LAYR

[excelhasey]

Does LAYR just mean LAY then Repeat ??

Cos I tried it and it was just laying the same selection over and over gladly mostly unmatched and I could cancel them

Would LAYR-PL5-F10 work ??

It's not supposed to keep laying over and over again unless you are making that happen by removing the "N" that is appended to the bet reference after it has been fired. Can you provide an example spreadsheet where it is just laying over and over again by itself without you removing the "N"? Can you email it to admin@gruss-software.co.uk so I can investigate?

LAYR is provided because betfair do not allow you to update the stake and odds in one request. It cancels the existing bet and then replaces it at the odds and stake provided in columns R and S. The new bet reference has "N" appended to prevent it replacing the bet continuously.

It's exactly as if you used the CANCEL trigger to cancel the existing bet and then used LAY-PL5-F10.

Gary, you say "Betfair do not allow you to update the odds and stake in one request".
For example:

I put a BACK-F10 or LAY-F10 at specific stake and odds, if after 10 seconds the bet is not fired, is allowed to cancel the unmatched bet and put a new one with another stake and odds on the same selection?

Thanks.

Using BACK-F10 or LAY-F10, if after 10 seconds the bet is not matched it will be cancelled automatically by the Fill or Kill modifier. So yes in that case you can just submit a new bet using new stake and/or odds.
