On the Ladder screen If the money values at either side of the odds represent the unmatched money why when I take the other side of a trade at a value away from where the market is trading do I not get matched.

For example; The market is trading at 1.5 say and there is a lot of lay money above that at 1.51,1.52 and 1.53. If I put an order in at 1.53 why am I not matched. It happened to me in the tennis today. I was messing about just trialling the software and threw a two pound bet in at 1.53 where there was a few grand waiting to be matched. I didn't get matched. I'm not quite sure why anyone would leave money on the lay side at 1.53 when the market is at 1.5 either which leads me to believe I may be mis-interpreting the ladder.

Thanks for reading. Any help appreciated.

It sounds like you are placing your lay bets on the wrong side of the ladder based on how you have the odds display set.

What you where probebly doing was placing a back bet @ 1.53 which would nt be matched unless the odds moved upto that price.

The options along the top of Bet Angel you will see odds display with a drop down box (select reverse) the back should now be in blue on right side of ladder and lay in pink on left.

You can place a lay bet in any of the empty pink boxes on the left above the trading price and be immedietly matched or you can ask for a price below and will get matched if the price comes down.

Same goes for back bets any empty blue boxed on the right below the trading price will be immedietly matched asking for a price above you money will join the que untill the price rises.
