So that 3% on the book made £23,000 difference in the stakes?

The first screenshot shows over £6,000 on the favourite and the second one shows £115

That sounds right to you?

That's because you are backing every horse, apart from the outsider. However, the outsider may still win the race, in which case you are fooked because in order to get what you want with locking in £20 profit on the top horses, you are risking £443 that the outsider doesn't let you down
My point is when I was asking for £10 return the stakes were £23,000

Why do you think that was wrong?

That's because the book was 104.7% - if you're going to back every selection bar one, when the book is 104.7%, then you are never going to come out of that unscathed

Your system stinks (unless you modify the prices you want to back at), it's not the software

You call me lazy and reply with "Read the manual" instead of typing a couple of sentences to explain something.

The PDF file is 351 pages. You want me to read all of them?
When I first started I tried to back a horse at odds of 1.01 and it said I had to stake £1000 to win £10, which is ridiculous! Thankfully someone read the manual for me and explained the whole thing in a less than 120 characters. Now I can click almost anywhere and it justs adds money to my bank!

knowledge is work

To truly know something you must do the work yourself...
