Ive made a L2B bot which was firing absolutely fine. Ive changed the parameters for the last few races and its been taking the back bet before my lay bet. Probably very simple solution. Ive changed it so lay bet goes in (custom % below actual SP) for 20%.
I have an offset bet with greening and stop in global. How do i stop the back bet being taken before the lay does?
If the odds dont drop to the 20% i presumed the bet wouldnt happen? Thanks

How ever long you want

If you want the opening lay bet to remain until filled just enter something like 99999 as the number of seconds
