help needed with fill or kill for in play fooball ..thanks

[jimbo50]

just getting to grips with the software and am having a problem with the fill of kill when offsetting in play on football..

i place a lay bet when game goes in play then i want to offset with greening by 4 ticks, i let it trigger 10 times with 45 sec bet replacement delay and fill or kill after 38 seconds with 1 offset batch.

number of unmatched bets <1

now on some games it places lay bet (pending fill or kill) shows up and works fine , and then on some games it just places lay bet then leaves it stuck and then stops .

is there something to to with the in play delay or have i got something wrong .


thanks jim

When you say 'leaves it stuck' do you mean it is stuck on the exchange - i.e. it has been matched but then the offset bet doesn't fire?

Also, what stake and prices are you asking for when this happens?

Can you provide more details? What does the log say? Is there a Betfair bet reference (this would show it at least reached the exchange).

thanks for the reply.
the bet is placed with the fill or kill option ticked with a offset with greening, now when the bet is placed it goes in and if does not match straight away will just stick there and the fill or kill does not kick in and cancel and resubmit , and when it does fill it does not offset th

now on some in play soccer markets it works perfectly as the rule is set up, and there is no problem at all.

but on some it just wont work with the fill or kill.

i was using it on to separate football matches with exactly the same rule set up (i checked this over and over again) 1 market was filling and killing and the other one was not,it is so frustrating..

WHEN I DONT WORK I GET THIS:
