Hi all, I'm brand new to Bet Angel and have signed up for 1 month to see if it works for me. Starting off with tiny stakes and hoping to break even or even make some profit while I learn. And then hopefully this time next year Rodders, we'll be millionaires!

I've been using the one-click screen and dutching but I'd much prefer if the bets defaulted to TAKE SP and not CANCEL as I've been caught out a few times and have had to go in-running to get matched (I just don't have the nerve for that particular excitement).

So simple question really - how do I get the bets to default to TAKE SP.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Kindest regards.

I'm sure some of the excel gurus will offer a way to change the status to Take SP automatically.

I simply have the Unmatched bets on a separate screen and I change all closing orders to Take SP by clicking the button. Obviously you need to ensure they are closing orders and not opening orders or you will have the squeaky bum moment otherwise known as in play!

Most of my opening orders are lays so I tend to cancel all the pink orders and then hit Take SP for the blue back orders.

If you use the auto trade all day spreadsheet you can set this to nominate a time scale where it will convert all orders to SP orders automatically.
