Hi All
Ive had a look around but cant see the answer on forum. Any pointing me in the right direction appreciated.
Im working within gappy football matches. Lets say laying the Over 2.5 market where the current available back price is 2.2 and lay price is 2.4 and I want to try and offer a price first. There are 3 scenarios.
1) My bot, an hour before kick off, offers the market the best back price available of 2.22 and it gets matched, great!
2) My bot offers 2.22 but its unmatched (I already know how to cancel this and take the lay price 1 minute before kickoff)
3) My bot offers 2.22 and only half of stake is matched. What then?
I would like to cancel the unmatched portion and take the best lay price 1 min before KO on the "unmatched amount" (obs within my price range). This way, my stake is 100% matched but at two prices.
Is there an efficient way or a certain condition within automation I should look at to achieve this?
Thanks
Unmatched Portion Of A Bet And Taking The Lay Money
There is a condition 'Matched Bet Amounts Condition' that could be used.
Imagine you want £10 in bets total, you have issued your speculative £10 bet earlier and shortly before k/o find £5 has been matched and have automatically cancelled the balance as per normal.
The rule to pick up from here could be a Back Bet rule for £1, set to fire ten times with a couple of seconds between firings, with a Matched Bets Amounts Condition set to 'less than £10'
The rule will fire the first time because only £5 matched, the second time because only £6 matched etc etc. the fifth time because only £9 and it won't fire a sixth time because the condition is no longer met
The actual numbers and timings are for you - but hopefully you get the idea.
