Hi all,
I've set up an automation to scalp 3 ticks in running when the odds of the favourite reaches 1.29 or lower. But the bets have been firing off higher than 1.29 and sometimes does not get low enough to reach the offset. How can I set it so that it doesn't place a bet unless it reaches 1.29 or lower?
Thanks
Bets firing off higher than my conditions

Betfair always matches you at the best market price.
Therefore when it reached 1.29, your trigger fired but in the meantime the price went out higher.

Shouldn't it have waited until the odds went back down then?cybernet69 wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2017 8:13 pmBetfair always matches you at the best market price.

No, your trigger fired it in at 1.29 and it therefore matched it a a higher price, because it was available.
A back bet will always match at that price or higher, if available.
A lay bet will always match at that price or lower, if available.

lisa,
Another approach to this would be to set your bet to place at a fixed price of say 1.29 odds, i.e.
This way, you are explicitly instructing the software to only place when these odds are available. In combination with your condition of < 1.3 odds, this should get you a little closer to your goal.

I think I originally had it at fixed odds when I first created this rule but I believe I was running into a similar issue. I will give it a go again and maybe add some further conditions.
Thank you
