Place Lay Bet Fired Twice

[Eldog]

Morning all,

I've got an automation rule file set up which checks the price of a selection Nominated selection then places a lay bet on said selection 10 seconds before the off. The size of the lay bet varies depending on the current lay price at 10 secs before the start of the event.

I've ran this for months with no problems, however yesterday I was surprised to see that one of the races had wiped out all of my profit for the day as it had fired the bet twice, then gone on to lose.

I'll paste the logs below, and attach a copy of the Rule file but I would be grateful of any input regarding why this may have happened, and any means I can implement to avoid it in the future?

Your 2nd rule triggers if price is less than 7.6 and 3rd rule triggers if price > 7.4 which is consistent with the log, i.e. if the price of the nominated selection changes from 7.4 to 7.6 in right time frame then both rules will fire?

edit - and the bot checks for matched bets, the 1st bet placed was initially unmatched so that might be the issue.

Ah understood - Thank you. Is there a better condition to use which would pick up both matched AND unmatched bets?

You could use the unmatched bets condition as well? (so use both conditions)
