Can I automate bet cancellation after an in-running lay?

[garymarlow]

I'm yet another newbie seeking the generous advice of experienced BA users.

Situation is this. I will be setting up some lays on several horses, trading in play, in a single race. Typically three or four horses at different lay prices. As soon as the first one of these is laid I want BA Guardian to instantly cancel all my other unmatched in-play lays. Can I do this?

For example, I choose three runners in a ten runner race. I offer 2.10 about horse A, 2.75 about horse B and 3.15 about horse C (all prices are below the pre-off market price). As soon as one of those is matched in running (it doesn't matter which one) I wish to instantly cancel the remaining unmatched bets (I realise that occasionally two might be matched simultaneously).

Any advice on how I can build this multiple cancellation trigger into my automated rule?

How big are your lays? You could "Cancel all unmatched bets" IF "Green all Profit <> 0"

This would cancel all unmatched bets if something gets matched, the only problem is that it doesn't know if the full amount is matched. Using excel would allow you to do this with no problems.

Thanks for the advice Linus. Stakes are small at the moment. Will test it out for a while and explore the Excel options in due course if partial matching becomes an issue.

Frustratingly I can't get this to trigger. The lay bets get set up correctly just after the off, but when one of them is matched the remainder do not cancel. I have a separate rule name for the lay part (which is fine), but the cancel all unmatched bets part of the rule isn't working.

The three conditions I have on the cancel action are as follows:

Market is in-play (timed to kick in three seconds after the lay bets are placed as soon as the market goes in play).
Green All Profit Condition is less that £0.00
Green All Profit Condition is greater than £0.00

Any suggestions? I'm not familiar enough with Excel to build it using that method. Happy to learn though if anyone can write it down on here.

Thats impossible, you need two separate rules for the green > £0 and green < £0.

Linus, you've unlocked the mystery for me. I had created two conditions on the same rule to try to effect the green <£0 and green >£0. By making them separate rules it triggered the cancellation of the remaining bets immediately on the race that has just gone finished at Newcastle.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
