Question Re backing Horses in-running

[Stu77]

Hi Gary.

I was just wondering how to back a horse at pe-defined odds in-running using Betting Assistant.

For Example: If i lay a horse at odds of 3.00 pre race but want to Back the horse at say odds of 2.00 in-running for a level loss if he odds drop this low, how do i go about setting this up.

Thanks, Stu.

Before placing the lay bet:

1) Select the stop loss options tab
2) Select "Odds" ("Offset ticks" is selected by default)
3) Enter 2 in the odds box
4) Tick "Level loss"
5) Tick "Enabled"

Don't forget to untick "Enabled" after placing the bet otherwise each subsequent bet will have a stop loss.

Thanks for that Gary. One other quick question.

How do i place a single bet in running to get matched at pre-defined odds.

For example : If i wanted to back the field in-play at odds of 1.50 how would i go about placing this bet pre-race so that it went in play. I tried it using the Conditional Bets function but the bets weren't triggered so i guess i was doing something wrong. Thanks.

I'm afraid if you want to back the first horse which prices reaches 1.5 then it cannot be done with conditional betting as you could end up backing another horse if it's price also reaches 1.5 and I am sure this is not what you are after. This can only be done with Excel triggered betting.

No Probs Gary, Must say, Betting assistant its far and away the best Betting Software i've seen so congrats on all the improvements. I was using the older Betfair trader software up until recently and didn't realise the Betting Assistant had added all the new features.
