Hi all please could somebody help me out!!

I have tried to set up a DOB rules file with the global settings.

The placing of the actual bets are fine, but for some reason it is not holding the lay bet when it goes in play.

I used the keep bets rule and set the timings to exactly the same as my back bets triggering 3 times.

Obvioslly I am doing something wrong somewhere!!

Many thanks in advance.

The keep bets need to be armed sometime after the lay has gone in.
If backing at the best/2nd best price the lay should be triggered immediately

So arm the keep bets rule from 1 sec to 10 secs after and have it trigger 3 times every 3 secs (or something like that).

Also, make sure you are refreshing the markets fast enough in guardian

Success!!!

Thank you Dallas!

As a BTW, with regards to dobbing, do you find sticking within an odds range such as 5.0-10.0 or just looking at DOB % per horse (same class, distance etc) at over 70% or the dobbing return per horse/runs?

Once again Thank you.
