Partially matched bets

[zemedelec]

Hello,

lets say I have a bot running and if some conditions are met it places a bet with BACK-F10 trigger. So far it worked great, but I experienced some troubles yesterday - the bet was partially matched, and the rest was cancelled after 10 seconds, then bet ref column was "cancelled" and trigger was still BACK-F10, therefore no more bet were triggered as my CLEAR command did not clear anything

My questions:
1) is this CANCELLED message in bet ref column normal in this situation?
2) how can I make sure that my bot will place rest of the partially matched bet at best odds available? Shall I use BACKR?

Thank for advice.

1) Don't know what happened there. If it was partially matched then the bet ref should have remained. CANCELLED should only appear if the bet ref no longer appears as an unmatched bet. CLEAR will clear anything so it should have removed "CANCELLED".

2) After issuing CLEAR another BACK trigger should be sufficient. BACKR only works with completely unmatched bets.

Thanks Gary.

Just to doublecheck, if I use BACK-F10 and got partially matched then:

a) After 10 seconds, unmatched part is cancelled?
b) In bet ref column, there is a bet ref no. of matched part?
c) After CLEAR, I can use BACK-F10 again, only with adjusted stake (original - already matched)?

Thx.

That is correct. When the bet is partially matched it has "P" appended and after fill or kill "P" will be removed.
