Create a trigger for MLB (baseball)

Hello,

I'd be happy to buy Cymatic but I've already spent too much time analyzing how it works and am still unsure I'll be able to write the write the correct trigger with Excel to bet on the MLB (Baseball) market. Could someone help me please?

Here is what I want to do:
For Team A in the MLB market, IF SP> 2 AND IF within 60 minutes of the game, the odds for Team A suddenly drop by at least 50% AND (1.5 =< odds >= 2 THEN bet $1 OR 2.05 =< odds >=4 THEN bet $2). IF a bet is placed on Team A then don't bet anymore on Team A for this game.

This is the simplest formula I came up to but ideally the trigger would be related to the current score and inning number, if they are available.

If I can have the formula, I'll buy the software right away...

Thank you

Lama

Hi Lama,

SP is not available in Cymatic / Excel. Instead you might want to consider calculating your own estimate of the SP, perhaps using the prevailing mid price or last traded price. Perhaps your strategy might work well enough with that estimate.

There is also no scores information or inning number. However there is a sample spreadsheet that shows how to calculate the probable score using the prevailing odds in the correct score market. It was designed for football but perhaps it can be made to work for MLB if it has a Correct Score market available in Betfair.

There is a third party developer with the forum name probro, who might be able to help you.

Kind regards,

Gavin
