I was wondering if anybody could help me with a quick query regarding global settings for a place a lay bet rule in Guardian (for horse racing). I have created a place a lay bet rule in Guardian that I'm applying to particular races/markets. The lay bet is placed a few seconds before the start of the race. I would like to change the global settings for that rule to green up for a L2B at double the lay odds. For example, the automated rule will place a £10 stake on a certain horse at say, odds of 10.0 at the off. I would like to change the global settings for that rule so that during the race/in-play, it then places a £5 bet (so L2B) when the horse hits 20.0 in-running. Resulting in £5 profit.

My understanding is that in Guardian, I go to the edit rules file option. In 'parameters', is the action 'offset bet with greening'? If so, then what do I put in the offset box - what would be the %?

Any help would be appreciated :-)

The global settings can only offset using the same stake or with greening

For what you want (essentially a reverse DOB) which there's a few ways you can do it

Essentially all will require at least two rules in your file

Option 1
On your the lay bet, use the stored value tab to store the lay price with an adjustment of 'X' percent

Then add a back bet rule and on the parameters tab have it place the bet at a Stored Value named (and enter the stored value name you created in your lay bet rule

Option 2
Leave your Lay bet as it is
Then add a place back bet' rule, on the Parameters tab set the stake at half of what you used for your lay bet, on the conditions tab add a 'close trade profit condition' greater than and also enter whatever half your lay state is

Of the two option 2 is easier to set up but it triggers the bet when your profit target is reached so you may end up getting matched at a better price so not always have a perfect profit of half your stake every time

Thank you Dallas for the quick and very helpful reply. I will go with option 2 :-) Can i just check - my lay bet is placed just before the off. Do I get the back bet placed before the off or just after the event starts?
