Canceling the other lay bets

[poison17]

Hi there.

Need some help.

The bot is very simple, but I have a HUGE problem with my laying bot.

SO, what it does :
as soon as race starts, all horses are layed with 100 pounds stakes, at 2.02 . As soon as one of the horse bet gets matched.. I wand to CANCEL all other horses. Then , ofcourse, green up that horse.

BUT , there is the issue : When I test on 1 pound, everything is ok, as soon as 1st horse get matched, all the unmatched bets are cancelled.
When I play on 100 pounds stakes, sometimes (1 from 6 times) .. I got only 1,5, or 12 pounds matched , at the first horse that reach 2.02 odd. The bot i've made will CANCEL ALL my remaining bets, including bets that are on that horse, but unmatched.

What I want to do.. is to cancel ALL the other horses, but still have 1st horse unmatched bets, still there, left in the market.
for example , I got a 5 horse race. I put the 100 pounds lay bets on every horse, As soon as 1st horse reach 2.02 , and I got a match only for 15 pounds from 100 pounds, for that horse, I want cancel ALL the other 4 horses, but KEEP the other remaining 85 pounds on the market, on that 1st horse ...

About greening up.. is there another way to green up the 1st horse ? My bot try to green up when I get a 10 pounds profit , but I also wanna try to green up (place a back bet) at 2.5 odd for example, on that horse.. how I do that ?

I'm a little confused, wouldn't it be in your interest to 'keep' the other bets? If you want to lay the first horse to trade at 2.02 it could very well be the one that wins? If you kept the other bets there's a chance you may get another one matched, if you can get two more matched you've got a profit? I'm not criticising the strategy as I don't understand everything but If you want to only lay the first to touch 2.02 and then green up, you may not be able to if it continues to shorten if it looks likely to win.

thanks angel for your reply.

but no, i dont want to place lay on another horse, that bot in only a part of a bigger strategy, in order for my strategy to work in the long term, I need the first horse to place the full amount of the bets if possible.

so, i need to cancel lay nets ONLY for other horses, not the first horse to reach 2.02.

Ok, pending an answer from someone more expert on automation, I'd suggest you click on the quick links tab above and then click 'search' and try searching using key words like 'first to trade at' or something similar. This question has been asked before apparently so hopefully you'll find answers in those threads.

Good luck

Like ANGELS15 says why not just lay first to hit 2.0, in fact already a bot set up for this - viewtopic.php?f=43&t=11362

just change the amounts and add profit / loss green up

you may not always get full £100 matched though if that's the issue as odds in running can be all over the place

thanks for the answer.

I know that topic, and that version of laying, too well ... in that case, the bot will lay only 1 horse, if the horse will reach 2.02 , will place a lay bet at 2.0...

my bot is different, it lays all the horses in the first second of the race. I have my own reasons for that. But, like I said, I want to cancel all the horses, except the first to reach it.
