Help please … I have two automation rulesets that are in conflict and wonder if there is a solution. With one ruleset (A) I places some bets in-running on multiple selections at out-of-the-market odds to grab my place in the queue. After two of these bets have been matched I cancel any unmatched bets. With the other ruleset (B) I again place out-of-the-market bets but this time I want them to remain until matched and when matched they place offset bets which again I want to be left until matched. Is there a way to identify the unmatched bets in ruleset A so that they can be cancelled while leaving the unmatched bets from ruleset B in place? Or do I need 2 of everything (BA and Betfair)!

I often suffer from this issue and wish for something along the lines of virtual accounts where you can keep automations in separate "worlds"

I have and always will second that. It's the one issue that holds me back the most.

But, I think I may have dreamed up a possible solution. It's not as good and may affect returns such that ruleset A becomes not viable. :( I would appreciate any comments and alternative suggestions.

I could refrain from placing the bets by ruleset A until the LTP equals the price I want and then not place anymore bets under that ruleset once two bets have been placed. The problem I see though is that I will be sacrificing my place in the queue and because I will be at the back of the queue I may not get matched :(

Just found in another topic a reference by Dallas to the parameters in the User Guide for cancelling a bet/bets …

https://www.betangel.com/user-guide/bet ... ters_.html

I'm wondering if with very careful use of stored values and the odds requested I may be able to limit the cancelling to the target bet only. Will give it a try but if anyone has already looked at this I would be grateful to hear.
