I would like to know how could I place a bet at higher odds than the current odds the market shows.

For instance, a tennis match, odds 3.00 - 1.50 and the players are resting. I would like to place a bet at 3.20 to get the position, and in case the player loses the 1st point, my bet would be taken, is that possible?

Thanks a lot

You can place a bet at whatever price you want, whether it gets taken or not is another matter

It's pretty simple if you use the ladder interface

Right with the ladder interface, but what about the one-click? I think the only way is creating a custom column with the correct settings.

You can custom configure the one click or manual bet screen so you can ask for a price that doesn't exist.

Most people simply add more columns and reverse the book. When you reverse the book you are always asking for a price and if you set that up with fill or kill you can ask for a price some way off the money. There is a five column view on either that will help you do this.
