I’m confident I can build this trigger with a bit of direction thanks, I've already had a play but getting stumped.
1.) I want to build a trigger that’s places a back bet on football x number of seconds before the match start time.
2.) When the back bet is fully matched. Place a lay bet before In play with greening x percent below the matched bet. Keep the lay bet at in play.
3.) My questions are:
a. What is the best way to confirm the back bet is fully matched (Use conditions, Unmatched bets = 0)?
b. What is the best method to get the back bet fully matched before the start?
i. Place the back bet x ticks below the best price?
c. I’m sure its available, but I couldn’t find a rule that says “keep bet In play”
d. I assume its better to place the back bet closer to the start time?
e. A general question not necessarily related to my trigger. When building a trigger do all the rules need to be in order of the triggers function? EG 1. Place back bet, 2. Place a lay bet, 3. Green up, 4 and so on..?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I can help with a couple of these.
"b. What is the best method to get the back bet fully matched before the start?"
Everything has tradeoffs here, so 'the best' way to do something depends on a bunch of other things, but if you want to maximize the chance that you get matched then put the price in a 1.01. This might not be ideal though.
"c. I’m sure its available, but I couldn’t find a rule that says “keep bet In play”"
I dont think that BetAngel has a PersistenceType tag, so you need to do a two-step: 1. Place the bet. 2. Do a separate step of "Take SP" (be careful that the timing of the 2nd step happens at the appropriate times)
"d. I assume its better to place the back bet closer to the start time?"
Not from any of the info that you've given us.
