Hi Dallas,

First time i've used this automation file and wondering if you or anyone can see whats happen.

It seemed to place a back bet unmatched but then placed a offset lay bet which i thought shouldn't fire unless a back bet is matched.

Here is the log and my betfair account.

It places both the opening and offset at the same time with the opening back bet set to take best current price, for it to have a unmatched back bet the odd will of had to drop at the exact moment the rule triggered and then continued to shorten from then till winning the race.

To only have the offset placed after a opening bet is matched you just need to tick the fill/kill option on the parameters tab (the number of seconds can be set for as long as you want).

Your log says the back was triggered at 5.0 seconds before the off and lay placed 30 ticks lower at 3.75
Looking at the timeform results it had a BSP 0f 3.61 so must of been a huge price crash in those final seconds - enough to even pass your lay before even going in play.

TBH i'de doubt you would manage to get a repeat of what happened in your log just very unfortunate it was one of the first times you tried this actual bot.

But the adding of the fill/kill option will prevent even that scenario happening again.

Hi. Newbie here. How can I select any horse instead of the favourite please? Been testing it with the favourite but wanted to give it a try with another horse which is not the favourite?

Thanks

On the general tab change the 'Applies' to Guardian Nominated 1

Then on the main guardian page after applying the rule to your markets in the 'Automation Nominated Selection 1' column select the name of the runner ther rule is to run on - if this is left blank then the rule just won't trigger on that race

Hi Dallas,

Just been looking at it myself.

At the moment the 'Applies to selection' is selected to 'in position 1(sorted of favouritism).......... can I change this to 'by nomination' - Gurdian Nominated Selection 1' ? I presume this will then choose the horse that I select pre-off?

Thanks

I have selected the free bet on the fav guardian automation and just changed the price to trigger the bet at back price of 2.30 and also selected al horse racing and greyhound today.

Does this bot work on greyhounds too?

thanks

Their is no in-play betting on greyhounds so you would need to ensure both bets are matched before the off

It placed the bet at 2.1 but Betfair always match at the best possible price when the order reaches the market so in this case you got odds of 5.2

If you want the bet to ONLY if its odds are at or around 2.1 then you need to add the following condition
'Fixed Odds Condition'
Selections 'Last Traded Price'
Is 'Less' Than 2.12
