Can I select which bet fires off first??

[lisawatsuk1]

Hello, I have recently created a basic back to lay automation for horse racing where if the odds reach 1.19 or below, it will place a back bet and offset with greening for 12 ticks. It has been going ok so far however, a few of the races have been placing the lay bet first, which isn't leaving room for the back bet to get placed. So essentially I have laid a winning horse.
Is there a condition I am supposed to add to ensure the BACK bet gets placed first??

Thank you

Yes tick the fill/kill box on the parameters tab if you only want the offset placed after the opening bet is filled

And if you only want the back bet to trigger as the odds fall use a 'Fixed odds condition'
Selection in Betfair order of favourtism 1
Last traded price is
less than 1.20 (or whatever odds you want it to trigger at)

If you get stuck their is a ready made rule to back the likely winner you can download, then just add the offset and fill/kill on the parameters tab

Do I keep the trigger rule at 1?

Do you mean on the 'General' tab where it has 'allow rule to trigger upto '1' time - then yes this stays as it is
If not which trigger rule?
