I was wondering if anyone could help me - I have started using Bet Angel in practice mode. So far its been going ok my only concern though is does BA que your money like it normally would or does your bet just get automatically taken once the odds are met?

For me this is a dealbreaker

Any advice/knowledge on this would be great!!

Thanks in Advance!

In 'real' time BA will queue your money just like any other software, it is actually Betfair that does this. In 'practise mode' your money does not go into the market and as so there is no queue. As far as I know Bet Angel applies your money and pairs it to existing funds in the market. So if you put £10 on a Horse it will get matched when people in 'real' time match it. But the short answer is your money goes into a queing system once it is entered into the market with Bet Angel just like it would on the Betfair website. If you are just starting off stay in practise mode but belive me Bet Angel is by far the best trading software out there, it just takes time to get familiar with it. Small steps..

Right here we go...I have been unsure wether this is the case for Stop Losses for a while now and as it's been brought up I will ask a question of my own. Why, even when, there is £2000 if front of my STOP LOSS money does the market take my Stop Loss funds well before the £2000 has been matched. Its like the Stop Loss money jumps to the front of the queue once the price has been hit. Its quite frustrating really. As usual, if I am wrong I apologise but it does seem to be the case.
