Having selected a market, the Market Grid to the right of the Market Tree will be populated with the best 3 back and lay prices for each selection name in the particular market.
The prices will be refreshed according to the Refresh Rate that you have selected (default rate is 1 second).
Just like the native Betfair site you can click on any of the prices to place a bet.
If you have Verify Bets ticked, a popup window will open displaying the odds, stake and profit/liability.
You can adjust the odds and/or stake at this point before the bet is placed.
Otherwise if the Verify Bets is unticked the bet will be placed immediately at the odds that you clicked on for the amount shown in the back/lay stake column providing you have sufficient funds to cover the bet.
The black bar at the bottom of the application screen will show details of last action.
The Bets Manager grid, just below the Market Grid, will display your bets for the selected market.
You will notice that each market contains a header bar just above the column headings.
This bar displays the market name and some icons on the left hand side of the bar.
The icons function as follows:-
Display Betfair Market Information
Display Popup Ladder Interface
Open current market in a new Tab Page
Open a window to display Betfair Live video for the current market (where available) (See Betfair Terms & Conditions)
Cross Matching Calculation is Off
Cross Matching Calculation is On
Also on the header bar you will see a figure in brackets which indicates the number of selections followed by a second figure which indicates the number of winners that are paid out on so in the case of place markets on horse racing will display the number of places.
The pre-defined stake boxes (6 for back and 6 for lay) can be clicked on to quickly change the stakes in the Back Stake and Lay Stake columns.
The pre-set amounts in the stake boxes can be changed by double clicking on them.
If you require more space for the actual Grid to be able to display more selections then you can right click in the blue header bar anywhere where the white text market description is to bring up a context menu which allows you to hide/show the stake buttons area and also the column headers.
The columns in the grid can be resized or repositioned.
To resize a column, move the mouse pointer to the right hand side in the header bar until you see the mouse pointer change to a double headed arrow.
Whilst it is a double headed arrow, hold down the left button and drag left or right to resize.
To reposition a column, click on the column header and whilst holding the left button down drag left or right and you will see a blue line appear between the column headers to indicate where the column will be positioned.
Releasing the mouse button will reposition the column.
You can also change the height of the rows in Grid Preferences.
