Triggered betting anomolie

Hi Admin
Ive set up a trigger to only bet when the odds are "1.03 or less" on 1 race it bet it at 1.11 and it lost . Is there a way to stop this and only trigger  bet "at 1.03 or less".
Cheers

Are these lay bets?

No , back bets.

hi
the problem is betfair will match all placed bets at the best price.
so you could send a bet out at 1.01, but betfair will match it at the best price available at the time.
if you sent a back bet at 1.03 and the price changed to 1.02, betfair would not match the bet, because the price is lower than your placed price.

That all makes sense now. Thank you!
