Horse racing. (in Play)
I have set up a bot to Lay @ (for example) odds 10; post a stoploss at 5 and Offset at the maximum odds of 1000.

Have use the 'Offset with greening and stop' global parameter which works pretty well
It places the bet at the current odds(in this example 10)
The stop shows at 5.
I have set the Offset target at 40,000% to ensure the the offset bet odds is 1000.
(hope that's clear so far?)
The only drawback is that it unnecessarily places a Back bet of 1 penny at 1000.

So my question is this . Is there a better way of doing this. i.e. Lay bet with greening and stop but no offset of 1 penny at 1000?

Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly, but if you don't want to use an offset then just don't use it?
