What is the best way to mitigate execution risk? I have an arbitrage trading strategy that places three bets anytime an arbitrage opportunity exists. The problem comes when one of the bets cannot be matched, but the other two can be.

I have considered using the MatchMe feature and setting a liquidity filter to ensure that all my bets are matched, but is there a better method?

Is this pre-off or in-play? What sport? If it's in-play football then I would expect the bet placement delay would be prohibitive and setting the MatchMe function would kill your ROI.

It's in-play tennis.
