Odds not met

I was looking to get 4.0 on John Isner against Almagro, but the odds peaked at 3.75 before the game commenced, so no bet. My other bet today is on Haase v Wawrinka. I got on Haase at 4.7 but so far Wawrinka is dominating the game and my counter bet is way off the odds. I can't see this one turning around.

Update: I learnt a a valuable lesson here. I was following the Haase v Wawrinka match on Betfair, and as the odds on Wawrinka tumbled to 1.07 I was really tempted to salvage what I could and close my position. However I restrained that impulse and let the game play out. Haase must have upped his game as eventually my counter bet at 1.44 on Wawrinka was triggered. Green! Wawrinka went on to win the game and £1.09 was added to the bank. The moral is set and forget, and trust the system (or at least until it proves otherwise).
Ideally i need some software that can place an 'if then' bet; if the first bet is matched then place the counter bet. This must be available, I will investigate.
