Hi. It's possible to stop automation after the race ended but the markets are reopened for photo finish? I don't want automation to trigger when it's photo finish.

ex: if I set a rule to trigger 30 times, I don't want the rule to trigger after the race ended and markets are reopened for photo finish.

I'm not sure markets actually reopen for a photo finish, I thought they just remained open until a result was declared.

But if they behave as you say then set a signal on the first market suspension after its gone inplay, and only bet when that's not set. You might need to do that by testing the time since last suspension <2s at any time after inplay+5s?

(Markets do re-open)

Here you go:

Then add the following condition to your bet-placing rules:

Don't know if it was down to a photo finish but i have seen the following happen more than once and no i wasn't drunk or on speed:

- Layed a horse in running. The odds went down to 1.01 and blank. In theory lost £10.
- Too my dismay, the race seem to restart, so for a laugh i thought, not laying that horse again, layed a different horse which won again.

Fully expected something had gone wrong and i would have had £10 deducted from my balance.

Was totally shocked when my account didn't go down but went up by £95. Was expecting it to be sorted out the next day and transaction reversed but it never was. Last time was 2 weeks ago. But its happened before, i just didn't bother to lay a different runner etc.

Explain that ?

ShaunWhite, thanx for suggestions. From I've seen, most of the times they suspend and reopen the markets when it's photo finish.

Cheers Eightbo for your file. I will test it tomorrow. :)

BetBuddy, maybe you can look at your account history for the bets placed on that race to explain why you didn't lost 10£ and won £95

Thx, It's a while since I've looked at that end of the market so I'm happy to be corrected. (ditto eightbo)
And it's while since I looked at Guardian too so being an expert in neither, I should shut up :)
