Sorry about that originally I imported it into a older version of BA so i was nt seeing the 'applies to' section the same way as its shown now.

Anyway just had a look in the current version and your setting up of the rule is actually correct. The problem is just a very minor bug effecting take SP and noms under certain circumstances - BA development are already aware of this and it will be addressed in the next build.
I have amended this rule for you so should work fine now and have just changed the arm times and tested it and its now taking SP as it should so no reason why the close parts wont work in-running.

I did also make the change to the close rule condition for you as i detailed in my original reply and also amended the re-arm time to 2 secs.

(when ever greening in-play due to the 1 sec delay on all bets you need at least 2 secs between re-arms to avoid a further green up being triggered before the first has reached the market)

If you have any further probs just post another message.

Hi,

I am looking to lay a horse in each race at bsp regardless of the price. I have imported the rules file, applied the rule to all markets, and selected a horse in automation nominated selection 2 for each race. However, I'm not managing to match any bets for some reason. Is there something else i need to change?

Many thanks

For some reason the BSP bet is not being placed. I’ve played around with the triggers but my unmatched lay bet is being placed but it’s not being converted to the BSP before the race starts. Can you point me in the right direction?

Are you using min £2 for backs and £10 liability for lays?

Yes that’s correct. I’m only interested in the lays

You still have the lay odds set at 1.01 with a £10 stake (which is a liability of just 10p)
You need to this to something closer to the odds your taking SP at as per the instructions in the opening post so that the minimum liability is met

I wish to modify this file to back at BSP on a specific BSP position, for example 5th Fav, at say All Weather tracks only .. is this something that could be done (as I couldn't find anything for track tyype) by modifying this file?

Thanks

There is no condition to test the track surface or if it's a flat or jumps race.
However, the AW tracks listed below so if you apply a 'race distance condition' you can filter out those which also run NH races at the same course

Chelmsford
Kempton
Lingfield
Newcastle
Southwell
Wolverhampton

… because of the way BF handles the SP lay bets ...
Hi Dallas, I've wondered about this for ages having been on the end of 'unpredictable outcomes' when unmatched bets are converted … could you explain how they do it (and back bets).

It takes the liability your bet is placed at then adjust the stake to still achieve this liability at SP

So if you layed at 2.0 for £50 but the actual BSP was 3.0, then a bet of £25 will be placed (so you still only have the £50 liability), so you need to get your unmatched lay bet as close to the current price as possible so the stake value is not adjusted too much

Thanks Dallas, that's what I thought but I often get unmatched bets that don't get converted to SP and are usually reasonably close to the price at the off. I've just assumed in those cases they have run out of opposing unmatched money to balance the SP price. Could that be so and if not any thoughts why the bets are missed? I've noticed that the unmatched bets usually end up in either Lapsed or Cancelled. For example on Monday I had one bet Lapse where the details are curiously shown as a Lay at odds 1.01 and two bets Cancelled (not by me). Now I admit both Cancelled bets had drifted but nothing was matched and how does a lay at 1.01 lapse! I have asked Betfair about this and all I get is the 'cut and paste' reply of what a BSP bet is.
