Conditional place only bet of £2 but only 0.06 placed

[lew]

Hi, hopefully you can answer my question. I wanted to test the Betting Assistant's conditional betting facility in play. So I placed a conditional bet of just £2 on a horse at odds of exactly 1.05, the horse won its race but a bet of only 6 pence was placed.

Is this because only 6 pence of the £2 was matched in play, if so is there some other setting I could have used to ensure the whole £2 got matched?

As it was I did not win anything nor did I lose anything.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm sure it would have placed the full £2. It wouldn't just place some random amount so it has to be that it was partially matched. In the conditional bets screen enter a negative value in the tick offset column. If you enter -5 for example it will place the back 5 ticks lower. This will give you a better chance of being matched, but there are no guarantees. There is also the chance you will be matched at lower odds, but that is the nature of in running.

Gary,

Thank you very much. I will try something along the lines you suggest.

Cheers
