betfair question.

[wb]

Is there a somewhere in the settings or somewhere to set a maximum liability for your bets on betfair?

cant find it

thanks

[mathare]

Do you mean a maximum liability per bet or you maximum exposure ie total outstanding liability?

Max exposure defaults to £5000 I think but you can raise that by calling Betfair I assume. That should be plenty to start with I would have thought

per bet

If you are talking about when you are placing a bet!

Above the stake box it says liability,
click on that, and type in your liability!

All bets will then be placed so that you lose
up to your liability on each selection!

:dunker I never eved noticed that box before :dunker I feel like an idiot!It's amazing how few people do. I know a few of the more experience layers were glad to hear about it when I mentioned using it when I started doing these properly too

A year + of messing around before Mat pointed it out, he's my Betfair hero!:D

[podtog]

Great stuff Vegy, all this time Ive been sat there with a calculator working it out on every bet :)

[rusko]

Can't seem to find this stake box, where exactly is it?

[presto]

click the lay box
just go up and right a little, and press liability
a new box comes up 'max liability'
enter your max liability and press ok.

[rusko]

Got it now thanks, why don't Betfair tell you this to start with?

[sparkyminer]

Do you have to click it every lay or can you make it automatic? If you know what I mean. :geek :doh

You have tyo click it for every race!

[sparkyminer]

Cheers mate.:)

[vegyjones]

If there's 4 horses in a race,
and you are laying them all to the same liability

Just press the lay box for each horse,
the press the liability button,
enter your liability, and it will work
it out for all 4 horses instantly...

But you have to go through that proceedure
for every race!

They do, but unless you want them to come round to your house and click the mouse for you, then you will have to click the occassional link/button on the Internet yourself :rolleyes:

The commission some of you pay, they ruddy well should do! :yikes:

[mathare]

I should scare myself silly tonight and work out how much I have paid to Betfair in commission.

[presto]

around £20k a year. :yikes:

[Win2Win]

Nothing anywhere near what you'd be paying the taxman & bookies prior to the law changes & Betfair....imagine a fixed 10% :yikes:

[icebreaker]

I remember when it was 20% tax on stakes.
And a limit of 250/1 on accumulators. We must have been mad to even have a bet!

[Win2Win]

Max payout on multiples £20,000 :yikes: Now it's £1 Million

[Stewards enquiry]

The times I wished it had been £1 million when I picked up the £20,000's. :REGamblMo
