Laptop double Stakes

[Alpha322]

Has any one else experienced this ??

When entering markets say order £200 on Back or lay the software is putting in double the stake intermittently. Is this a bug only happens on my laptop on version 1.61

Any Suggestions. Its not a Beta version also

Do you mean manual clicks via the one-click or ladder screen? If it's just one laptop it could be a problem with the trackpad. When they start going they often register more than once every time you click.

Are you on a Mac? I posted yesterday about exactly the same problem:

What does the log say?

[Lynskey888]

The log says two bets were placed - it's my tracker pad that's the problem, not Bet Angel.

I hope this isn't a naive suggestion but what you could do until you get the trackpad investigated/sorted is to use a USB mouse. They're about £10 so hopefully worth trying. You can then compare results and see if it's really the trackpad that's at fault?

Two reports of martingale laptops on the same day sounds odd, but a common issue with trackpads and mice, no?

For my mice it's usually the scroll wheel that starts double-clicking eventually, since I use it to open and close browser tabs.

Would never use a trackpad over a mouse though, if I wanted precise direct control over the mouse cursor.

Software doesn't know if its running on a laptop or regular PC, as long as its compatible with the OS on a device it will run on it.

I've ran BA on several laptops and regular PCs over the years and used different versions of Windows without a single incident, also any 'glitches' with any piece of software would evident and effect everyone using it, not confined to a single device from one user

1.01 mouse error.

If so then it will only get worse. Try a new mouse.

I would send here when it happens again


Thanks

I run Bet Angel on Windows and Mac devices and mice and trackpads without a problem.

One thing you may want to try is a keystroke instead of a click. I've found that a much more effective way of placing an order.

No, not at all, that’s a good idea, ta.

Kai, I was desperate for mouse control when I started using the ladder, but I’ve grown used to the track pad over time. Maybe this is my opportunity to switch. In an ideal world, my Mac wouldn’t be impersonating a PC while I trade.

Alpha322, I always thought the unwanted double click was a problem with my hardware rather than the software. I was hoping someone could solve the issue with some clever Windows or Mac settings adjustments. I hope you find a way to eliminate the unwanted clicks.

Thanks for your replies, folks.

Alpha, my problems were intermittent - a minor annoyance - however, yesterday afternoon my track pad went into complete meltdown. It became unusable on BA with money at stake.

I took ANGELS15's advice and bought a wireless mouse. Perhaps you could do the same. It's money well spent!

I had a faulty wireless mouse that once clicked itself on a horse's lay price in running. The horse won. The mouse went out the window.
