Betfair treat the stake used for SP lay bets as your liability (no matter which staking method you had selected when it was placed) for the reasons Shaun mentioned aboveShaunWhite wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 4:18 pmI don't think you can, there's a slim chance BSP might be 1000 and they protect you from that risk by altering the stake to keep the same liability. You might have to set a liabilty that's £10 * the current price and it will stake a tenner?
Rules file laying at BSP
Ok. So I cant then lay a fixed amount at SP , I can only lay for a fixed liability
Essentially I want to lay a fixed amount (10) for a nominated selection. They will all be various prices, the only condition I have is that my max lay price is less than 40.0. I have that in the rules file
I guess my only option then is to take the lay price on offer just before the off time and thats as close to BSP as I can get !

BSP will be in the last traded spread. Have your automation continually check the mid price and either place or cancel your bsp bet as it moves in and out of your range. Then you get bsp rather than a price a random time before the off.
