Good afternoon, I like to back runners that I have selected before a race to be backed at a lower price in running. however, sometimes the bet doesn't get matched because the market has moved that fast that the price has gone. can anyone advise on how to best deal with this? so if i was to back at 2.5 for example, is there a way of putting the bet in the market before it reaches that level?
thanks
In running price missed. advice please
You can't put the bet in the market before hand because Betfair would just match it at the best price, you can only trigger your bet once a price is reached.
The further below the price you then place the bet the better the chance of it being matched, if you weren't bothered about what price you were matched at you could just place it at 1.01 and that will get you matched almost all the time
