By Liability - Back Problem

[Dallas]

Thanks for clearing that up.
So that condition does not help me in the slightest.
This leads me to this is there a condition that will stop bets going in at a minimum price then?

The condition is stopping bets going in if the back price is less than 1.50 or whatever you set it, but the back price was greater than 1.50 so satified your condition
Its because there was no lay price (or reverse price) for a nano second after the market reopened to place your bet above so it defaulted to 1.01 (suspected).

Thank i understand that it was my misunderstanding.

Am i right there isn't a condition that would obviously stop a bet being placed at under a specified odds?

You set the price the bet is to be placed at, and it will never be placed below that price.
You choose 'above the reverse price' the unique set of circumstances you then found yourself in which all needed to be true then caused the suspected problem

A) Market needed to be illiquid with barely any money being offered to start with
B) The market needed to have no in-play betting so bets couldn't be kept
C) Betfair would need to suspend the market and remove all bets
D) You need to be placing bets above a reverse price
E) Your bot would have to trigger first before any others that offered any back bets to create a reverse market price

A 'time since market unsuspended' condition even set as low as a second or two as back bet money will have been offered even if at very high odds within no more than a second of your bet triggering giving you a reverse price for your bet to be placed above

Thanks for taking the time Dallas go go through them points.
I will add the Unsuspend rule to the bots.

Also i think it might be wise for me to add it to the suggest for new versions of Bet Angel as i feel it even novices would understand the purpose of this condition

You can add another fixed odds condition, lay price is above 1.01. That will guarantee that there is a lay prices in the market and not defaut to 1.01.

You need to have the same condition for the rule, as the condition you're creating in the bet configuration.

So if your bet is asking for 4 ticks above best reverse, then your bet condition should be checking that 4 ticks above best reverse is >1.5 or whatever. At the moment you're checking oranges and then asking for apples.

That wouldn't matter as long as there is money offering to back it.
If the best back was above 1.50 (to satisfy the condition) the best reverse price would always be above that
