2.0 to 4.0 is 2 odds not 2 ticks

A realive odds condition will let you test is a selections last traded price is X ticks greater or less than there SP

Hi sorry new to this. So if I wanted to lay a horse for 1 point more than the sp how many ticks would that be ?? Or is that not the right way to do it ??

It would vary, the lower the odds the more ticks between the round prices ie, there are 50 ticks between 2.0 and 3.0, 20 ticks between 3.0 and 4.0, then 10 ticks between 4.0 and 5.0 and so on so unless targetting runners around the same price each race then using odds it probably better.

When making your lay rule adding a 'relative odds condition' will let you set the number of ticks or odds the price needs to move from its SP before triggering

Yes you can trigger bets on as many runners as you want
