Is there a way of placing bets with stake below 2€?
In dutching it is done automatically, but not on the other tools.
Thank you.
Placing small stake bets
Let's say you want to back with stakes 1 EUR at odds 2.50.
1. Place back bet with odds 1000 (or whatever very high odds which will not be matched) and stake 2 EUR.
2. Go to the bet and change stake from 2 EUR to 3 EUR. After that, you will have two bets, both at odds 1000, and stakes 2 EUR and 1 EUR.
3. Cancel bet with stake of 2 EUR.
4. Go to remaining bet of 1 EUR, and change odds from 1000 to 2.50. Now, you have bet of 1 EUR at odds of 2.50.
If you want to lay, the same procedure applies, except in step 1, where you need to offer odds 1.01 instead of 1000. Pay attention not to mix it.
Also pay attention that Betfair doesn't approve this procedure; if they wanted smaller stakes, they would probably allow it. They say that if you do it way too often, they will first warn you, and then suspend your account.

I never knew that
I'd be interested to know what level of bets you would need to do before Betfair warned you

I have been placing bets lower then £2 for 2 and half years, I have never had warnings from betfair to stop me for doing that. when I started I have also placed bets for £0.02 £0.05 £0.10 almost everydays to lern the game but, as i said i never been warned that was not allowed.
Nah, didn't understand what did you mean; sorry for being silly!Sibolo wrote:Thank you for your reply, in fact I knew this "trick", but what I meant is if it can be done via Bet Angel automatically (fast) in the one-click or ladder interface, and also using the excel link.
I also haven't ever faced any consequences for placing bets below minimum; though, I had found the warning at another software vendor, Market Feeder Pro, and ever since I have been aware of that; I can't confirm if it's true, but it says:LeTiss 4pm wrote:Is that right?
