I like putting in small unmatched bets consecutively, what I mean is lets say a horse called “boaty” I put in unmatched amounts of £10 10 times, so overall stake would be £100.

Is it possible to create a rule where lets say you put in an unmatched amount of £10 at 13.0, and it got matched within 5 minutes, to put the next unmatched amount of £10 in at 13.5?

Yes, it is possible, but you'd need to define the overall logic more clearly
ie, what if a bet isn't matched within 5mins
does it get killed?
does that stop all further bets on that selection/market?
do they restart after 'X' time?
What if its part matched when it reaches 5 mins?

Code: Select all

i'd like to leave it up as it is until it does get matched. and if it gets fully matched, but not fully matched within 5 minutes of placing the bet, i'd like to place another unmatched bet of 10£ at the same odds

lets say it would need to be FULLY matched

so lets say if ive put unmatched stake of £10 on at 13.0

and depending on the scenarios

A: if gets fully matched within 5 minutes of placing the bet - this would result in putting another 10£ back stake on at 13.5, as soon as the original £10 stake has been fully matched


B: doesnt get fully matched within 5 minutes of placing the bet - this would result in putting another 10£ back stake on at 13.0, as soon as the original £10 stake has been fully matched

and how is it choosing the prices?
are these fixed odds?
or price based ie, one tick above current best reverse price?
