Over ride Odds Option , How does it work ?

[BENNY97]

Can someone tell me how the overide odds option works , as i thought it worked by placing a bet 1 tick in front on the odds you click on thereby getting your bet matched instantly , this would be ideal for trading when the odds change very quickly and you end up chasing the price trying to get matched but i have had override odds ticked on Betting assistant and it doesn't seem to do anything, could someone explain to me how to get it to work or is it for something else entirely ?
Thanks

I believe it just overides the odds actually being offered. So if there is money on the back side at odds of 10.0, you can set the back odds to 5.0, tick override odds and you will fire a position into the market at 5.0 rather than 10.0

osknows is correct. To add a number of ticks to each bet you need to use the "Offset requests" feature. View the user guide via the help menu and read about this under "Betting Options".

Yes the ”override odds” can be extremely useful in fast moving markets, like towards the end of a horse race. You can set your min BACK, max LAY, and you will take whatever is available down/up to your preset odds.

Was you aware you can also click (and take up/down to that price) on “ANY” of the 3 back and lay columns.
