bet angel 'force open option'

[billyford1]

What is the advantage of reversing the market on the 'force open' option on bet angel.

[Bet Angel]

If you reverse the book your offer a price to the market and if you have a setting of none you take what is on offer. It's always recommended to ask for a price where possible rather than take one.

Hi
Can anyone provide a more technical answer to describe the process that occurs between betangel and the betfair API when a lay order is submitted using "force open reverse" and how this differs from the "none" setting?

[Bet Angel]

If you use force open you reverse the book, so when you end up backing at the current lay price and laying at the current back price.
