I am currently seeing my tick offset bets going in as 1.01 for larger stakes rather then the tick offset % that I have set and for smaller stakes

Any ideas?

I am using 66j

Is the first bet a back bet?

What tick offset percent have you set?

what odds is the first bet getting matched at?

by **vilnius** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 3:18 pm

first bet is a back bet and the tick offset is set to 100%

The first bet (example) got matched at 3.6

100% will always fire the offset at 1.01. The calculation used is ((odds - 1) * (1 - (ticks / 100))) + 1

Are you expecting it to place it at half the odds? If so then you should use 50%.

Hi Gary

If I back it at say 4.0 for £10 I want it to put a lay bet in a t 2.0 for £20

I don't think it is possible then by using the % tick offset is it ?

Unfortunately not because the offset calculation does not work that way. It calculates a percentage of fractional odds not decimal odds. If you specify 50% with auto level ticked you will get 2.5 odds and £16 stake instead of 2.0 and £10.

OK Cheers Gary

Would this be possible for a future release? I suppose it goes back to previous discussion regarding hedging for a fixed profit.

Yes it will and I will probably implement the profit option at the same time.

That's great Gary I believe it will be a popular addition.

Thanks

I have just uploaded the latest Beta (ver 1.1.0.66k) and took the opportunity to include a quick addition you should find useful. I have added a new option to general preferences "Calculate tick % on decimal odds". Tick this option and in your example of backing £10 at 4.0 if you set the ticks as percent to 50 and tick "Auto level" then it should place £20 at 2.0 if matched at 4.0.
