Laying at SP if SP is between two values
« on: 07 Oct 2020, 10:42 »
Hi

Apologies if i've posted this in the wrong place, I'm new to the forum

I have a trigger set up which lays greyhounds at SP. The upper limit is set to 8.00, so if the lay price goes above that then the bet is cancelled. Is there a way to do the same with the lower price? Currently the trigger looks for the back price to be above 4.00, but quite often it places the bet at the off time but by the time the race actually starts the lay price is less than 4.00, the bet still gets matched and more often than not the bet loses. Is there a way to cancel the bet if the lay price drops below the lower limit in the same way you can if it goes above the upper limit? Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is ruining my strategy.

Hi
Lay at SP or Back at SP bets cannot be cancelled or edited according to Betfair SP Rules
As a suggestion you could try a normal Lay bet with persistence set to Take SP. You can then use a trigger to cancel the bet if the lay price goes outside your range before the off.
Please read the following disclaimer with regards to the information you may request and obtain on our forum. This specifically concerns trigger files and various instructions as to how to implement a strategy.
