For totally undisciplined traders like myself, I would like an automatic 'green up / red up' facility once the race goes in play.

This takes out the option of letting losing trades go in play and wiping out your entire bank.

It would be great if I knew that the moment a race jumped off the decision to gamble and let it run would be automatically taken from me. Automatic Redding and Greening would occur instantly.
Now I know that you can always turn the button off, but I'd still love it to be there!!

Hi
My daughter just incurred "massive" data excess charges...([732 Pound!!)it was her fault as she had two instances of Betangel running at 20/req per second. Genuine mistake
She was fortunate as Neil at Betfair refunded her the money.
Anyway my suggestion is that when you login to Betangel, if you already have an instance running, the login screen should prompt you with something like "..You are already logged in, do you wish to log in again??"
I know somepeople run two instances but set to 10 req/second, so the above would be the ideal I would have thought?
Anyway Betangel - Could you add this to the wish list for next version...? It might just save someone a lot of money
Regards
Peter
PS All credit to Neil at Betfair, they didnt have to credit this back...Thank you Neil

I would like the market rules added in somewhere. I hate the Betfair website, but I have to have it open, to check the rules of the market I am playing. Would be ok if I only ever did the same markets, but I am not against looking into different things.

And I also agree that it would be good if a warning came up if you were already logged in. Just a warning though, would still want to be able to open it.

I have mentioned in the past that a binary staking method (and ladder for that matter) would be much simpler to use, i think this might solve the above issues mentioned.

Ie Win = 100. Lose = 0. You bet an amount per % point. So a £1 unit at evens (normally 2.0, but in this case 50) is a bet of £50 to win £50. The beauty of this system is that if you keep the staking set to the £1 unit, squaring off is extremely easy, you just bet the £1 unit in the other direction. eg, Price moves now to 80 (which is 1.25). You lay £1 unit (sell) at 80, leaving you square for 30 ticks (£30). It's simple and easy.

Yes. Gee I miss Binary. I would still prefer the prices in decimal terms, but would prefer the binary betting system. Have options to have binary or decimal odds, and have options to have binary, liability, or tick size staking. Would be perfect.
For traders, prices don't matter. Is the ultimate trading functionality. Click, click, green. I know it is possible here too with 2 clicks, but this takes out the hedge requirement.
For others, that like the decimal odds as they are more racing appropriate, they could still view them that way.
Can we do it? Please?

I'm no computer expert, so my suggestion might be impossible to implement. I love being able to sort my Guardian shortlist through a range of headers and options, but it would be brilliant if another line was added - money matched so far. It's easier to trade on the markets with most liquidity, so being able to sort the list according to the amount of money matched would be fantastic.

Hi to all
whenever you install a new version of BA the charts settings and their names are not saved...

Don't know if this has been suggested yet, but the Take SP function on connection mode 9 would be very appreciated. It is a hybrid mode after all.

On my wish list I would like to be able to use the Margin Maker on more than 1 selection when using the Dutching and Bookmaking tabs

Peter talks about new additions to the latest version in his blog post today - any chance of giving us an idea of when it will be available?

[Bet Angel]

Silvermark, use mode 13 instead.

Thanks for all the suggestions we are into a new tranche of development now the summer racing season is coming to an end so we are busy trying to arrange new features and your requests in some sort of sensible order.

Also in the manual bet area:
it would be nice to have a <cancel all> button and a <cancel> button for each runner

Hi all,

I've locked this topic.

The idea was to have a suggestions area of the board with lots of new suggestions.

Not one long suggestions thread!

We would be grateful if you could start each new suggestion in a new thread topic.

Many thanks
