hi forum. I've been having trouble with a servant of mine after I made some ill advised tweeks and got myself royally confused. all I am looking to do is put a $5 lay bet on a servant context selection and then when it gets matched put in an offset bet. I somehow have it putting in a back bet when it should be a lay bet. I would rather not simply put in an offset "normally " because sometimes the other side of the bet gets matched first. any help is always appreciated--Stef

Stef, when using an offset bet if your intention is for one side to get matched before the other is created you need to also make it a fill or kill bet. When you create a fill or kill bet you can set the 'kill' time to be as short or as long as you want.
