Default stake in Ladder mode

Postby Brixnmorta » Mon Apr 27, 2009 8:14 pm

Hi,

I have set my default Lay & Back stakes at 50p in Preferences, Staking and that is carried into the Stake field of Field bats tab on the main screen. With Verify Bets turned on, hen I lay a bet in the standard view the 50p value is used but when I lay a bet in Ladder view the bet dialog defaults to £2 and I have to overwrite it with 0.5 before placing the lay. As I want to use the ladder view for all my laying during my trials with lays, how do I force the ladder lay to default to £0.50?

Thanks.

Hi,

Change the preset ladder stake buttons by double clicking on the button.

Hi Mark

Thanks for your reply - the button you refer to, is that the button labelled 'Ladder interface'? If I double click on that as quickly as I can it just flicks from Standard Interface to Ladder Interface and back!Do I not have a quick enough double click or am I clicking on the wrong button?

Hi,

When you are in the ladder view there are 6 stake buttons at the botttom.
The one with the red background shows the amount that will be used for your stake when placing a bet on the ladder.
If you have the default values the first button will show 2.
Double click on this button to change its value.

Regards,
Mark

Hi, on the same topic...is there any way to stop the default stake reverting to £2 every time I select the next race?

Thanks

Sorry, there isn't an option for that. I will add an option to the next release.

Me just curious

Hi :)

I am just curious as to exactly what I am missing here?

When I set any default stakes on the ladder or standard interface they
always remain at exactly the stakes I have set?

Even if I back or lay the field using bets manager or not my stakes
always remain as I set them - the first button will always be the first
default on either the ladder or standard interface - double click, set, done!

If I set them in preferences they are still the way I set them - never do
they revert back to £2? Opening/closing tabs or the program - the same.

Maybe this is of no use to anyone but I just don't get the problem?

Cheers- all the best - Michael :)

The problem is that it selects the first preset stake each time you select a market. Suppose you have £2 in the first stake box and £5 in the second. If you select the £5 stake it will select the £2 stake next time you select a market. If you are always using the first preset stake then you won't notice it.

I have added the option to remember the selected stake.

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
