Can you open a new market, start the servant then post a screenshot of your ladder screen and copy of the log for that market?

According to the screenshots you are doing are doing exactly what I said in my previous message and taking a price (which Betfair is instantly matching at the best price) and not offering the bet at a better price.

ie, you have used the Lay servant and tried to lay above the current price at 3.10 as highlighted in the image below and BF matched you at 2.94 immediately

In that screenshot you need to be offering the lay at 2.90 or below

You're using the Servants the wrong way around. I recognise the mistake because I've made it before. My shortcut keys are alt c & alt x so I do this regularly and the worst part is, I tell myself I need to change those keys each time it happens. Guess what hasn't been changed.

You can add conditions to the initial opening trigger to makesure it doesnt make a mistake you you use the wong back/lay servant etc.

Remember, although this servant is very useful it still another template and you have to figure out some other stuff before trusting completely for all market conditions.

Thanks for that mate.. Its working now.. One thing im noticing tho is that when the lay gets matched it bursts tho before the offset gets matched and always ends in the red.. should that be happening all the time? isnt it supposed to be cancelled if there isnt enough money to be matched straight away?

Like this:

The stake you are using is way too much for the liquidty on that selection.

Like this:

The back bet has begun getting matched and obviously what remains is at the front of the queue but you are using a oversized stake for what you are trading and in PM so its not going to be a true representation.

What you do from here if it starts to go back down before the rest is matched is up to you, ie, you can take a small loss or leave it in case it bounces back up - this can be done manually or you could give the servant further instructions.

The 'cancel' rule kicks in if it reaches the touch price of your opening bet and more than £100 is waiting but a large bet at just the wrong time can push it through your opening bet, again you can deal with this manually as it may well come straight back or give the servant some more rules

Thanks for the replies

Like this:

The stake you are using is way too much for the liquidty on that selection.
- Only £58,000 has been matched in total on that market.
- There is still 11 minutes to go before the start
- You have used £100 stake on that selection.

You need lots of money arriving into the market, usally when the previous race has finished and market matched > £100,000.

You learn something everyday!

I have been playing around with BA automation for a couple of years now, thought I had been doing OK with it all and got most of it well sussed out.............., I have just been looking at this servant rules file (thank you Dallas ) and I have only just realised that you can add a stored value to a "place a back bet rule" and probably to other rules too! (I will investigate that), in the past I have always made a seperate "set/modify a stored value". I now think that there have been many, many times that I did not need to that !
silly me
goodluck all!
stay safe!
look and learn!

It dont seem to work for me.. When i press alt and left click it Backs at the best current price instead of Laying where iv clicked where the least money is waiting.. Any ideas?

G'day all, for some reason when using this servant, the back bet gets matched but no lay bet is triggered to offset. Any advice?

What refresh rate are you using, you could try speeding that up to 20ms to see if that helps
