We are working on a new manual.

It's another form of stop loss. In your screenshot it means that if the best lay odds go down to 2.48 or below then a back bet will be placed at 2.48 less the number of ticks specified in ladder preferences (see "right click stop loss" in ladder preferences). The stake used will be the total matched lay stake.

The same applies to the marker on the left. If the best back odds go up to 2.5 or above then a lay bet will be placed at 2.5 plus the ticks specified in preferences using the total matched back stake.

Sorry I forgot to mention. It also cancels all unmatched bets for the selection before placing the stop loss bet.

Thank you for the replay. Ok, so as I understand it is a manual stop loss, right?

Hi :)

may I please also ask what happens if I right click this function and put the
stop loss in BEFORE any other bets? Will it be ignored or still work later?

Thanks - Michael :wink:

It can still be triggered, but because it uses the net stake, if nothing is already matched then no bet will be placed. Try it and you will see what I mean. Once it is triggered it cannot be triggered again.

Thank you Gary :)

I think I have got the hang of it now - even if I trigger it myself all unmatched
bets disappear too - I personally have been a bit worried about this in the past
in case I ended up with matched bets which I did not want.

Ttfn - Michael :wink:

Just adding to this query..I've used the manual stop loss function quite a bit but wanted to find out if you can create a sliding stop loss in the same way? ie. if I right click on a specific back/lay price and then tick sliding and number of ticks under the stop loss tab at the top? Or can you only place a sliding stop loss BEFORE you place a bet/lay?

Apologies if this is a stupid question.

The right click stop loss does not work in conjunction with the main stop loss settings therefore you cannot have a sliding right click stop loss.

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.
