Hi,

Tesitng a new system.

I was wondering how it can be that when the bot fires a lay bet with a liability of 2.5 when certain game conditions are met, to see my liability being only 2.35?

I did the worsen price by 2 ticks condition, so...I am kind of stumped by this.

Any ideas?

Hi AM0751,

Your bet is probably being matched at better price e.g. price changes while bet is being placed so you get better price that creates less liability.

Check BETS history column "Price requested" and compare it with average/matched price.

Hi Rade,

Seems like that is indeed the case. Will this always be like this, or can I adjust so that it always takes a fixed liability, instead of adjusting the liability because a better price is being offered?

That is how Betfair works, so there is nothing that you can do here. Betfair always gives you best available price up to price that you requested.

Hmmm, I see. What do you think, would it help to remove the "two ticks worse" condition?

Hi AM0751,

No, that is not the problem. You are getting better price, not worse, so because of better price you get smaller liability.

It would be best that you post screenshots of your settings, placed bets, staking rules and we will check it all.
