showing stakes of less than 2 pound

[johnoleary]

i like the idea of betangel dutching BUT i think when it shows you can place bets for less than the min 2 pound stake..even to the point of confirming it in the pop up window..and then it wont let you do it i think is VERY MISLEADING...am i wrong?

You can place stakes below £2 on the dutching, but if you are dutching the whole field with £2 you are obviously going to run into trouble.

but surely they shouldnt show you that the bet will be put on!!
i presume that if i have enough funds and im dutching say 5 horses and the stakes on each horse is 2 pound or more then the bet will definately be put on???

£2 stake on these scores in the FA Cup match. Worked just fine.

You may want to try using connection mode 13 which may be better than the full API connection mode 0.

At the end of the day this feature was put in at the request of users. It has to use trickery to get around the £2 minimum and this is against your terms and conditions with Betfair so you do it at your own risk, but staking below £2 is there if you need it.

I note that you've sneaked in an 11p 1-0 So'ton win E. Is that shrewd money?

cheers, P

I have opened a position that will be very profitable if Southampton score first, but have hedged that. Bit more than 11p as well.

Lol, good man

Bingo 1-0 Saints, 43mins, carbon copy of the Blackpool trade the other night. But now I think I will square it up so I don't have to keep an eye on it in the second half.

Lol, great call.
