Hello,

This might be "a silly thing" but one that it's easy to solve and I think could be a small but good improvement.

The problem I find is while entering the amount to stake or to win in the Dutching panel. If you put a decimal stake such as "10,52"€, as BetAngel counts the decimal numbers from a "point" notation, it does not interpret "10,52" as "10.52" which it uses. But the main problem is that it doesn't tell anything about it and it just interprets "10,52"€ as 1052€. I think you can all see the consecuences of a silly mistake like that of putting the decimal number in an unexpected way.
I know this is the standard English notation, but the international one and foreign countries one comma-based notation and when you're used to write it everyday in a certain manner, you don't always remember to change it.

So I think as an "internationalization" to BetAngel, it would be good it point-based and comma-based notations could be treated equally well. If not, at least to display a warning when you enter a comma-based number warning you about the possible error.

As I said, small but still an improvement :).

Thanks!
