Hi,

This may be a stupid question... but as I'm just picking up tennis trading, theres been a few times that I've clicked on the ladder and the price has moved 4 or 5 ticks away before the bet places (5s delay)

Is there a way I can cancel this order before it gets taken at an old price, and thus automatically placing me in the red?

Cheers,
Adam

Once submitted it cant be cancelled until showing in the market as a unmatched bet

Ah bummer. I guess I just need to be more careful when trading the tennis.

Thanks Dallas

If you use Tennis Trader you will know where the odds will move to so be able to position your bets in advance, then if needs be cancel (no delay when cancelling). You can tell who has won a point as most of the money will disappear on that side of the book as the court siders pull there bets

Thanks for the tips. I think I just got caught up in the Wimbledon hype and made silly silly mistakes.

Appreciate the advice
