In-Play

[Shaun]

I have a question, if i have layed a runner @$3 and wish to put in a back price of $1.50 to stay in play how should i do this.

i tried and when i put in the back price it just matched it at the best back price at the time but this is not what i want it to do.

The idea is like an insurance bet, if the price gets down to $1.50 in-play there is a good chance the runner will win that's why i want the back bet, but if the runner blows out then there is a better chance it won't win so the back bet won't get matched.

It's impossible, Betfair don't provide this facility, they only offer "best execution". Your only option is to use conditional betting or Excel to trigger the bet when the price drops to 1.5. Your will also have the problem that your bet will not get matched frequently because if it's going to win the price will continue to fall so after the in play delay is imposed it's too late. Most times that you do actually get matched at 1.5 it will go on to lose.
