A couple of questions - I am using the trial version in demo, so not sure how much of the functionality is available, but a couple of things that I would like to know, which may inform me if I will buy the full version or not - apologies if this has been asked before, but I have run a search and not found anything...

1) one click betting - when you enter in the back stake, but before you place a bet, should it come up with the profit and liability within the software- like the what if scenarios in Betfair exchange? In the version I am using, it does not. I want to have a profit of X, and when I enter in the stake in the back column, I don't get any change. Likewise, can you stipulate a profit target as opposed to the stake - again have a feeling you can, but not in the demo version...

2) I am looking at a hedging strategy, correct score and match odds... pre game I make a bet on the correct score, but then I want to increase the profit on a few different correct score odds. In the demo version, if I select a profit target of £200, where I already have a bet in play, it adds the 200 on top of it, as opposed to making everything equal at 200... does the software enable you to do this?

eg. I have got a green profit of 150 on 0-0, and want to increase it to 200, but also want to include 1-1 2-2 and 3-3 to all have 200 green profit - however the 0-0 on the dutching goes to 350 profit...

Many thanks in advance

Firstly which ever version your using in trial mode (Trader or Pro) whatever features are avalibe in real money mode are avalible in the demo/practice mode for that particular version.

But to answer your questions
1) If you turn the "Bet Confirmation" on it will show your liabilities and ask you to confirm before actual bet placement but there is no "What if" like you see when on betfair's grid interface.
You cant set a target profit on the one-click but you can set your liabilties if laying by using the "Auto stake" option on the right of the top banner

2) When dutching the facility ignores any current P&L on selections and calculates whats needed to get the X target profit you specified based on a starting figure of zero.

You can use the "overide target profit" to maunal compensate for any P&L's you currently have - for your example you would set your target profit at £200 still but on 0-0 you would enter £50 as the target profit in the manual override box (which is located just to the right of the predicted profit colum)
