Hi,

I have an interesting problem.

So I have set up my strategy like the following:

- Bet Type Lay, no other restrictions
- Odds Range
- Lay stake is liability
- Ask for 2 ticks better price
- Cancel after 50 seconds if unmatched
After Bet:
- Hedge on 5% profit
- Hedge after 300 seconds
- Bet delay 30 seconds

Event: Tennis
Market: Match Odds

Therefore it's supposed to lay on any player in the range of odds.

Because of other strategies I have worked with, I figured it would open only one active bet per runner. That's at least how other strategies behave naturally for me.
So to my surprise it started opening A ton of trades instantly and just keeps going.

I can use max matched/unmatched bets for that, but I would like to know:

Is there an inherent difference from standard Bet Type Lay/Back to Bet Type on Fav Position? Because that is the only difference I can see. And when I used Bet Type by Fav position with "One bet per Fav Position" UNchecked. Even then it does open only one initial bet and waits for the hedge before it does anything else.

So to clarify: I am confused on how to control the amount of active bets, because my different strategies are behaving completely differently to each other even though they have almost the same setup.


Furthermore, none of my After Bet Rules are triggering.
No hedges and also the delays are not taken into account.

It just opens a new initial lay one after another without delayand never closes them, even though the profit or time limit is reached.

Thanks for the help in advance. It's really confusing and I am using the forum and manual as much and best as I can, without luck.

You should use "Market conditions->Unsettled markets" and set it to 1, that will limit strategy to only one active initial bet at a time.

I am unsure which bet type rule you used, it is best if you post screenshots. But "default bet type" rule would allow strategy to bet on all selections at all markets.

If strategy is placing bet on the same selection again and again then you can limit that at strategy "Edit" form, by setting 1 bet per selection.

If strategy is placing bet on different selections but only one bet per selection then you should use "Unsettled markets" rule to limit number of active markets at the same time.

Bet delay of 30s might allow strategy to place new bet after 30s, so you should probably remove it and keep only hedge rules so that next initial bet is only placed after hedge is executed.

Thanks! I started playing around with it a bit more and am getting closer. I will come back to this with more info / questions if I get stuck in weird behaviour.

But yeah, it looks like different things like bet delay are not working well with things like hedging. It just does not trigger when bet delay is active.
