Hi, I want to test a strategy on greyhounds and would like to take sp on all unmatched bets but it seems they remain unmatched even after the race starts. I'm in practice mode.

The back bets must be for a minimum of £1 and the lay bets for a minimum of £10 liability, I believe. Though I should also mention that the win market usually works OK with SP bets, though the place market often leaves them unmatched in y experience.Inforaquid wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 11:24 amHi, I want to test a strategy on greyhounds and would like to take sp on all unmatched bets but it seems they remain unmatched even after the race starts.

My stakes meet the conditions but nevertheless bets marked as take sp remain unmatched. I wonder if it only happens in practice modeCrazyskier wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 12:30 pmThe back bets must be for a minimum of £1 and the lay bets for a minimum of £10 liability, I believe.

Is there anyone who might know the cause?

Have you tried actual 'SP Bets' rather than just 'keep SP' ticked? This should work for win at least - it does for me.Inforaquid wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 1:09 pmMy stakes meet the conditions but nevertheless bets marked as take sp remain unmatched.

I also work on win markets. I haven't tried it yet but I'm trying right now.Crazyskier wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 4:40 pmHave you tried actual 'SP Bets' rather than just 'keep SP' ticked?

Ok, now I place sp bets on any selection that meets the conditions, the stake is a stored value.
Let's see if it triggers.

SP bets successfully placed but after the start of the race the stake and odds both remain 0

All right, that's it, I'm summoning Dallas by the power of the megathumb.

Remain zero? What were they when the bet was an unmatched TakeSp bet ?Inforaquid wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 1:09 pmSP bets successfully placed but after the start of the race the stake and odds both remain 0

I meant that they appear as zero in the matched bets section. The bets obviously were at sp and the stakes a stored value as mentioned above.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 6:00 pmRemain zero?

Yes, the bets were changing status to take sp according to the log and automation trigger counter, but I did as Crazyskier suggested and placed the bets directly at SP, I have all greyhounds races for today in Guardian at refresh rates of 20ms restricted to only the last two minutes before each race.

No, I have a feeling I'm going to lose money. This happens every time I leave the house and now it's going to happen when I'm still in the house. Doesn't seem like the right direction at the moment. I don't get as upset when I lose virtual money though.
