Hi All,

Newly signed up and saw the video on how to set up automated dobbing.

The first rule of getting the best market price to trigger 5 seconds worked fine.

A bet was placed but then when the odds came down the second rule whereby it says keep unmatched lay bet didn't work. Instead the message £10 lay bet placed on X horse at 3.1. Entirely unmatched when it initially reached the market.

So just a bit confused what's happening. I'm sure I am missing something obvious.

Just looking to do a simple dob with double stake at half the price.

See log below?

29/07/2019 16:44:57: [G_Auto] : £ 5.00 Back bet placed on As You Like at 6.2. Fully matched at 6.2. Ref: 10000 ( Fill or kill bet with 30 seconds delay. Offsetting by 50% [A] with greening. )
29/07/2019 16:44:57: [G_Auto] : £ 10.00 Lay bet placed on As You Like at 3.1. Entirely unmatched when it initially reached the market. Ref: 10001
29/07/2019 16:46:25: Guardian has detected that the market is suspended
29/07/2019 16:46:26: Guardian has detected that the market is in-play
29/07/2019 16:46:27: Guardian has detected that the market is now unsuspended
29/07/2019 16:51:43: Guardian has detected that the market is suspended

Many thanks folks!

Did the price actually fall to 3.1 in-play?

It appears you backed the horse at 6.2 (matched), laid the horse at 3.1 (unmatched) to win the equal of your stake if the price reached 3.1.

There is no keep bets rule so the lay is being cancelled by Betfair when the market goes in-play
Or if you do have a keep bets rule its not triggering, maybe due to it not being armed long enough and/or not refreshing the markets in guardian quickly enough.

Looking at when your back bet rule triggers make sure the keep unmatched bets rule is armed for something like
00:00:02 secs before event start
till 00:00:10 secs after event start time
Trigger 5 times re-arm every 2 secs

Then on your Guardian main banner on the right side tick 'Automatical switch to Bet Angel Market'
and enter something like 60 secs

That should do it
