Last night i was trading Football and Tennis with automation. Unfortunately i set My Automation rule the same for everything.
Now here is the thing, one of the footy matches i traded went to 2-0 and my tennis rule specification was to be 2 points ahead of the oppenent.
It fired a bet into the footy market. now i dont know if it was a fluke or not yet, but the game finished 2-0 and my trade/bet was succesful.
I did not see this happen as i was out last night, but was wondering if anyone else had Mistakes that turned out ok?

Was it excel or guardian?
Im not sure if it matters but with guardian the rule should not have fired based on a score line as score line conditions are only appliable for tennis matches because football match scores cant be pulled into guardian.
I have asked if football score conditions could be included but was told its down to expensive data licences why it can't be done just yet.

I once made an inplay bot for horse racing and i didnt program it right, it fired all the bets at once with was at least half my bank at risk, i tried to get out but i had set a limit on how much i could bet and it wouldnt let me cash out, thankfully it won and it's still the most i'v won on betfair :)
