Keep the noise down! Why all the shouting???

You can green if you want to. But after using dutching you have used a strategy that is incompatible with greening. But if you really want to green you can.

I wouldnt advised after using the bookaking or dutching modes to try and green out with the disable mode, you can find yourself in deep you know the rest, i done this once and ended up in some big red across the book :shock:

Not sure what video you saw, but when I tried the green-up on the correct score market - a £2 bet was placed against 0-0 at 1000 (one of my original lays). £2 wasted there.

Do NOT green-up on correct score market with Bet Angel if the scores you have been trading are not possible any more. You will just lose your profit and may even make a loss.

yes thats happened to me the 1000 green up that is already lost money.
ive spoken to mr angel about it via e-mail, but its a case of, " your fault" as far as they are concerned.

which clearly its not,its the software.
with the new auto tool if you set bet/lay at certain price parameters you can insure against it.... !!! provided the software works !! which as we all know it doesnt always..

good luck..

and p.s... i hate those Ferkers that put up back odds on outcomes that are already lost, they should be banned from the exchanges....

It is not the software's fault, it does exactly as expected! When you enter a market using proportional staking but exit using greening, especially when using small stakes, greening will not work efficiently. This is why we deliberately disable this facility as a default setting when using proportional staking, to stop people doing this. The only way to force Bet Angel to do this, is for the user to deliberately disable it. We have gone out of our way to highlight this and to explain in the software and in user manual and knowledge base. Use level stakes if you want to green out. But.....

If you ask it to do a green all across the field, it will attempt to reverse each one of your trades. If one of those options is no longer available it will be at odds of 1000 and will get matched at this level. In this situation you would choose deliberately not to try and green out on a selection at 1000 and only selectively green out on selections that currently have a 'real' price in the market. If you are using small stakes then it will obviously put a minimum of £2 at those odds if you do try to green out on something with a back price of 1000.

I agree, you need to understand how the software works. In times of crisis knowing what's going to happen in advance will help you make bigger profits and allow you to escape from possible losses.

Practise makes perfect!

I think you can make sure you dont put in a 1000-1 lost bet, when greening by having the confirm option on, that way you say yes to the greening bets you want and no to the trap odds bets.
Maybe Mr Angel can confirm this would work.

Hi all
guys and girls there has to be a point where common sence is used ,if you try to green up for really small amounts then the software will ask the market for 1000 to 1 or the opposite 1.01 .to give u the result u desire,if there is no money in the market at those prices then what do u really expect to happen ?,i mean really put a little bit of science into it and use your head,the dutching and bookmaking functions can be used to move small amounts of money around ,ive been doing it for months and its really easy ,just look at the tools available and use them.next thing we will be asking BA for a print money now button,

Clearly written, in my starter days i done the same thing in dutching, it cost me, but when you understand the markets better you understand why you disable it, if a door is locked for a reason that says Danger would you still try to open it, just a thought :lol:
