General discussion about Bf Bot Manager v3 software for Betfair, Betdaq and Matchbook betting exchanges

Hi,

I have an in play strategy where I'm happy to accept in play odds, but set to cancel the bet after 1 second if not immediately matched as I don't want it sitting in the market.

In a small number of cases (due to the in play delay and market moving) the bot tries to place the bet but as the odds have shifted the bet is not matched and then the bet shows as cancelled (which is correct as per settings).

At this point I'd like the bot to try and place the bet again and then again cancel after 1 second if not matched.

Is there a way to achieve this? I couldn't see it as an option to keep re-trying to stake if not matched first time round.

There is no option for that, but to ensure that your bet gets matched you should adjust "Price settings->Price rules" rule and set it to ask for worse price by 2 or 5 ticks (or more). Exchange will match your bet at best available odds in that moment.
