Sorry if this is the wrong area to place this topic.
I want to be able to place a Back bet before the start of a race and then place a lay bet in running at lower odds. However, if the Lay bet is not matched and the horse loses I lose the stake. Is there a way of cancelling the Back bet ( using Guardian ) late in the race if the Lay bet has not been matched? I realise that doing this on a timing basis may not work due to different race lengths but is there a condition could use?
Cancelling a Back Bet in Running
You could just use a green up rule (or reverse green) to exit at a predefined time during a race, this following example should help, it backs around the halfway stage of a race so uses different arm times depending on the race distance being run.

i remember adding a rule to the forum a year or so ago that used a Signal, with a fixed name (PercentageComplete) which meant that you could have your *Action* rule as a single rule and just have the Signal value (which is defined across each race distance) evaluated generically.. will addit to this thread once i locate it again!!Dallas wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 4:37 pmYou could just use a green up rule (or reverse green) to exit at a predefined time during a race, this following example should help, it backs around the halfway stage of a race so uses different arm times depending on the race distance being run.

ok, found the rule. I'm sure you'll be able to tweak it to suit - and Dallas, might be worth adding the logic of this one to your Signals examples, I've found it pretty useful in the past..
this example uses two percentages (50% and 90%) as the range inside which bets can be placed, otherwise -no go.
