Hedge a bet that's been void

Hi
If you are using a rule to hedge bets to make x profit but the hedge bet gets void. Is there a rule you can use to hedge again.

The issue I'm facing is the strategy has hedged the original bet and doesn't need to do anything else. It doesn't recognise the hedge has been void and will still need to be placed again.

Thanks

There is no option to repeat hedge in that case, as strategy moves on once bet is placed and matched.

Situation that you described can happen in football matches, when VAR disallows goal. To prevent hedge executing too early you should add "Hedge->Market conditions->Market status change delay" rule and set it to 180s, so that hedge waits for 180s after market changes its status (suspended->active) before it places hedge bet. This gives enough time for VAR to be activated and Betfair to suspend market if needed.

Perfect. That sounds like the solution I'm looking for.

Thanks
