This is going to be a super easy fix I'm sure.

I am a regular scalper, so I am set up on ladder to offset with greening 1 or 2 ticks, however.....

When I place a back bet, say £5 and it's matched the corresponding Lay is placed for about £5.20
Placing a Lay first gives a back bet around £4.80 after matching.

This then gives me a value in the Net stake.....

Now I.m still making a profit so not too worried but it doesn't happen to the master Mr. Webb in the acadamy videos.

It's because you've specified greening. The 20p difference is to ensure the same profit/loss across the book. Peter usually hedges at the end so individual trades won't have that adjustment.

And where exactly is the problem that requires an easy fix? You don't sound like a regular scalper :)
