SP with minimum odds?

[jrvoice]

I'm using Excel triggering to place back bets on the US horse markets and on some I'm able to use BACK-SP to take the SP which is a big help.

However, given the huge variation between scheduled and actual off times I may trigger an SP bet when the conditions are right - but then in the time after the SO and AO the price may collapse so I end up backing something that I wouldn't have because of the timing.

Normal back bets have the opposite problem, where the price may drift after I've placed it (normally 2-3 mins before the SO to capture any early-running tracks) so I'd rather take the SP price, so long as its above a threshold.

So... is there any way to use the trigger options to place an SP bet with minimum odds otherwise the bet gets cancelled at the off.

Thanks!

You need to be looking at the BACKSP trigger if you want to set minimum values you wish to take. You're only drawback is that you are betting directly into the SP pool so will be settled at SP only regardless of what price the runner may have reached pre off

Thanks CS - just what I was looking for, I'd assumed BACKSP and BACK-SP were the same but armed with this I've got this one fixed.

A great explanation of the difference is here:
