Tick Offset is a global option meaning that whilst it is enabled it will be applied to all bets that are placed either from the Grid interface or the Ladder interface.
If you only want Tick Offset applied to certain bets then set a Custom Column where you can include Tick Offset separately.
Using this option, i.e. the tick offset value is not zero, when you place a bet and once it is matched then an opposite bet is triggered at lower or higher odds depending on whether your initial bet was back or lay.
So for example, you initially back a selection at odds of 4.0, a tick offset of 1 would trigger a lay bet at 3.95 being the next lower odds that are valid and a tick offset of 2 would trigger a lay bet at 3.9 and so on.
If the initial bet is partially matched then the offset bet is placed immediately using the same stake as the matched part.
The remainder of the initial bet is left in the queue and if it gets matched the offset bet is fired again using the same stake as what has just been matched.
This process will continue up to the Fill % that you have set in the Tick Offset Options.
So once the Fill % of matched bets is met any remaining unmatched portion will not trigger an offset bet if subsequently matched.
If you tick the box 'Ticks = %' then the offset bet that gets placed will be x percent higher or lower where x is the value that you have set in the Tick Offset box.
So for example, you initially back a selection at odds of 3.0, a tick offset of 50 would trigger a lay bet at 2.0 being 50% lower odds.
The Auto Level automatically levels the profit across all selections on each offset bet.
For example: Back £5 @ 4.6, lay £5.11 @ 4.5, locking in 11 pence (Lay stake = (Back Odds / Lay Odds) X Back Stake).
If you put a value in the Delay box then when your initial bet is matched the offset bet will be delayed by the number of seconds indicated.
If you are using the Ladder Interface, once your initial bet has been placed and is still unmatched there will be a marker on the ladder to show where the offset bet will be placed (see image below). The marker can be dragged up or down the ladder to change the requested odds of the offset bet.
