Hello

I am relatively new to bet angel and I have been trying to get to grips with the software. I have encountered a slight problem when trying to lay bets using the ladder. What I am finding is that when I try to place an order to lay a bet at a specific price my stake gets automatically matched with whatever the current price is. For instance I try to lay at 4.00 and the bet just gets matched at say 3.60 (the current price). I suspect that I am doing something wrong and need to adjust my settings in some way. Can anyone help and suggest what I can do to resolve this. There isn't any problem when placing back bets, just when laying.

Betfair will always match bets at the best price avalible so if you back below the current odds you will be matched at higher if avalible and if you lay above current odds you will be matched lower if avalible.

The only way around this is to use automation to trigger a bet as the odds move as explained in this thread
