What was the liability on those it did not trigger on?
For SP lay bets the liability must be £10GBP or currency equivalent or Betfair will not accept it

Yes, the £10 minimum for Lay bets is quite annoying as I place many small lay bets close to the off which don't meet the criteria, especially on longer priced runners.
Strangely , Betfair doesn't enforce this rule on Back bets where it will quite happily match a tiny bet e.g. 10p at SP.
Most of my bets (about 80%+) get matched before the off, for the remainder I use the KEEP option but set it to cancel after 30 seconds. Any longer and I feel I'm not getting value in-play as I'll get fully matched on every winner but not some losers.

That is strange, the minimum SP for a back bet is £2 so not sure how/why they are letting ones below that go throughBear's The Name wrote: ↑Sat Mar 17, 2018 9:45 am

Yes, I've never had any problem getting back bets down to as low as 1p accepted at SP using automation. Have you tried it, Dallas?

Found the issue - It's because the horse i nominated are non runners. I sent up 6 am every morning so usually get 1-3 NR's on any day.
