I have noticed that when I have been trading on on market that is before the off, I have managed to have a green profit of around £1, I am using small stakes. but then when the market goes into play It still keeps moving. I thought that once the bets and lays were matched that the inplay would make no difference.
How does the inplay affect the matched stakes if I have matched and layed for a 10p what changes when it goes to inplay?
why does it change?
If you've fully greened up across the board across each selection then *in theory* it shouldn't move unless there is slightly more green on one selection.
If you haven't greened up across the board and left all of your green on one selection and zero on everything else then it will move about dependent on what the price is.

If you greened for £1 then that will be your profit if you do nothing else but when the race goes IP depending on how you have BA set up that green figure will fluctuate because the odds are changing as the race progresses, showing you your potential green if you use the profit you already have to place an order at that exact moment.
Like I said though if you're sure you greened up and don't do anything else then that £1 will be in your P&L. What you're describing is the software just showing you a potential P&L

No if you've greened up you don't need to do anything else.
When you toggle the scales on/off its showing you your greened up P&L and your potential P&L if you didn't/don't green up

you are possibly looking at two columns of 'greens'. The 'greens' in the Runner column are what you will get if that horse wins and you do nothing more. The other 'green' column is in the P&L column and that will jump around in running because your 'book' for the race was balanced at the odds when you greened-up but because the odds in-running are not the same as the odds when you greened up the 'in-play' book is not balanced and so will maybe offer a slightly different green-up figure that MAY result from another green-up then. I say 'may result' because the odds will in all likelihood change between you clicking to re-green and the bets hitting the market because of the delay. My experience is that you can sometimes get better green-up results in-running but likewise you can sometimes get much worse. I've seen green-up profits suddenly go to a loss on greening-up in-running. Because of the delay the more volatile the prices the less control you have. My one size fits all advice is don't do it unless you are experienced at reading how in-running odds behave.
