Bet 1 Trigger Conditions

Bet 1 will only be placed when the specified trigger conditions have been satisfied. These are set on the "Bet 1 Trigger Conditions" panel and consist of:

•The Period in which the bet is to be placed.

With the Pre-Event and Anytime options you can optionally specify a time period before the scheduled start time during which the bet can be placed. So for example if he specifies 30 minutes then the bet can only be placed from within 30 minutes before the market start time. If you have selected ‘Take Available Price’ then the price available at 30 minutes before the market start time will be used.

With the In-Play option you can optionally specify a time period after the market in-play time when the bet can be placed. So for example if you specify 20 seconds then the BTX will wait for 20 seconds after the market is turned in-play before attempting to place the bet. If you have ticked ‘Take Available Price’ then the price available at 20 seconds after the market has been turned in play will be used.

Note: if you have selected Betfair Starting Price (BSP) for the Bet1 price type then the BTX will force the Period setting to Pre-Event.

A Price Trigger condition. Here you can specify which price type and what range of price values will trigger the bet. The trigger price type can be:

Back - the current market Back price for the Selection.

Lay - the current market Lay price for the Selection.

Last Matched - the last price matched in the market for the Selection.

Available Price – the price that is currently available at the time when the Period condition is satisfied.

Having selected the price type you then specify the range of price values that you want to trigger the bet.

To specify a particular exact price (i.e. not a range) you should set both the low and high values to that price.

If you do not care what the price is then you should set the low value to 1.01 and the high to 1000.00
