The Take SP amount ($1.18 at 10.05.47 am) is too low. Is it just because of the low stake, or anything else? How to fix?

Minimum liability for a lay SP bet is $30. So if a bet has been nibbled down below the minimum liability you won't get matched on that runner for the lay below minimum. If you are very active then it doesn't matter, it all comes out in the wash (because if that runner wins, which it will at the rate of its SP, then you will have an outsized profit on that runner).

Thank you!, but the liability is already $33.75 (Stake: 6.25, Odds: 6.40)

See I shouldn't have started drinking.

Are you are asking about the $1.18 back bet? That is below the $5 back bet minimum for SP.

Enjoy :D

No, I am talking about the stake of 6.25.

Forgot to mention that it was in Practice Mode....which might be the reason?

Practice Mode. Good question, I am not familiar. I am sure Dallas will be awake soon and your question will be answered.

I've not been drinking yet :) but i'm a little confused too as to which bet you are referring to as your OP asked

>The Take SP amount ($1.18 at 10.05.47 am) is too low. Is it just because of the low stake, or anything else? How to fix?

Which Gazuty rightly said was below the minimum SP for Betfair to accept, but your most recent post mentioned the 6.25 stake?

You are (both) correct! Telling from the log, I realise that I also had a bet at only $1.18 at 10.04.54 am.

I have now reduced the number of Offset ticks.

BTW, since the back bet of $1.18 to odds 34 never was matched (not very surprising), it makes no sense whatsoever to take SP. How to avoid taking SP on this type of Unmatched bets? (Check my take Sp conditions)
