Order Cancels Order ?

Postby SilkBC » Sat Feb 27, 2010 5:47 am

Hi,

I was looking for this function, but can't seem to find it. I have seen this tool in other products, but it doesn't seem to be in this one. Basically i was to be able to place two orders and as soon as one of them is fulfilled, the other gets cancelled automagically. It like a conditional bet, but with an auto-cancel order.

This is useful when doing Lay The Draw, for example. I would put my lay in, then setup two orders: one that triggers if the price doubles, for example, and the other for if the price goes down to 2.0.

This could probably be done with Excel triggered betting, but looks like it would need some really fancy coding.

If you could advise, thanks! :-)

What you are describing sounds similar to tick offset combined with stop loss.

1) In the tick offset settings tab set the tick offset to 100 and tick "Ticks = %"
2) In the stop loss tab select odds instead of offset ticks and enter 2 in the odds box. Tick enabled.
3) Place your lay bet.
4) Turn off tick offset and stop loss by clicking on the green ticks at the top of the screen. They will change to a red cross to indicate they are no longer active. This is to prevent further bets that you place having these settings applied.
5) Do not change markets. If you do it will not be able to monitor the bets.

As soon as the lay bet is matched it will place a back bet at double the odds. If the lay odds come down to 2 or lower then the back bet will be cancelled and a stop loss back bet will be placed at the lay odds minus 1 tick.

There is a bug in version 1.1.0.62 which affects this type of stop loss bet so I urge you to install the latest Beta version before trying this.

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
