But the odds page shows £107:14 against each runner and a loss of £472:84 against New Vic?

Any ideas what has happened there (I was in practice mode!)

Your lay was fully matched but only a few pence of your back was before the remainer was killed, so you more or less has a straight lay on New Vic for just over £100

Sorry to be dim, how can you see that from the log Dallas?

Would I have lost a load of cash then?

By what you said the odds page showed you and these lines in the log

19/12/2016 13:55:45: [G_Auto] : £ 100.00 Back bet placed on New Vic at 5.8. Entirely unmatched when it initially reached the market. Ref: 10021 ( Fill or kill bet with 5 seconds delay. Offsetting by 2 ticks with greening. )
19/12/2016 13:55:50: [G_Auto] : £ 100 of unmatched bet (Ref:10021) was filled before remainder was killed.
19/12/2016 13:55:51: [G_Auto] : £ 103.57 Lay bet placed on New Vic at 5.6. Entirely unmatched when it initially reached the market. Ref: 10022
19/12/2016 13:55:58: [G_Auto] : Greened up New Vic by Laying 103.57 at 5.6

It was either very small amount of the back bet matched, the whole lay bet matched and greening was unmatched.
Or all of back bet matched and both lay bet and greening matched

either way the end result on your log page was a lay of just over £100 @ 5.6

In this race as New Vic lost you would of profited £107.14, but i think you maybe wanting to place a back bet but only have it offset when filled (and not offset the lay at the same time)?

If so tick the fill/kill box to do this viewtopic.php?f=47&t=11817

Strange thing was the Kill or Fill was ticked and the rule worked fine for all of the races yesterday except for three where it didnt green up correctly.

Will give it another go today and report back, once again many thanks for your help!
