A Mind of its own?

[oddson]

I have been using Betfair Trader for a while with no problems except that I wanted the offset that was on another piece of software and is now on BA so I

downloaded BA Yesterday .

Using the tick offset I fired a bet at £2 00 at odds 3.3 it fired the reverse bet £2.03 all well and good but then without me doing anything at all it

fired another lay at 3.3 which I tried to reverse by unticking all and placing a manual bet .Guess what it reversed again. How do I stop this continual reversing? (This was my second attempt as last night the same thing happened but I thought that I must have done something inadvertantly)

I closed the program and fired up B Trader and placed my saving bet.Phhew!!! This thing is dangerous.

On another less impotant note, how do you alter the price in those 6 boxes on the ladder screen?

Many thanks

Nigel

Explanation of how Tick Offset works in Betting Assistant

Using this option, i.e. the tick offset value is not zero, when you place a bet and once it is matched then an opposite bet is triggered at lower or higher odds depending on whether your initial bet was back or lay.
So for example, you initially back a selection at odds of 4.0, a tick offset of 1 would trigger a lay bet at 3.95 being the next lower odds that are valid and a tick offset of 2 would trigger a lay bet at 3.9 and so on. It is important that you are aware that if the initial bet is partially matched then the remainder is cancelled and the offset bet is placed at the matched stake.

On another less impotant note, how do you alter the price in those 6 boxes on the ladder screen?

To change the values double click on the boxes.

I still think there should be a checkbox for tick offset as well as the number of ticks selector, so you can turn offsetting an and off in a hurry

turn offsetting _on_ and off...

what happened to edit?

Hi Pete,

I have noted your request for a checkbox to turn on and off tick offset.

Cheers,

Super -thanks

[oddson]

Thank you for your reply Mark and if PeteB's suggestion will allow a quick switch to allow single trades to be placed without an automatic reverse bet then I think that is an essential addition.

I am getting to grips with this ladder trading however and I like it.
