Interested in this one and will try today. Thanks.

How do you specify a ‘greening’ stake when you take BSP?

For context, I would like to place a back bet pre race and a corresponding lay bet at BSP with greening.
IT's difficult to green at BSP because BSP is unknown until the race starts

SoI downloaded the file in the OP and used it at is - i made no changes to it - It placed the back bet at 200 but at the start of the race it didn't back at BSP, nothing happened - has the file been updated somewhere?

What market did you use it on?

Was there anything in the log saying if BF rejected it?

I used it on the first 2 races today - in both it placed the initial bets at 200 - but then nothing - the log shows nothing until the races go in play and suspended.

There are no conditions on the Take SP rule so providing the market gets refreshed during the 8 seconds its armed for (between 10 and 2 secs before the start) the rule will trigger.

What refresh rate are you using in Guardian and how many markets do you have in to approx?

I'll use again in the 8.30 at Wolv on a random selction for min stake and inspect the log again.

Have the market on your main screen, you should see the unmatched at the bottom of your screen, which will then turn to 'take SP' with 10secs to go

So nothing fired at the off again - back bet was placed at 200 like before but nothing else happened. It was the only market in Guardian refreshing at 20ms. Do you need to see the log?

I had the market on screen - the bet just disappeared at the off - nothing happened.

21/09/2020 20:29:01: [G_Auto] : £ 2.00 Back bet placed on Liams Lass at 200. Entirely unmatched when it initially reached the market. Ref: 211827578310
21/09/2020 20:31:17: Guardian has detected that the market is suspended
21/09/2020 20:31:18: Guardian has detected that the market is in-play
21/09/2020 20:31:18: Guardian has detected that the market is now unsuspended
21/09/2020 20:33:04: Guardian has detected that the market is suspended

That's the log

I just can't see anything in the rules file that's amiss!

Ahh - the Take SP rule has Guardian Nominated Selection 2 as default - should I change that to Selection 1 for back bets? And does that mean you can't back and lay in the same race?

Nope that didn't work - the Take SP rule of this Automation just doesn't work for me - shame because it would have been a very useful bot.

This is a new line in the log - no idea what it means

22/09/2020 12:59:01: [G_Auto] : £ 2.00 Back bet placed on Charlie Fellowes at 200. Entirely unmatched when it initially reached the market. Ref: 211860977236

The log is showing the bet was marked as take sp and there is nothing returned from BF to say they rejected it

Which market was this on?
Also where are you betting from?

It's ok - seems to be working now since I changed the Take SP rule from Guardian Nominated Selection 2 to Selection 1 - even though there are no conditions.
