is it possible to put "worse odds" in bet angel??

[WILDCHIEF]

Hi to all,


Well, before I continue, I appologize for my bad english. I am from Croatia and how can you see, English is not my first language.
I have just one question about betangel. Before 2-3 days I download free trial. Before that, I study on youtube, on betangel web page and other pages how this software works. And mostly functions I reach. And now, my question is, can I, on betangel, put worse odds then is actual. For example, horse racing, currently odd is, back 3.00, lay 3.05... and I want to put my money back on 2.96 or lay on 3.15?! I hope how you now understand what I mean...
Well, that is my problem...
I must you apologize again, maybe before you answer on this question. But, I must ask..

Thank you in advance,

Now I see, I didn't explain it properly.
Same situation, horse racing, currently odd is, back 3.00, lay 3.05...
My intention is, put back on 2.96, not the first empty column, and lay on 3.20 for example...
I would like these odds to stay in the waiting status until they reach one of the two wanted odds. back on 2.96 or lay 3.20, how I mention in the example...
The question is, does any software can do this what I want?

Yes the software's can do that. You can do it on Betfair also. You can choose what odds you want to enter away from the current price, you don't have to take the prices on offer.

But isn't WILDCHIEF's point that he wants to take odds that are WORSE than those currently on offer? If you place a bet at 2.96 and current odds are 3.00, you'll be matched at 3.00 not 2.96. I assume (possibly wrongly) that WILDCHIEF is waiting for signs of interest in his selection before backing. You can do this quite easily from an Excel spreadsheet.

Sounds like we are talking about triggered betting which can be done in Excel or Automation. But it will always get matched at the best price.

[Wyndon]

It depends on WC's strategy. If current odds are 5.0 and he wants to trigger a bet when it falls to 4.0 (the implication being that people fancy his selection), then I'm assuming it won't bother him too much placing a bet at 4.0 and getting it matched at 4.2

Just use the "Fixed Odds Condition"

You can nominate betfair or favouritism order, and instruct the bet to trigger only if back/lay/last traded price is greater/less than your chosen odds.

For back bets that are not in a specific betfair or favouritism order you'll need a separate rule using betfair order to identify each selection.

This is something I'm interested in doing too, I want to only place a back bet when odds have decreased to a certain point in play. can anyone briefly outline how to do this? I'm a complete newbie at this and haven't got a clue when it comes to Bet Angel! Any help would be much appreciated!!

[to75ne]

this is a strange thread, why would anyone wish to take worse odds?
beyond me

[Andrewcollinson]

You take worse odds when you know that your selection is more likely to win, eg a horse is winning a race and you want to trigger a bet once it hits a certain price. Any ideas??
