Hi Folks, I used to use Bet angel years ago, but never made a penny from using it so decided trading wasnt for me.
I have now come up with some new methods that will enable me to scalp from footie so i took the plunge and paid for a year up front only to find to my horror that when i pressed a one click bet it took seven seconds to complete.
Is this a new thing or can this be changed in the settings somewhere. If not its a waste of money as its the same speed as the betfair site.
Please help or am i missing something obvious.

Cheers

Hi
The delay is imposed by betfair not Betangel

Hi Peter,
Im shocked to hear this, This more or less defeats the whole purpose of the software. It makes it impossible to use a lot of the features and trading techniques.
ie , in play in horse racing, even football.

Yep its a wind up, Its a wind up that when i press one click instant betting it comes up in small red numbers counting down from 7 to zero.
A few years ago when you pressed one click betting it went straight through.

Is this true? It would be really unfair but very profitable at the same time!

Betfair have always had an in-play delay since the day it was created. You are getting the countdown because you are betting in-play.

I have heard there is a new version of Bet Angel coming soon. It time warps your bet by 7 seconds in the past.

I am working on some automation to take advantage of this. I keep putting it off though as I find myself spending more and more time on the Aston Martin website.......

I was hoping to have the spinning orange clock back on the Betfair website, who remembers that? I would be pulling my hair out because the price was miles away by the time the clock stopped spinning :lol:

The famous science fiction writer H G Wells, reputedly created a working Time machine.... regrettably about 100 yrs too early for us. :(
