Q about refresh rate for newbie

[sabrehill44]

What is the effect of a fast refresh rate? What is its advantage?

Also, say I have my refresh rate set at 1 sec and I have bets in play with tick offset managed, will they have less chance of being matched than if I
set the refresh rate at 0.2 secs? In other words will the offset bets get taken more quickly at 0.2 than at 1 sec?

TIA

Obviously the quicker they are refreshed the fresher the information is. We leave this up to the user decide if this is an advntage to them. If you are using tick offset then it will place the offset bet quicker because it will see the matched bet sooner as it only checks the matched status of the original bet on each refresh.
