I have been watching some of the training videos using the dutching feature on Bet Angel (mostly for horses) and Peter has the order of horses as Favourite to Outsider.

How can I change my settings to show this order?

Also I've been looking into backing the front of field but it doesn't fix my liability i.e. When the race goes in-play the red can increase or decrease... I most definitely dont want this, I'd like to fix my liability at time of dutching.

Thanks

I'm not sure which video your refering to but the Dutching (and bookmaking) screens both only show the order they appear on Betfair, there are no options to sort on these screens.

As soon as the bets are matched your liability is fixed, what your probably refering to is the P/L of the trade profit column changing as the odds moves, its only if you click those figures and green up will that become your P/L, if you do nothing you'll never end up with a worse liability than your initial bets

When Dutching its not normally advised to green up hence the option is turned off by default when Dutching

Hi Dallas
Many thanks for your prompt response, the video I was watching where Peter had the horses in order of Fav to Outsider was in the "Using Bet Angel - Trader" video series and was definitely in the "Dutching Pt1" video (see screen shot below"

Be really good if we could set to this format

Thats still in the default Betfair order, if you look down near the bottom you'll see one is out of sync based on order of favourtism, Expresso Fredo is 12.0 but is above Sapphire Coast priced 10.5

That video was made in the olden days when we used to have horseracing in the UK. Back in those days Betfair loaded UK runners in order of favoritism at time of loading which would generally be about right until the market closed - this might have given the impression that the Dutching screen was sorted in order of favoritism even though it was actually Betfair order.
