Calculator to show liability to stop loss?

Is there a calculator on Bet Angel that will show stake for a fixed liability from start to end point?

For example, a first set tennis strategy where you want to risk say £100 from current price to expected end of set price, rather than liability to end of event eg I want to lay at 1.40 risking a max £100 loss to an expected end of set price of 1.20, what would my stake be?

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

I'd not, could one be added?

Its impossible to know exactly where the price would be after a given game/set, all you can do is try and estimate it so your £100 loss could actually be £75-£125 depending on the exact price it settles at and how good your prediction is

Tennis Trader will give you a prediction based on 10s of thousands of historical matches but even that will still be out by a few ticks and the data from the model can't be pushed into automation

Thanks Dallas.

I appreciate that any end of set price will only be an estimate and that the risk could vary. It was a calculator to calculate the stake for a given risk between two prices that I was after.

I suspect it is probably straight forward for a decent mathematician with some spreadsheet knowledge to set up, unfortunately that rules me out 😁

Your stake would be: maximum loss / (lay price / back price - 1)

e.g. £100 / (1.4 / 1.2 - 1) = £600

Lay at 1.4 for £600, close at 1.2 for £700 making the £100 maximum loss.

You could create a context servant to do the above but you might have to work in ticks as the calculation requires two prices and only one price can be inputted into a context servant.

Alternatively, you could create a spreadsheet and input the prices and maximum loss and have the formula to output the stake.

Thanks Derek

That's just what I was after.

Much appreciated
