Hi

Im on a trial here, and have run into a small "problem".
When i have offset bet with greening (or just another of the offset settings) my problem is this:

I have Odds Display reversed. Im in One-Click view. Offset bet with greening. When backing at best lay odds, it will put in a lay order right after my back bet is in the market.. But at that point im not sure i will get matched with my back bet. I would think the lay bet should not be entering the market before the back bet has been matched. Or enter the lay while back bet is partially matched.

Problem2. When im in ladder view. It only put in the back bet It dont make any offset bets. So there it has to be all done manually. So that is 2 different problems.

Hope it all makes sense. :)

If you start using fill or kill then it will hold the first bet in the market until it is filled then release the second bet. So that is probably the solution you are looking for.

Ok thanks :)

Is it possible so it will do the other part of the offset when some of the initialy bet is matched??

Say i back @1,10 for 10£ and have offset at 1 tick.
Then 2£ of my back bet is matched, then i would like for that 2£ to be entered in the lay @1,09 right away.. Its important to be front of the line scalping. So the sooner the better i get in when other is matched..

Fx. i could risk i backed @1,10 for 500£ and only get 495£ matched... Then i would not enter the lay side at all.. Since im missing the last 5£ to matched.

For the last question. am i correct in saying that is the offset batches i should adjust there ?

For instance set that at 100 with my 500£ back, then for every 5£ it will enter the other side ?

Hi Cains, I think this can be tried out and see if it's possible. I have to double check this myself first though.
