Hi, today I found out one bug in Betangel. When you have loaded Guardian with todays horse card you have to doubleclick on a a race when you want to select it. When you incidentally click three times you are already on one click screen and you probably just placed bet on random horse! That would be ok because you can close it out but you cannot see your bet anywhere! You cannot see matched bet, or liability you just heard that sound in Betangel when bet is placed. It has happened to me three times today and it cost me, wtf is this?!

You could change the location of the Guardian screen in your default settings then save them so that you can accidentally click on the underlying screen by accident. Either that or disable one click betting on the underlying screen which will force you to enable it again when you switch markets. If you have more than one screen, place or default Guardian to open on another screen. Or you could change the layout of the underlying screen and save that so you can't click on key parts accidentally?

Not sure what you mean by can't see the bet? It should show up in your P&L on the screen and if you have made an error you can exit it immediately by using any one of the greening / trade out tools.

If you are worried that you may triple-click often and want to avoid a double-click completely, then you can also switch to the market by selecting it in Guardian (single-click) and then just pressing the Enter key on the keyboard.

Thanks for your feedback guys I think I will go with Enter key from on.
Regarding to not being able to see placed bet anywhere, I think what happens is it doesn't place bet immediately but later maybe when race turns in play. I swear it does something like that when you incidentally triple click in guardian and I'm actually surprised nobody was caught by this before.

Sorry to bother you again just found out when you triple click it will move you to new market but places bet on the one you left. Thats why I could see my liability on new market or bet record in matched bets tab. So the lesson is don't triple click or don't have guardian laying on the market screen.
