Can anyone tell me what this does and how to use it. I have mine on the default setting but the manual isn't very clear what this thing actually does?

Thanks in advance.

Some people like to use it as a snapshot to show how much money is on both sides. Personally I wouldnt bother with it.

Thanks for replying but you didn't actually answer the question.

What I need to know is how the Weight of Money configuration affects the WOM shown in the one-click screen and ladder.

Anyone know?

By default the WOM percentage is calculated evenly based on the amount of money available on the best, second best & third best prices published by betfair. If you thought the money available on the best price was being heavily manipulated and wanted to filter it out, you'd set the 'Inner price weighting' to 0%. If you wanted to still include it in the calculation but give it less importance, then drop the percentage from the default 34% to say 17%.

So if I understand you correctly a setting of say, 70-20-10 would means that the percantage WOM figure shown would be arrived at by adding 70% of the nearest figure, 20% of the middle figure and 10% of the Further figure together and comparing them with the same calculation on the opposite side and representing the result as a percentage of the whole. And that is the percentage that would be shown in the one-click screen etc?

Are the money figures shown also weighted similarly or are they the actual figures from the market?
Thanks in advance.
