Good afternoon all,

So here I am scratching my head over a little basic automation I would like to create that I hope will then open my flood gates of understanding in the field of autos.

Very basic Automation based on some manual Scalp like trading I have been doing:

I would like to place a back bet and then a lay bet and green up, three times. I would like to do this on the 1st 2nd and 3rd favourites in competitive H/caps races pre off.

I have managed this to a point, but my query here is how to hold the second and third back bets triggering before the first lay bet is matched, and greened up.

I have done some trawling around looking for a rule snippit or condition detail that will make this happen, but to no avail, my comprehension of these options is still in its infancy.

So guidance will be most welcome. Thank you.

Assuming your market is pre-off (so no bet placement delay), then add a condition that unmatched bets on the selection = 0.
