Looks like the much-recommended 'Take SP' setting used on ALL unmatched orders saved my a$$ today

Re the very useful safety option of the 'Take SP All' feature of Bet Angel.
Something I may have missed in the documentation? It may be implied there but I need it spelt out!
When the bet is matched at the off, the liability is kept the same as your unmatched bet.
So for example an unmatched lay on a horse that has drifted will be matched at BSP but with a smaller stake.
This can leave you unhedged if you're on a fine margin.

BA can't know what the BSP will be because that would require knowledge of which bets in the market have TakeSP set, plus your stake would have to be changed appropriately before the event started (ideally 20ms/200ms before). BA cannot predict the future in the current build.
