Stop loss

Why, when I have my stop loss set at 3.91 did it first trigger at 3.8, but then the matched bet odds when out progressively to 6.2 to match the last bet? ( level loss ticked )

Sorry, I don't understand the question. Could you possibly list the bets including the original from your statement? You haven't said whether the first bet was a back or lay.

Sorry. The original bet was a lay bet. There was 33 back bets placed, the first at 3.8 and the last at 6.2. The average was 4.18. If the first bet matched was 3.8 does that indicate that that was as low as the price went?

[GaryRussell]

Are you saying the program actually placed 33 back bets for the stop loss (it shouldn't be doing this) or are you saying it was matched in 33 transactions at varying odds (you would only see this by looking at the Betfair website, it's not displayed in Betting Assistant). If it was the latter then it must have gone as low as 3.8 and you got matched at higher odds due to Betfair's "best execution". You see this situation all the time in play.
