Is there not an alert in the software that makes you aware that you have not hedged the market 100% when you close it/move to another market?

Likewise, is there not an alert to let you know you have unmatched bets in the market when you close the market/move to another?

That is a feature that has been around for years elsewhere and avoids issues like you have had.

You can set up whatever alerts you like in Bet Angel more than any other software. Check out the shared automation files.

Probably would have paid for itself if it had saved you on that one race you got caught on! Treat yourself ;)

You can get a USB sound card for less than a tenner including postage and plug it alongside any old PC speakers you might have lying around. Nifty little thing about half the size of a cigarette lighter and does the job perfect.

are you using a type writer? Surely computers have built in sound cards these days.

its a custom tower and before i started trading i used this computer for writing music and had a mixing desk plugged in via firewire which had an audio interface built in to the desk. Sold the desk to fund my betfair account and never bothered getting a standard soundcard to replace it. :lol:
