Using Back the likely winner automation and AS Grab a Green Servant

[maxopropos]

I am trying to make some small profits using the Back the likely winner automation file (by Dallas) in combination with the AS Grab the Green servant file (to ensure that a profit is definetely locked in). It worked a few times however on occassion even if the Back the winner selects the correct winner I end up with a small loss. Below is a sample log. Is anyone abole to explain please?

04/11/2025 13:15:37: Market is in-play
04/11/2025 13:15:37: Market has been unsuspended
04/11/2025 13:18:13: [AS 24] : Automation Servant ( AS Grab a Green ) Started
04/11/2025 13:19:30: [G_Auto 1] : £ 10.00 Back bet placed on Adrienne at 1.25. Fully matched at 1.25. Ref: 407909430288
04/11/2025 13:19:32: [AS 24] : Greened up Adrienne by Laying 10.33 at 1.21

You've started the Servant twice, once sometime before the market went in-play then again a few mins after

So you had two servants doing the same job and each placing a green up bet at exactly the same meaning you'd effectively opened a new lay position with a stake of £10.33 @ 1.21

Oh I see, thanks for the reply Dallas. While on the topic, my thinking is instead of working with the servant I just prefer using the Greening and Trailing stop option with the Back the likely winner automation file...my question, what would be the best settings (n terms off offset ticks, stop trigger, place at ticks and offset batches, to guaranteed highest profit and a minimal stop loss (if things go the other way?). Apologies if this all sounds a bit naive, I am still a newbie and appreciate all help.
