Yesterday I had 3 occasions when I had 2 back bets placed on the draw on the same market. All 3 were on the Dutch league & other trades on other leagues worked ok. My question is could this have been because of low liquidity on those markets causing a bet to be triggered again if the first attempt was unmatched at that time. If so would changing the rule to only trigger once solve this or would it create different issues? The Green Up rule is currently set to trigger 3 times with a wait of 20 secs before rearming.

Some Dutch league games are 12 second bet delay. How much are you greening up for? If it's less than £1 it'll be 24 second bet delay so the bet hasn't hit the market and it triggers again. If this is the case change your wait to 30 seconds if not just ignore my reply :lol:

In the latest V1.61 a box has been added which you can tick at the bottom of the 'General' tab to 'Add markets betting Delay' to the re-arm time

Fantastic, thanks for your help, that explains things. I'm still new to this & only using small stakes until i get familiar with things so stakes are small at the moment. Did seem strange that all worked well on Premier League but now understand why.

Betfair do sometimes change the times for one reason or another, but you can also store the value of the Bet Delay
and either use that within your rule/s or have it displayed in Guardian or your watchlist etc
