Thank you so much Dallas, I was way out.
And you did it between races! :shock:
Out of interest, what does "R8" stand for in "Signal bet matched R8"?
All I can think of is 8 runners :? but it can't be.
Glad it's worked for you
The R8 is just a typo, I was prob's going to name it something else but didn't in the end

Hi Dallas,
Your file works well,...too well infact. I have been "tweeking" it quite a bit, but can't find a solution.
At higher prices, 3,4 the lay bet sends out a signal and I invariably get 2 bets matched, so if itgoes on to lose.....
At lower odds, the back bet doesn't always get matched.
I was thinking of reducing the number of trigger times (set at 25 or fire every second), but that wouldn't help at the lower end.
I could use offset with greening but I wanted to use a different amount for the back bet.
What is the best way of preventing more than one back bet being matched?
Thank you.

It uses signals to ensure only 1 bet is submitted per selection, its set to trigger 25 times to allow it to trigger on upto 25 different runners (highly unlikely though).

At most you should only have the eventual winner not have its back bet matched, all you can do is reduce the back price your asking for, but if a runner steams in all the way then it wont matter a loss will incur - unless you start adding stop losses but there are no guarantees this will be matched especially if its price is crashing in

Ok, thanks Dallas,
I think I need to go back to the drawing board again. :)

Hi Dallas,
Please may I "pm" you and upload my file? My idea works in theory, but something's gone wrong with the wiring.

Hi again Dallas,
I've tried to compose a different file now because I can't find a condition which will cancel Just Lay bets. I thought I could achieve the same objective using signals. I've pieced it together from examples I found but the back bet still isn't being triggered. Is there any chance that you could take a look at this for me again?
Thanks in advance

The 'Cancel unmatched bets (price dependant)' rule can be used to just cancel backs/lays greater or less than a certain value.

If you post up the file i'll try and take a look sometime but if its unrelated to this bot or laying the field best to start a new thread for it and keep this one on topic

Is it possible (or is there already an automation available ) to lay the field at the start of race for a 1 or 2 tick profit ?

Do you mean lay each selection at their current price and offset each for 1 or 2 ticks

It is possible but there's not a rules file ready-made to do it

It just needs a rule to place a lay bet at 'best price' with offset bet with greening
applied to Betfair row 1

Then click the icon of two green arrows to duplicate the whole rule and change to
applied to Betfair row 2

and keep repeating that

Finally if triggering pre-off add a 'keep all unmatched bets' rule and have it trigger multiple time until the off

Thanks Dallas, do I need to create a keep unmatched bets for each row ?

Dallas,

Could you tell me how to exclude any horse with odds over 100 ?.

I have attached my file
