Hi, liking the dutching, but when i press place bets sometimes it might match all the horses bah 1 or 2?

What should I then do ? because I want the target profit still, I have to click on the one click screen and keep clicking down or up, ( but in doing this losing the profit for that runner that it didn't catch?

Is there some automization that when a runner doesn't get matched your program can move around the odds to still get a profit instead of having to quickly do it manually to make sure i get that horse.

Or is there a way i can make sure my bets get matched ?

thanks

Try leaving the bets in the market a little longer.

Thanks mugsgame, I try that and noticed that the program turns my odds on the horses waiting in the que to like 1000 instead of the odds i pressed dutch for?

It stays in the queu with odds showing at 1000 how are they gonna get picked up?

is that a bug?

it works most times dont know why it turns to 1000 on some odds though when waiting in a que?

The issue here is are betting well below the minium at big prices. If you are experimenting with the software you need to use practice mode.

Thanks, so in dutching so instead of selecting profit i should select minimum stake all the time as 5 dollars?

and go off the profit from that?

thanks

What I would do is select a fixed stake. Then have a look in the boxes on the right that tells you the stake. Adjust if necessary. The thing to remember is if you are trading only a few runners the figure in red is you loss if you don't get a winner.

I strongly urge you to use practice mode until you have worked out what you are doing.
