Complete Newbie Help

[jonto15]

Completely new to the trading area within betfair but thought i would give it a go. Now i need a little bit of help.

As im only starting out i am just using very small stakes £2. Below is the log for the bet/lay that i placed
£ 2 Back bet placed on Santefisio at 7.6. Fully matched at 7.6.( Fill or kill bet with 3 seconds delay. Offsetting by 1 ticks. )
£ 2 Lay bet placed on Santefisio at 7.4.

When this was completed it brought up a trade profit of 0.40p, when i clicked the green button it then spread the price over all horses to 0.08p "during in play"

Now for the questions:
How come when i had the offsetting set for 1 tick it layed at 7.4, should it not have layed at 7.5? 1 tick being .1?

The 0.40p hasnt went into my balance why is this? and what exactly does it mean when you click the green button, what is this doing?

sorry for asking such silly questions

Thanks

To answer your second question, the green button does a little bit of behind the scenes maths which when pressed has the effect of splitting any profit or loss across all runners.

The upshot of this is that whichever horse wins the race you get the "what if" green shown on the one click screen (or red if it went badly).

So for example if you had a few good trades on the favourite and you had built up a trading profit of £2 on that runner pressing the green would convert that £2 pounds you would get IF that runner won into a guaranteed smaller profit whichever horse ends up winning.

Thanks for your quick reply, so after my trade if i had £2 green on "wonkey donkey" and 0.00 "green" beneath the reset of the runners "wonkey donkey" would have to win in order for me to get the £2?

But if i click the green button and it brought up 0.16p in green beneath each of the runners it would mean im guaranteed 0.16p?

After some playing about i have came up with the answer of that i actualy have to click on the trade profit whenever i have hit greening up to make the money that is being showed in the trade profit box?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes that sounds about right although the green value depends on the odds being traded when you green up.

For mcfc; if your remote desktop-ing into windows you should be able to right click the task bar and select Task Manager. If you google it I guess there are quite a few ways to bring it up without CTRL ALT DEL
