Hi all, so I copied a simple automation that Peter did on You Tube. I've used 'Keep all unmatched bets' in there but sometimes it doesn't get matched even though the price has gone down several times below the back bet during the race. I've noticed that the unmatched bet disappears during the race as well which I don't understand? Is there no persistence with the lay bet staying the full course of the race?

Any help with my mediocre understanding of such things will be most welcome. This is of course just for practice etc.

Need to see the setting used on your Keep bets rule to be sure but I suspect it's either
A) not triggering AFTER your last bet is placed
B) and/or its not armed long enough if you have lot'f of markets in Guardian and using a slow refresh rate.

This post explains how guardian cycles/refreshes markets and how to set up it up so automation rules have the best chance of triggering

Well I realize now that it turns off as soon as it goes in 'in play' for some reason. I've tried all sorts of timings and etc.

Any pointers...?

By having it 'always armed' and set to trigger 5 times every second,
As soon as you apply it to a market it will have triggered all 5 times within 5 secs (well before any of your bets have been placed closer to the off)

If you arm it to start triggering something like 10secs before the off till 5 secs after the off
Trigger 5 times every 2 seconds

That will ensure it keeps them
