Hi
I am wondering if you could please help me.
With my trading of various sports markets I like to set up my lay liabilty for example to £10 and then be able to place a lay into the market at any price and the stake is adjusted automaticaly to reflect the price that I am laying at to the full £10 liabilty.
So in other words the lower the price, the higher the stake but at the constant liability which will not change.
I have read the manual a few times and have tried to do this but have been unable to achieve this outcome.
Could you please advise if Bet Angel is able to do this or am I way off the mark!
If Bet Angel can do this then please could you advise if possible how to do this?
It is driving me nuts!

Many thanks

Change the tick size button to Liability and then enter £10

When you open a trade to back the stake would be £10
When you lay say @5.0 (4/1) BA will calculate the stake profit for you in this case you will have a £2.50 profit on all runners and a open £10 liability

Hi Alpha

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
The problem I have is the following -
I change to Liability £10 and click update.
If I lay at current price the liability and staking is then correct.
If I trade in the Ladder format which is my usual method then I hit a problem.
If I lay at 1.23 £10 liability then stake is £43.48..fine!
If I submit lay at 1.10 then stake is still £43.48 and liability £4.35 not £10
If I submit lay at 1.05 the stake is £43.48 and liability £2.17
I know that I can set up my own lay column for £10 liability in the One Click area but have not found a solution for placing lays in the ladder other than at the current price not an anticipated future price.

Regards
