Hi all
BA novice here.
I'm using the system on a trial basis.
I logged in under the trial option and want to set up a rule under the 'Manual Bet'
function to lay all horses in a race.
However despite having seen Peter Webb talk through it on a few videos step by step,
when I try it, and click on 'Lay All' having set up my rule and inputted by back and lay odds for the race, when I click 'Lay All' I keep getting an error/info pop up saying "Please set the odds for 'Runner A'' and try again.
('Runner A' substituted for the horses actual race name above)
I'm at a loss as to why it keeps doing this, would this happen if say I didn't have enough to cover the amount in my betfair account for example?
Would appreciate the advice. Cheers.
Cheers.

Have a look at the attached image below and let me know if you have yours set up the same way, (does not matter if you have the odds and stakes different) just as long as something is selected and all the boxes are ticked at the top. If so by clicking on the "Lay all" button it should place lay bets on all runners - in my example all will be unmatched and pending.
If it does not work try your own suggestion and lower your lay stakes or set all the lay odds to 1.01 and if the lays are placed this way then it was just lack of funds preventing the bets being placed.

Hi,
My betfair a/c stands balance stands at £100.
Chose a 4 horse race this evening where the biggest price horse is 17.0.
Only tried to 'lay all' at odds of 3.0 and every time it pops up and says 'Please set the odds for _____ and try again'
I've tried matching the current trading price of 2.1 or going lower and it's the same result.
I'm using BA trial version but the live version not the test one.
Any ideas?

What size lay stake are you using? i am assuming you have all the boxes ticked at the top like my previous attachment? if so try using stakes of £10 for all runners and selecting lay odds of 1.65 then hit the lay all button and let me know if you get the same message
Hi mate, I'm using a stake of £3 this is a trial run for me.
And I did manage, I find when it gives me that error message that if I type the odds in manually, - I'm still laying all - that it accepts it.
My first trade went well I broken even and the second one I made a tiny profit.
Small steps in my learning curve.
Question for you - And again I apologise for my naievety with this...
Nearing the end of the race my Trade Profit bounces all over the place, saying I can trade out for all kinds of amounts.
I have watched a few videos and I haven't seen anything dealing with this.
I don't understand it, why does my manual rule show opportunities to green out for far far higher than I've layed at?
What would happen if I clicked on the 'trade profit' green number if it shows at say £300-00.
I'll take a screen shot next time if my description isn't explained well enough.
Cheers.

I think i understand what your saying - I am assuming you mean your high trade out profit is showing on just the one horse you have traded and is showing £0 on the rest and not same equal figure on all the horses?.
To change this tick the "green" box at the top of the "Trade profit colum" and this will give you a equal hedge figure to trade out across all runners regardless of the end result.
By having it unticked and all your potential profits on one horse thats the amount you would get by trading out only if that horse then went on to WIN, so for example you layed it at 4.0 for £3 (your straight profit would be £3 should it lose and you do nothing) if it looks like losing and the odds have now drifted to say 100.0 the green figure on this single horse might show around £91 because its telling you that by now backing for £1 (which it calculates for you when you press the button) that would give you £100 profit if it come back and won minus your initial £9 liabilty from your £3 lay at 4.0 = £91
And zero if it now still lost instead of your initial £3 from your lay.
Hope that makes sence but if what i have put in the first paragraph is right then above is your ansewer, if not post the screen shot so i know exactly what you mean.
