Hi. I am a newbie and getting used to the software
I cant find an answer in the help manuals so am posting a question. I am trading the correct score in a football match and using the normal betfair market screen in Bet Angel (The one that looks like the betfair layout with backs on one side and lays on other). My simple question is how do I place a manual bet using it. If I want to top up my bet on one score by say a £1 and another by £2 how do I actually do that. I cant see anywhere that I can enter a manual stake. I would appreciate some help. Thankyou

Either;
Add the columns "manual odds", "back stake", "back at manually defined odds", "lay stake", and "lay at manually defined odds".
or
Create and add your own user-defined servants.

Just click the stake of the selection you want to bet on and type in whatever amount you want to use, then place your bet as normal

Thankyou for your help. I think I need to spend a bit more time reading the training manuals
