Hi. I've been trying out automation in practice mode - love it - only problem was the occasional double bet mentioned in other posts. Today I was using the latest Beta (v 1.30.2) in live mode with small bets. The rules were running on all UK races and are based on Peter's scalping video example. It starts 5 minutes before the off backing with an offset, repeating if there are no unmatched bets. Finishing 10 seconds before start time, then and 9 seconds out, greens up. Worked perfectly except on one of today's races 2 back bets were issued at exactly the same time (and filled) 5 minutes out. The offset bets were not filled because the odds moved up and stayed there. Then two greening lay bets were issued at exactly the same time. One of them did the job of greening up to a small loss the other resulted in a relatively large loss (~£10 :-)). The only explanation I have is that the rules were triggered twice at the beginning. Any help?

Due to cycling and / or timing issues it is possible for a double bet to enter the market. So in version 1.30.2 we added an additional condition, 'time since unmatched bet' if you put this condition into your rule it will be impossible for two bets to enter the market at the same time.

We haven't done a video on this but perhaps should do to replace the original video.

Hi Bet Angel, and thanks for the response. Would that also explain why I got two greening-up Lays?

Cheers.

I presume the condition is 'Unmatched Bet Time condition'? Should this be set to greater than 0 to prevent double bets?
Thanks

Malpaus,
I have the same problem and I have added the unmatched bets condition and still double bets.
I have also found that it gets stuck on 1.01 and 1000 when it tries to green up.
Let me know how you go.

This is down to placing bets below the minimum.

See here - http://www.betangel.com/knowledge-base/ ... 01-or-1000

If your account has insufficient funds (for a back bet you will need £2 PLUS your small bet amount) or the price is already at 1.01 or 1000 then placing bets below the minimum will not work.
