Hi Shaun.
We are trading here (making Win & Lay bets on the same horse) , not Dutching, thats a different thing.
When trading...
I always make sure the bet conformation box is ticked, that way when one hits the Fairbot hedging button , one can see what the profit or loss will be if one decides to go ahead with the hedge bet.
The Hedge button may tell you that a -0.05c loss will be had on the race if its pressed.
This is better that say a $15 loss if it should go against you.
This is a very handy feature.
If one presses the Trading information section on the RHS
It lists all traded bet & lay transactions & if the Stop Loss option is ticked on the bottom RHS , the bet exposed to making a loss will start flashing red.
One then hits the flashing red horse, then hit Stop Loss,
It will then send off a bet to minimise ones exposed risk to a few cents loss.
Its a beautiful thing.
Thanks for your observations Chrom , I will check that one out.
As Chrom says, its not as easy as those chaps make out.
I find the first bet is the easiest, it then becomes harder repeating the same proceedure on the same horse.
One slip & all ones profit can be gone.
That's why I do it just once per horse, if possible.
It's reel nickel & dime stuff done many, many times to scratch a quid, but I still find it fascinating.
Hi Darky,
Thanks for that.
I forgot all about that one , is the backmarker info sorted from the Sportsman or is there an online source available .
The general idea looks brilliant.
Could you refresh my lapsing memory please.
Cheers.
