Sorry for what must seem like an inanely silly question to most but I've a question that's been bugging me for a few days.

I've recently come over from matched betting and have been using Bet angel on Betdaq for the past couple of days. I've had some good success creating a free bet on the correct score markets by checking odds portal to see what score lines may steam. I'll ask for a better back and lay price using the manual bet tab on Bet Angel and use equal stakes to create a free bet. My question is, if I leave this free bet to go in play and I green up later in the match (should the score line still exist) will my green be greater than it was. For example, at kick off I have a free bet of £20 on the 1-0, so should the game end 1-0 I win my £20, should it end any other score £0. If say at 65mins the score is 1-0 and the odds have shortened significantly and I decide to green up will I be greening up for more than I would at say 20 mins if the game was 0-0 or does it make no difference at all and no matter when you green up on a free bet it's the same amount?

It all depends on the odds, providing the they have shortened then when you green up the profit will be more.

Once you have closed a trade (created your free bet) if you look at the ladder screen and turn greening on (uncross the scales icon) it will show what your profit (or loss) will be on the trade profit column as each price point as the price shortens or drifts

Thanks Dallas makes more sense now, I tend to just use the manual trading tab but will check out the ladder for one of tonight's games.
