I have been trying to come up with a rule for scalping certain games in the under/over 2.5 goals section, with help from a few users on here, as I have only just joined BetAngel.

When I am trying out (only using practice mode at moment) and using say 5 games running at the same time, I noticed yesterday that one of the games (the last one in the list if that is anything to do with it) didn't green/red up, can anyone tell me why this is?

Also, any improvements on the attached rule would be really welcome, thank you,

I can't really say why one of your markets didn't green up. More information is required. Such as a screenshot/video/copy of the log and probably more.

Step through the rules & conditions and try to understand what the computer was being asked to do. Try to understand in what circumstances will the last bet not fire. You will probably see the answer.

Your automation rules file has take SP on unmatched bets tied with a back rule that has offset. You may come across an issue here where the market is suspended and only the initial bet has fired and remains unmatched. Once the market turns inplay, the offset will not fire as this action is cancelled. You might want to beef up a few conditions.

But whenever a new rules file is put together it is common for it to not behave as expected the first time. Spend some time refining it and try to trap any possible unexpected behaviour by stepping through the rules one by one.
