Hi. For my first try, I want to back the next over (and only the next over) at half time using 2% of my balance with the following conditions: 1. Minimum odds 1.25; 2. Place bet ideally no later than the 55th minute and definitely no later than the 60th; 3. No goal has been scored since half time. I have selected all the overs markets from 0.5 to 8.8. (For now I've just selected all fixtures in Practice Mode, though I'll refine that for live trading.) Here is how my rule looks. Did I get it anywhere near right? Thanks.

Not right at all, since it (obviously!) triggered bets on both the overs and unders markets :lol: More worryingly, it also specified back bets of £20, which is nowhere near 2% of my balance.

You need to tell it what selection to back in the first screen. Currently you have it set to "any".

Well, yes, because I want it to back whatever the next over is. It perhaps doesn't matter if it backs all the overs, since only one is going to get down to 1.25, but I don't want it backing unders as well. There doesn't seem to be a way to differentiate between the two.

Use 'row 2'. Row 2 is always over, Row 1 is always under.

Thanks. Does the rest of it look OK? (I can always enter a manual amount to back, since BA doesn't calculate seem to 2% accurately.)
