LAY SP with fixed stakes

[scarlett3]

I've read some of the posts on here and tried a few combinations with LAYSP and LAYSP and values in columns R and S, but I can't get this right. The only fixed target that I can set is liability.

Is there a way to set the trigger (and formulae in columns R and S) such that it is the stake that is fixed when taking the SP prices?

For example, I want to lay horse A to £10 stakes at SP prices, whatever that price may ultimately be. How do I do this?

TIA

that should read "tried a few combinations with LAYSP and LAY-SP"

Can't be done as Betfair only allow you to lay SP bets as a liability not a stake. The reasoning is that the SP is only known once it's been reconciled so by allowing people to use stakes instead of liability they could potentially go over their account balance and expose themselves to far greater liability than they expected.

Your only real options are to lay just before the off when the price hopefully won't change too much , take your chance on getting matched in running once the BSP is known or laying as close to SP as possible pre off then sending a small adjustment bet in running to adjust the end stake to £10.
