Hi

I have experienced 2 instances within the last 5 weeks when bets have been triggered that were not part of the automation file. The automation is set to fire 1 bet only (set to trigger once only when the conditions are met) @ £2. The automation works as expected for 99% of the time. However, on these 2 occasions one bet was triggered each time at £6, oddly these two random events were identical, both placing lay best at £6 completely out of scope of the parameters and conditions of the automation. There is no logic to this, the automation file is fairly basic and does not contain any triggers for these bets, there are no £6 triggers or settings to fire these off. Could this be a bug? Fortunately they both won but had they lost I would have been down about £120 per bet. I know I haven't included the automation script but I can assure you these bets should not trigger. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Without seeing the settings used in the rule and the Bet Angel log its difficult to say what could be happening

It would be impossible for the software to just trigger a random bet so whatever it is must be lurking in the rule/s somewhere, the fact its using £2 stakes and both occasions saw a £6 bet placed suggests more than one rule is triggering at the same time, but that where the log comes in as that will tell us if its one rule misbehaving or multiple rules triggering at once under exceptional conditions

Do you have pre-set bet sizes? It could be that you accidentally clicked on the screen (Ive done this)
