Newbie question :?:
is there a way of putting a back bet on so it's immediately taken eg: say the odds were 4.1 but there’s lay money in the lay side at 4 instead of waiting for the 4.1 back to be takencould you automate it 1 tick below so it’s immediately taken. I’ve noticed when I use the Dutch it puts a bet on immediately any help will be appreciated.

You can set it to place the bet at any price you like, either fixed or relative to current prices.

If you want to be absolutely sure it will always be matched immediately then place a back bet at 1.01, and you will automatically match at the best available price. Be careful to make sure you're only betting into liquid markets to make sure you don't end up getting matched at very poor value.

Thanks, James. For answering so quickly
Not that good on automation, could you explain how you do it, please?

Maybe take the price 10 ticks lower, just remember taking a price immediately you lose value compared to asking for a price.
