Hi
I'm trying my first auto bot and would like to set up the following
Lay bet
Lay at 1.01
Liability 10p
Stake £10
Soccer
Lay under 2.5 goals
Cancel unmatched bets after 87min in play
Any team
I think I'm nearly there ?
Lay under 2.5 goals between times
You just need a 'Place lay bet rule' rule applied to the selection in Betfair row 1,
That is armed
From 00:00:01 after going in-play
till 01:44:00 after going in-play
Then use a market filter to load the O/U2.5 games into Guardian and apply it to them all (which you could do with a short cut key)

I think you can simplify your specification by saying:
- Select Soccer Over/Under 2.5 markets
- Lay Under at 1.01 for £10
- Cancel unmatched bets after 87 minutes
There are a couple of problems with your intended automation. The 87th minute is 87 minutes since kickoff, it doesn't include halftime or added time.
Perhaps more importantly though, if you intend to cancel 3 minutes before the end, if less than 2 goals have been scored with 3 minutes to go the bet will have been taken. If 2 goals have been scored the price will never reach 1.01 by the 87th minute and if more than 2 goals have been scored the market will be closed. So the cancel rule will probably never be needed and you're really just betting on 2 very late goals.
thanks , food for thought just trying something simple to get the practice the rule file is attached, I think it's OK?
I'm looking for 1.01 on matches that are 0-0 for under 2.5 , ideally around 70 to 80 mins only after that I do t want the bot to place a trade , but I'll see how this goes in practice mode first.
just need to get my first bit active and go from there with support from the community

Just some observations...
Looking for it being 0-0 is probably an over complication you don't need if you're trying to find an under 2.5 that's 1.01 at 80mins played.
Bots don't like "around 70 to 80 mins" it will need to be fixed.
Also I think you mean you want the bot to place a lay bet. "trade" usually implies an opening and a closing bet.
But the simplest way to do what you want is just to lay under 2.5 at 1.01 anytime, even at the start, and then just cancel it when you no longer want it.
Lastly remember practice mode is just for checking your bot not running a long test. You're might incur an account restriction if you're consuming data and not contributing via commission if you 'practice' for extended periods.

And I guess you know you'll have to get at least 103 out of 100 right to break even with this and without being selective then laying at 1.01 means you'll probably get 99 out of 100? Straight betting £10 to win 10p wouldn't be something most traders would seriously consider.
I wouldn't sit waiting ages every match to see if my bot is correctly programmed to lose the price of an aspirin 99 times out of 100, only to learn zero about anything. I'd put proper-sized trades on at the start of every match to try to learn something meaningful that can be built on. Afterwards, take the aspirin while figuring out why the bot fouled up, as is normal for my first attempts.
This is practice mode, yes? Get stuck in, man!

With the exception of the Premier league and one or two other major European leagues Betfair will only start opening the O/U markets a few days before the actual KO
For example the English league 1 fixture on 16th Jan still only has Match Odds markets so far - the O/U will probably be opened later today tomorrow
