Betfair SP help with multiple bets

[UselessBettor]

I have a question before I go and change my bot.

If I was to have multiple bets on a horse (lays) and the liability of each is less then $30 but the combined total is greater then $30 and they both are marked as to go to market on close SP will they both be rejected or will they be added together?


For example I attempt to lay a horse on the exchange at : (same horse)

$20 at $5.00 (convert to Market on Close SP bet)
$20 at $4.50 (convert to Market on Close SP bet)

The total liability of each is less then $30 minimum liability but combined they are $40 which is enough.


I am thinking they will be rejected as not meeting the minimum.

I can test this myself if no one knows the answer but thought I would ask first.

Hi, UB.

I am under the strong impression that regardless of the total outlay, that if any horse is tried to be layed for less than the minimum $30 S.P. then all Lays on the screen will be rejected (none accepted) until the offending horse is wiped from the screen or changed to at least $30. In fact I believe if you increase it to $30 then you have to look at another screen and then come back to the original screen and input the info again.

I've sometimes accidentally inputted less than $30 and have had to go through all this rigmorole just to get into the screen, and start all over again.
