Newbie seeks advice

[Thunderclapnewman]

Hi all
Have been using Bet Angel for a couple of days in practice mode. I back my own selections but then seek to cover my stake by using automation to back the rest of the field in running at 3.0. A couple of times have noticed that the trigger didn't fire despite odds falling below two; one of these went on to win.

I have my settings for the trigger at if current odds >=1.01 and odds <=3.05 and WOM<=100% place at 3.

Does anyone know how I can prevent the occasional trade slipping through this net.?

Thanks in anticipation.

That's the hard bit about inplay betting it's really hard to get all your bets matched.

I suspect the problem is that sometimes the inplay market moves just too fast for even Betangel to cope. I would say at the moment it has only been 2 fails out of 50 or so races , so if it stays at that I will be happy to put up with it. Just wondered if anyone with greater experience in these matters could shed any light, but thanks for your reply .

You are getting 48 out of 50 bets matched for odds of 3 by betting below odds off 3.05 thats high it will drop below what your getting just now.

Presumably I could improve the chances of getting matched by altering my parameters and asking for the bet to be placed at say 1.5. Presumably I would get the best price available and as long as it's more than 1.5 I would be matched?
