Hi all.

Getting there gradually !

Could someone point me in the right direction please

Is there a rule, or condition that will clear any unmatched bets by a certain time inplay (70mins) I can find a topic doing it by price but not time.

Many thanks

You could set the rule to trigger the clearing at 1hr 02 mins after market went in-play, which allows 15 mins for half time and 2 mins of 1st half added time.

Edit: I keep changing the time because my arithmetic is rather poor today! :lol:

Thank you.

What I have is a back bet that is set at HT and it goes into the market until the price is met (or not)
what i want to do is clear the unmatched bet at 70 mins

Not quite sure how to do that

Use the 'fill or kill' feature; if you place a bet as the half time whistle blows, you could set a FOK time of say 2400 seconds (15 mins HT plus 25 mins 2nd half.

Another way to do it if your half time bet is automated would be to store a value when that bet triggers, then use a ‘stored value changed’ condition on your cancel bets rule and set the timer to the required time
