In running automation ...please help..

[P1BP27]

Wondering if someone could help with this & is it possible to do?

I have spent the last year analyzing the in running markets & seen that in certain races and courses only one horse gets matched at 2.0 or below.
What I would like to do is be able to do is place an automated back bet in the market when a horse hits 2.0 in running.
I have tried betangel where I do the following

I set current odds 1.01 and odds 2.0 and place at 1.96 on automation rule

A couple of times I have not been matched but seen over £2000 -£3000 has been matched when I am only doing £50.00 stakes. How are these people in front of me as I am not a layer? as in the betfair graphs money waiting to be matched is on lay side not on back side?
The reason for my email is because someone on betfair forum said Betange only puts your bet in as the odds go past, anywhere near the end of the race you have no chance of catching it & that. & they said the following:

gruss software
you may be able to do this with "conditional betting" in gruss
if not , someone can make you an excel sheet to do this automatically
plenty of advice/help on there forum
good luck


So I was wondering if you could help me?

Regards,
Paul

I'm no too sure from your description what actions you are taking, are you requesting odds of 2.0 when the odds reach 1.96?
If this is the case and the horse goes on to win, then I expect what is happening is that the odds reach 1.96 that then triggers your bet to be placed at 2.00. With the in-running delay, this hits the market 1 second later but the odds have shortened in that time and your bet sits there and will not get matched unless the odds lengthen and someone takes your bet as a lay. If the odds continue to shorten, it will only get matched if someone puts a massive lay bet in that sweeps up all the available money up to and including your offer.

If you want to ensure that you get matched, then when your trigger activates, request very low odds such as 1.01 and you can be pretty sure that you will get matched. However, even then nothing is definite as if the odds have shortened to 1.01 in the interim, you may be behind a lot of others trying to back it and you may not get matched before the horse crosses the line and the race suspends.
