  Football Bot, is trigger bot, you must set the parameter: BotName to your trading or betting bot. We can call such bot declared by BotName parameter: action bot. 

  So, the action bot is actually a bot that is going to place your bets, it could be bot settings of "Place Bet" or "Place Bet and Close Selection Bet Position (trading bot)" bot or whatever other bot allowing to place bets. 

  Any bot settings allow entering "Entry Criteria" (click on tab Entry Criteria in the bot settings dialog). 

  Here you can add, click on green plus icon, LastPriceTraded Is between x and y value.  

  As in your action bot setting you can declare on which selection bot will place bet/s, the parameters: Selection/ExecuteOnSelection and SortSelectionBy, your bot will know which selection LastPriceTraded to evaluate. 

  As your bot will use Entry Criteria, you can restrict how many times these entry criteria should be evaluated, just by setting the parameter: Market/EvaluateEntryCriteriaOnlyOnce. 

  So, what will happen when your Football bot triggers your action bot? 

  As the EvaluateEntryCriteriaOnlyOnce is set to True (checked), and Entry Criteria is set to evaluate LastPriceTraded Is between x and y value, then when LastPriceTraded Is not between x and y, your action bot will not place a bet, and ends its execution.

  Thank you for the detailed response. I thought it would have had something to do with EvaluateEntryCriteriaOnlyOnce but i didn't know what was the right criteria. Unfortunatelly my evaluation period ended yesterday evenening so i would have to wait util i can buy a subscription to give it a go.

  Thanks anyways for the explanation.
