Asking for a price, taking best market price if not matched at kick off

Apologies if this is not the appropriate place to post, or if the question has been asked elsewhere already.

Is it possible to ask for a price pre match, but if this price is not taken to then take the best market price?

For example, I want to lay over 1.5 goals pre match at the current back price of 1.17. The lay price is 1.18, which I am happy to accept at kick off should my pre match bet at 1.17 not have been matched.

There are two options

1), Use the Global Settings option 'Stop on opening bet', that will move your unmatched bet and take the current price if the odds have moved 'X' ticks since you placed your bet - but you can't use this option if you specifically want it to trigger at a set time ie, at KO

2) You could create a servant with two place lay bet rules, one to place your original lay bet, then use another rule to place the second lay bet at KO, on this rule you could add a 'Number of Matched Bets' Condition is equal to 0
ie, it will only trigger if your first bet hasn't been matched

Thanks for the reply. I'll look into the servant option I think.

Nice to see i was thinking the same as Dallas before I had read his response.

My gut would've said option 2 with 2 rules:
1. Trigger up until a few seconds before KO at price required
2. If matched bets =0, take price available (and cancel first bet)
