I am placing lay bets during half time on football matches. Often, like in the example below the lay bet is only partially matched. After waiting 10 mins if the bet is still only partially matched, I want to increase the offered odds by one tick, in the hope it then gets matched. After another minute I would increase again by one tick. I would continue to do this foir the next 5 mins until the bet is matched. If the bet is still not matched I would cancel all unmatched bets.

Can someone tell me the simplest way to do this?

It would need to be done via a servant but setting up the rules to do it will require an intermediate level of experience with Bet Angels Automation and its stored values

>You'd need a stored value to set your initial stake amount
> Then another stored value rule to continually calculate the remaining stake (by subtracting the matched amount from the initial stored value)
>Then the lay bet would place a bet using that stored value as its stake, it would also use fill/kill to kill any remaining amount after 600secs
That rule also needs to set a signal when it triggers
>Another lay bet rule would then need to place a bet using the stored value stake, this rule would need to use a signal changed condition to test its been 600 secs since the signal from the last rule was set, it would also need to set a signal

after that its just a case of repeating that until you have the number of rules for the amount of times you want to place the lay bets

hth

But if you get stuck the general idea (of re-submitting an unmatched bet) is a good one and I could probably add an example to the shared files section, but this wouldn't be until the end of next wee at the earliest
