Greening too soon

[fishtownraider]

This is a l2b bot that includes a rule to close the trade after 10 minutes if the back bets haven't been matched by then. Most of the time it works fine, but twice today it has greened up early and I can't see why. Any ideas, please?

Your bottom greening rule is set to trigger 10m01s after the first rule has triggered, which will be your keep bets rule at the very latest. So 10m36s into in-play it will green on Guardian's next refresh.

I don't think so, James. The first rule is to lay the first offset bet if a number of conditions are satisfied. The first rule can trigger up to 35 min after Guardian detects the event is in-play. The last rule triggers 10.01 after that. It does work that way in practice (usually).

'After the first trigger from this rules file' tests against the first rule to trigger, not the first rule in your file.

[edit] Sunset Riot won, matching as high as 500. How annoying!

It’s not the first rule in the file, it’s the first rule to trigger. From what I can see, James is correct.

If you add a (Matched bets condition ) > 0 , to the keep bets rule , then that rule will not trigger until the bets have been placed and matched. You may also find that the (goal for overs) rule could also trigger first.

Ah, I see what you mean. I'll do that, thanks.

Unmatched bets on the market >0 would work too, I think?

Your taking the 3rd best market price, you should really shouldn't have unmatched bets, they will only be matched. so it wouldn’t work and need to use matched bets.

I won't have unmatched lays, but the back orders will be placed with the lays and will remain unmatched until the trade closes one way or another.
