Automation not following my rules......

[lisawatsuk1]

I hope someone can help me with this.

I've set up an automation to lay horses 5, 6 and 7 at a certain time in play. I have set the rules for it to trigger if selected horse is greater than odds of 7 and less than 22. However, during a race that has just finished, I noticed horse 7 got matched at odds of 75, horse 6 got matched at odds of 44 and horse 5 got matched at odds of 27.
Is it a fault with the automation or is there another rule I need to add?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Betfair will always match at the best price available so, especially taking into account the bet placement delay in-running, it is likely that the horse was available at a higher price and you got matched at that higher price.

Sounds like the market just moved quickly... The in play delay can have a massive impacet.. the rule probably triggered correctly to place when the price was bigger than 7 however if you used the parameter best market price by the time you have incurred the dealy it could well be at 75...

Ok that makes more sense now...so ideally, I should have set the parameters to "fixed price" instead of "best market price"?

Am I not reading that right?

It sounds like you wanted a maximum lay bet at odds of 22?

In which case you shouldn't be getting matched at 75! Euler says BF will match you at the best price available - 75 isn't the best price if you're laying and only wanted to match a top price of 22

On one of the conditions, you should have one - fixedodds <22 (Lay Price), you havent got it set to Fixed Odds - Back Price <22 have you?

Yes, that's correct. I dont want guardian to place any bets if the selection is higher than 22 or lower than 7

Hi peter,

I have checked the rules and it is definitely set to fixed odds <22 (lay price)

It's not the conditions it's the parameters you need to worry about.

The BP may be <22 when the rule triggers but it may be 75 after the delay.
