Stop loss, how does it work?

Postby galisgos » Sat Mar 12, 2011 6:30 pm

Hi, I'm new. I was just interested in the stop loss.

If I had laid a football team at 3.8, what would be the most reliable way of making the stop loss at 3.6. I would prefer it so that the team I laid goes to £0.00 and the other team and draw show the loss (instead of an even loss out of all three).

Is that the 'sliding' or 'level loss' option. Also, if you have position open and then there is a goal, what happens to the stop loss then, is it cancelled?

Thanks.

Sorry, but the stop loss feature does not do what you want. It can either spread the profit across all selections or back the same team using the same stake so that there is a loss if that team wins and break even on the other outcomes.

See the user guide here for an explanation of the stop loss feature.

The stop loss is not cancelled. It will still trigger if the odds go down.

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.
