Question about adding to an unmatched bet.

Question about adding to an unmatched bet.

If I place a bet which isn't matched, is there any way, either on the grid interface or on excel, that I can add to that bet.

For example, I make a bet of £10 at 1.01, which isn't matched, can I then add another £5 to it?

This does not seem possible to me, is this correct?

Thanks,
Alan

You cannot add to a bet and still only have one bet reference if this is what you are asking. Betfair do not provide any way to do this. You can choose to update the bet and increase the stake, but when you submit the update it will generate a new bet for the difference.

See http://www.gruss-software.co.uk/videos/Update_Bet.html which demonstrates the three different ways you can update a bet on the grid interface. You can see a new bet being generated each time.

You can also use the UPDATE trigger in Excel.

Thanks Gary,

Exactly what I wanted to know ...should have guessed you'd have an app for that, lol!
