in an earlier post i wrote about my horse race dutching...ive now tried football correct scores...
bury v shrewsbury
back with a stake of £2(i mean this as the total bet not each selection)
backed..1-0,1-1,1-2,2-0,2-1,2-2,any unquoted,
ticked the boxes,the odds and stakes came up(stakes varied from 71p to 06p,the prdicted profit for the scores i did were all in green,red on the others...placed my bet..but it only greened on 1-0,1-2,all other scores i was 68p in the red,my betfair account only shows those 2 scores mathed but the other scores are not even showing up as being unmatched???

It sounds like your stake is too low. What stake are you using?

[johnoleary]

obviously just trying things out,so going as small as i can,i put the back stake as £2...when ticking the scores boxes it came up withsmall low stakes..but why would it match the 2 scores and not the others,the stakes matched were 56p and 12p? would it only match 2 of he scores,seems strange it only matched 2 of the horses? is there something in the settings im missing..surely if the minimum stake per score was £2 then it wouldnt have matched the 2 scores for 56p and 12p?

When you're selecting players in the Dutching screen, are you ticking back, lay or manual part of the screen?

If you using back then all of the should match as there are people already laying selections that you're backing.

But I think you could be clicking on lay column in which case your requesting odds and they might not be matched.

no def clicking back..when clicking on he place bets button and the pop up comes up showing the bets prices and stake im checking that as well!!

The minimum stake, per line, on Betfair is £2 not £2 per market. Bet Angel tries to get around this with some trickery but Betfair are not obliged to match bets for small amounts less than £2 and will often reject these stakes. This will leave you with some matched and some unmatched positions. If you place loads at once on the dutching or bookmaking then Betfair often throws an error. You may even see this error in the log.

so basically every horse or correct score would have to have a minimum stake of £2...eg 5 correct scores would be £10...if this is so why does betangel show the stakes calculated at lower than that as accepted with 2 of the scores i selected they were actually under £1...this help is much appreciated by the way thank you for your time helping me on this.

i have also used bettrader evo in the past..that allows you to put stakes on under £2 although you do have to put them in manually.

[Euler]

Bet Angel does put these bets in but when dutching you are blasting Betfair will a lot of sub minimum requests quickly and Betfair may reject them / be unable to process them.

ok well ill hopefully get a big enough bank i can use those stakes with..thanks again for your help.
