hello, am new to bet angel, i want to know if you can create a option to lay SP at a certain price, like if i back £10 @ odds of 5 and lay odds was 4.6 , i want to lay £11.11 based on my bf comms 3%, or say £5 @4.6 ,lay £5.56 i looked at the quick calculator but it only offers greening/hedge or some other figures, thanks

I'm not quite sure what you're asking RE you bf comms could you clarify?
Once the lay bet has been matched are you wanted to be left with an over-lay?

yes as an example to calculate the overlay "USE Back" figure so normally lose nothing if wins and something if lose figures the greening on the bet angel does the equalise figures. i used to arb Back at bookies then lay with comms but am wanting to try this method of overlaying if you understand what i meant. i have attached a spreadsheet which i used to use to keep records and calculate the figures based on which bf commsion i was on. if u have a look at my sheet and on main use the Back figures that what i am trying to get at on bet angel thanks

i am wanting to try back a few horses before off like 10mins before race then set a lower lay odds figure in say 40% lower and have it take SP if not matched , but once SP kicks in for it to work out the overlay figures automatically rather than quickly calculate from my sheet then manually place lays in which time i prob would not be able to manually do in time
thanks
