Hiya,
I feel like this should be fairly straight forward but I seem to be hitting a brick wall so any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
I am currently playing with a greyhound trading bot which involves placing speculative bets outside the money. Should they get matched I have an off-set to hopefully trade out. It has been working well but this evening the 19:16 was suspended at least 30 seconds before the off time so my 'green all' trade didn't fire and I was left with a large liability. Obviously, sods law kicked in and the silly thing went and won didn't it?!
I was thinking of ways to get round this and thought the 'take SP' option would be good in case Betfair do their usual silliness and suspend early. However, I am struggling to workout how to make it so only the offset bets (back bets in this case) are set to 'take SP' rather than everything. I don't want the original bets to be 'take SP' as if they're not matched at my prices I don't want to take SP as I cancel them. Essentially I want BA to set the bet that will close the trade (the offset) to 'Take SP' just in case the green up bot fails for whatever reason.
Thanks in advance
Take SP Back bets only
You can use 'Take SP unmatched bets on Selection (Price Dependant)' and that will allow you to specify just back or lay bets

Ah, thank you so much. I hadn't looked at the Price dependent bit properly. I'll have a play.
Thanks, Dallas
