Question SP bet on Gruss

I'm still doing my research on a suitable product to execute excel connected bets. Not fully automated but triggered manually to place one or more Lay at SP bets. Obviously used to the way you do that on Betfair, but understand that with Gruss and Bet Angel it's different, as per:

You cannot ask Bet Angel/Gruss to place an SP bet directly.

However, you can get around this by placing a bet 'outside of the money' and then set unmatched bets to 'Take SP'.

For example, if you want to place a BACK bet at SP then place the bet at 1000. The bet will remain unmatched unless the market actually hits 1000. Similarly, if you wish to place a LAY bet at SP then place the bet at 1.01. This will remain unmatched unless the market actually reaches 1.01.

Then select 'Take SP ALL' just before the start of the event and your bets will be matched at the Betfair SP
.

Has anyone had experience with this, as reading forum posts, it seems this method doesn't guarantee a fill for your order at times. With placing the Lay bet on Betfair directly you're 98% guaranteed of a fill, dependent on size of liability and pool size.

Cheers
