the Markets list is loaded the BTX will start a background process that will retrieve the Selections information for each Market, including the jockey silks if applicable. The Selections for the currently selected Market (highlighted in orange in the Markets List) are displayed in the Selection List area. A different Market can be viewed by clicking on it in the Markets List. The Selections list is loaded with the following columns:
•Name (and BSP): The name of the Selection. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd favourites in the market are indicated in smaller text below the selection names. The favourite is the selection that has the lowest last price matched (LPM) during the pre-event period. Long selection names may be abbreviated to accommodate the ‘favourite’ text, but you can hover the mouse cursor over the selection name to display it in full along with the Betfair Starting Price (BSP) for the selection if available.
•Back: The current available Betfair market Back price. Will display “NR” if the selection is a non-runner.
•Lay: The current available Betfair market Lay price. Will display “NR” if the selection is a non-runner.
•LPM: The last price matched on Betfair. Will display “NR” if the selection is a non-runner.
•Win Mkt: This column is only displayed for horse racing PLACE markets if the bet plan option to refer to the prices in the corresponding WIN market has been selected. This column will contain either the Back, Lay or LPM price (depending on the bet plan option selected) of the same Selection in the WIN market.
•P&L: Your current profit and loss position on each Selection. In Simulated Betting mode this is displayed with a yellow background. Note that in real betting mode this will also include any ‘external’ P&L, i.e. from bets placed outside of the BTX session being viewed. Note also that in the case of markets where there is more than one winner (for example horse racing PLACE market), this column will display 2 values, the first is the P&L result if the selection wins and the second of it loses.
•Tools: Displays a button that you can click to obtain a popup menu of options available for the Selections list. This popup menu can also be displayed by right-clicking a row in the Selections list
•Manual Trading Interface: If this has been enabled in Settings then addition columns will be displayed that support manual betting, see section Manual Trading Interface.
