Trading out when betting in-running, advice required.

[one click king]

Hi

I am very good at betting in running and I can see a move with my eyes that will often result in a price cut.


The problem I have is I often like to secure a position even if my horse is 20 lengths clear but I find I can only trade out on what if offered or quickly try and lay off for a free bet.


What I need to do is be able to set my own green up price and not hope others offer me something.

I can make a good profit every year with what I do but I am wondering if it is possible to be more consistent. I can watch all races every day and winning £7 a race 10-12 times a day 4 to 5 days a week is a good start.

I haven't used other parts of the software for a while, so can someone give me a bit of plain English direction to how I used the tick offset part and auto green. There is so much new stuff in the software that I am a bit lost now.

Does anyone else do the same?

Sounds as though you need to set up one of the Custom Columns. Currently do you use one of these to make your initial bet ? If so simply enable a Tick Offset (tick or percentage) and whether or not you want it to Auto Level so you make the same profit irrespective if the horse wins or loses.
The alternative way is not to enable a Tick Offset and just wait for the profit to reach what you're happy with and click in the respective Level Profit box.
Sometimes this is the best way to ensure you maximise the potential profit. I think you need to give just a little more info on your style so it will be easier to decide which method would be best.

My sticking point is finding a way just to launch a bet in at odds that will secure at £7 win. Say I have £40 at 2.2 it needs to work out how many ticks it needs to secure a £7 profit all the way round. The problem is that if I click at 2.2 the money left up might only be something like £4 at 2 £12 at 1.7 and then £3 at 1.23, so I get stuck with trying to match at 1.23 and that amount is not enough to make a level profit in between. I need to catch people trying to back what I am seeing at odds I want to offer, and not try and catch what someone else is laying

The alternative way is not to enable a Tick Offset and just wait for the profit to reach what you're happy with and click in the respective Level Profit box. - That is the problem, when I click on a profit in the green column no prices are there when desperately needed.

Have you looked at using the program with the staking set to 'payout' rather than stake ? That'd give you more options if you're generally backing first. You could then lay to a liability equal to your win using whatever odds you wanted either by customs columns/ladder/odds boxes. Plus if you do need to use the greenup button it now cancels existing bets first so no worries about getting double matched in quick moving markets

This is the problem I have and wish there was some more up to date videos, as what you say above sounds logical but at this time I have no idea how to carry out what is said above properly. I'd love a video to explain exactly what you describe above because I fear I am going to miss out on the right thing to do.

I am sure I can change it to payout but it is the next part I am unsure about, like i can then lay liability equal to my win etc etc
