Hi All,

You promised not to laugh, remember?

With Bet Angel Basic, I have read the
"The Guide to Bet Angel Basic
Getting started with Bet Angel Basic"

a couple of times, but can't find what the % numbers in between the 'back' and 'lay' buttons mean, and how do I use it?

The first 11 pages of the manual don't have it.

The last 5 pages don't have it.

And I'm pretty sure I didn't miss it in the middle 8 pages.

I"m starting with 'basic' to win a few $$ to upgrade when the $$ are in.

Thanks,

Rahim.

The % figures are the weight of money. Just an indicator of how much money is waiting to be matched on one side of the book or the other.

Just a couple of quick questions I was meaning to ask about BA basic.

- There is no limiter for data requests, could you please confirm that they are automatically limited to 20?

- Which connection mode would you advise to use in the event of an API slowing or outage? I am thinking a hybrid of 7 or 9 would be the safest, is this correct?

Thanks.

Sorry didn't see this question.

It uses around 4 calls per second in standard API mode. Around 6 calls per second in non API mode. But it will typically come in lower than this, we just want to give cautious guidance. If you switch of the refresh then it's zero! So that's a pretty safe way to use it as a backup.
