Hi All,
I must be missing something really straight forward because I can't work out how to have a default liability of 1% of my bank size when layng runners, can any one steer me in the right direction?
Laying runner for a liability of 1% of bank
Bet Angel can lay by liability as a percentage of your current balance directly in Guardian. If you set the rule to “stake to liability” and base it on balance, BA will automatically calculate the correct lay stake so the liability is, say, 1% of whatever your balance is at the moment the rule fires. As your balance changes, the liability adjusts automatically.
What catches people out is that this is per trigger, not cumulative. So if you only want one 1% exposure per runner or market, you still need a guard condition. Most of the shared automations do this with a matched bets or matched liability condition to stop the rule firing again once that risk is already on.
There are also ready-made Guardian files on the forum that already implement this logic using stored values and balance references. Some of the lay accumulator and percentage staking examples do exactly what you’re describing and are a good starting point rather than building from scratch.

If you're performing it manually in the top right hand corner of BetAngel on one click or ladder screen there is a drop-down that says "Staking Method" which is defaulted to Fixed Stake.
You can toggle this to be lay by liability which will then lay to a total liability of the stake you have selected.
