automation newbie question

[brimson25]

Hello. I am not a newbie, but I am to automation. I've been messing around was a a lay to back horse bot.

I ended up making more money than I expected on the 15.20 at Warwick, where the bot laid Present Storm, but did not offset. That's great for this race, but worries me more generally because I don't understand what happened and I could have easily lost money.

I have run this bot about 50 times and this is the first time this has happened. I am sure I must seem very dense asking asking this, but does this log make it clear what happened? (ie. why offsetting bet did not get placed?)

It seems to say my issue is the refresh rate, but I do not understand why this is a problematic on this race and not the others.

Grateful for any comments, but probably fully deserving of any mockery that comes my way!

Here is the log:

Yeah its basically down to to your refresh speed, it wouldn't be a regular occurrence as you've noticed but if you are refreshing a lot of markets and your refresh speed is slow there will be times when this happens

This post explains more about how the refresh rate in Guardian effects your automation and shows where to make changes to get the perfect results
