Offset bet with greening automation

[finalfurlong76]

Hi, I'm trying to set up an automation for my back to lay bets, an offset bet with greening. The back bet fires normally pre race but the lay bet, that I would like to fire in play, is cancelled every time. I have to be there and manually choose the "keep" selection for my lay bet to be triggered in play. I tried to add a "keep all unmatched bets" rule , also I specified a condition for this rule to be triggered in play, but without success. Any ideas? I am stuck although it seems simple enough.

It needs to trigger pre-play if you want to take an unmatched bet in-play
and at sometime after the offset has been placed

So if I place my back bet at unrealistic odds and manually choose " take SP" then the lay bet will be triggered at the same time, so I submit a change to "keep" in play my lay bet and I suppose that will work?

If your taking SP the offset won't be placed, you'de have to place the bet in-play at SP in order to then have it offset.
If you use 'keep unmatched' bets the offset will get placed

So I program the bot to trigger in play, 00:00:00 after the event goes in play until 00:00:03 ?
It will not be exactly the same like SP, right?
Place at "Best market price" offset bet with greening 50%, and should I add a condition like " the market is in-play"?
And add a second rule "keep all unmatched bets", always armed, and maybe a condition "the market is in play"?
It seems that there is no need to add conditions but I want to be sure that the lay bet will be placed.

The lay bet should be programmed to trigger more than once? Let's say, 3 times and wait 3 seconds?

If you're looking for a DOBing bot there are a few ready-made ones you can download and use as they are or edit to your exact requirements from the shared files section

Thanks a lot for your help, I picked up some ideas and I am going to test them in a little while to see if they work
