Howcome only certain markets get matched when horse goes under 2.0? I had in Downpatric, that 4 horses were matched at 1.75, and in the uk some races dont even get matched ?
Did the rules trigger and were the bets kept?
If so and you know a horse traded below the price they were placed at you'd need to speak to Betfair for an explanation as to why it didn't match

Is it maybe set, that 2 horses has to trade below 2.0 before a lay bet will be done at 1.75?

That's almost certainly the markets not getting refreshed fast enough

When the rule triggers it lays all selections at exactly the same time and the keep bets rule does the same, it would be impossible for it to only lay certain runners, it would be all or none (if the market wasn't refreshed).
So if more than 3 horses traded below the price the bets were placed at as I said above you need to speak to Betfair to find out why only one was matched for you.

Try it on 20ms (enable streaming if that rate isn't displayed as an option)

Unfortunately you may not get much sense out of them. When I first dabbled in lay the field a couple of years ago I had a similar query but the person on the so called 'help desk' had no more clue than me. There are people there with technical knowlege but it's virtually impossible to speak with one of them as they remain in the background.. Instead their 'help desk' seems to be crewed by people who are only marginally more knowlegeable than the people taking bets.

I find it very frustrating that Whenever i have run this it has never greened a constant losing strat for me.

Does anyone have any specific flat race conditions that this strat can be applied to ?

Have you tried adjusting the odds at which you want to Lay the Field at before you start looking for specific conditions to avoid?

It is sub 2.0 as a starter for 10. Download some data then you can apply formula to find the answer. NigelK has shared a tool for taking the pain out of downloading.

If you back bet is larger than £2 which is set here is it more difficult to get you bets matched? If not what can you realistically go up to?

I'm trialing a modified version of this and I have offset bet with greening and stop set in global settings.
The issue I'm having is the offset bets seem to generally trigger twice resulting in a loss where there should be a profit.

For example, one selection had a lay bet of £1 at 8.0 matched and an offset back bet of 0.62 was then placed at 13.0 but for some reason it's placed an additional 0.81 bet at 13.0 and both have actually been taken.

04/09/2020 13:01:18: Stop triggered. Modify bet 210230100190 from 0.62 @ 13 to 1.43 @ 4 Error changing price ( BET_TAKEN_OR_LAPSED ). Additional £ 0.81 bet placed as Ref: 210230103128
04/09/2020 13:01:18: Stop triggered. Modify bet 210230103128 from 0.81 @ 13 to 0.81 @ 4 Error changing price ( BET_TAKEN_OR_LAPSED ).

Any idea's what settings need to be modified in order to stop this happening?
