At the moment if I use a 10 tick offset to lay 10.0 my back goes in at 15 which is fine. However if I go to lay 10 in running and get filled at 2 my back goes in at 2.2 which is a bit low.

So maybe a % tick offset would be better? at 50% my lay of 10 would be backed at 15. My lay of 2 would be backed at 3. This seems far more beneficial to me than a tick offset that we have.

Any thoughts?

I agree. It would be a good option to add as I generally prefer to trade-out (if I'm going to) at a percentage rather than a tick value.

Good suggestion, I think this would be a good addition to the offset function.

Great idea but only as an extra option not a replacement in my opinion.

Are the above decimal odds? A 50% increase on 2 should be 2.5 as 3 would be a 100% increase if you are talking decimal odds.

I have just found this new feature and I must say Gary you are a star as usual. I really do appreciate the effort you put into this for all of us.

Nice one

If i lay a horse for 100 at evs and want to back back 5/1 and have my tick offset to reflect this. Will it back the whole £100 at 5/1 or just a % in order to cover liability ?

thanks

It will back £100 giving you a profit on your selection and no liability on any other selection,

unless you click the "auto level" box in which case it will back with £40 giving you an equal profit on each selection of around £57 depending on commission.

cheers orange.
any idea how the option Ticks = % works ?

I assume it is a certain % of your stake is laid/bet back but just wanna make sure.
thanks
