Betfair gives you the highest odds currently available to back.

If you want to place a back bet when the price drops to 1.05, Bet Angel can automate this for you. I think you'll need to set up a spreadsheet.

Hi,

You can use the Automation section of BA to place the bets for you when a selection reaches 1.05, you will need to set the parameters in the Settings area.

Just a thought, if you are planning to back all horses that trade at 1.05 you shoud maybe check the stats, you will see that there are plenty that trade at 1.05 or below and lose! Over the long term it's not possible to make a significant profit with a strategy that backs very low odds.

Hope this helps, however if you're doing something different good luck.

Cheers

Would you need to keep betangel open during the trade or could you place your order and close the computer etc?

I have looked around betangel and still cant work out how to do this unless putting in a stop-loss which closes once you change the market anyway.

is there something in an instruction manual?
