Dear all

When I set max liability in settings I still get warnin message to sat mt liability qwill be the stake x odds How do avoid this happening just to have my chosen liability for laying stake?I tried just setting it as the lay stake only the setting that didn't make a difference..

Many thanks

The maximum liability in your settings area is just that - to warn you before you exceed it with a single bet.
You'd normally have this set higher than you need so you can safely close out bets

You'd then use the staking method 'By Liability (lay only)' and use your pre-set stakes on the ladder/one-click screen to set the amount you wish to risk with a lay bet

Are there any training videos on using liability modes? Thank you!

There will be some on explaining an overview and switching between 'Staking methods', but probably not one on just staking by liability
What did you need to know?

Is there a way to restrict your maximum liability on a market?

If I was trading in running and got a little click happy laying £10's @ 11.0 and wanted a maximum liability on the market of £300, only 3 bets would process (assuming no other liabilities exist which would be offset)?

If you were submitting bets with a Servant then you could add a Stored Value condition and test the P/L of a runner your not trading.

If doing that I'd suggest only arming the place bet rule in the servant for 1 second, so that if you start the servant one or more times and the liability condition stops it, but then you green up or something you could suddenly find your servants all place a bet at the same time.
