Hi just getting started on this but would appeciate some help. I've followed the video tutorial re laying the draw automatically and then greening up after a goal. However, how can I set a rule up that will place a back bet on 0-0 after 80 minutes providing of course there has been no goal? The aim being to partially hedge the draw lay so at least restricting any losses.

If this could be done could it be done as a new condition on the existing rule or would I have to load the correct score markets and create a brand new rule on that?

Just wondering if all this could be done and how to set it up? (Also, if there is any better strategy I could follow to hedge the lay?)

thanks

I can't answer you in full as still generally inexperience myself but I do
Know this is a struggle as bet angel has no way of knowing what the current score is as it has no direct score feed. So automating this wouldn't be possible if it relies on the score.

Honestly, you need a better strategy

But if you insist then it's simpler to lay the draw long (yawn) but back the draw short on 1.3 for triple your stake

But as Marc says you have to factor in late changes.

Roughly speaking, the bookie engineers the book to run against late backers every tenth game for those backing the draw at 1.1, every fifth game when its backed at 1.2, every third game when it's at 1.3 etc

Painful but there you are
