Hi all, 1st time poster. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction with regard to using book percentage in an automation rule. Is it beneficial to use it, and, if so, how would I incorporate it as I have very little understanding of it. Thanks in advance. GVG.

Coincidentally Peter covers book percentage a bit in one of his latest videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL0JLpF ... l=BetAngel

Lots of ways to use book % in an automation. The way I use it most is as a guide as to how well formed a market is. Typically the back percentage will start high (and lay will start low), then both will creep towards 100% by the off time at which point markets will roughly be as close to 100% as they will get. Obviously more competitive markets like a Premier League football match will typically form much quicker and end up more competitive than a lower league match in Azerbaigian might.
