Retain unmatched bets if liability limit exceeded

[moodysrus]

Hey Team,

Stumbled across a situation today and hoping it could be considered for a possible tweak. The scenario was

• Opened trade with back bets

• Placed several offset Lay bets at assorted prices

• Servant switched all unmatched offset bets to 'Take SP' (just in case race jumps early)

• At post, Guardian tried to Green, but as the position now exceeded the default $1000 'maximum liability' limit, the Green function didn't place any bets (this is ok)

• *but* the Greening function still cancelled all my outstanding lay bets.

Would it be possible, in the event the Greening bets would exceed the maximum liability limit, for BA to not cancel any unmatched bets? I would have much rather taken the SP price than not had any closing position in the market. Needless to say, the horse lost

Or could the maximum liability limit be made a little smarter to understand we are trading the market, and these are closing trades and the liability is not anywhere near $1000. And yes, I have now increased the limit to avoid a similar scenario but that just feels dangerous !

I am trying to think of a down side to these suggestions. I am sure there is one....

Thanks in advance
