Betfair SP

[mathare]

Is there a way to take Betfair SP for unmatched bets automatically? I know you can select the relevant radio button for each bet but is there a way to set that as the deafult rather than cancelling when the market goes in-running?

I can't even find the general options/preferences on Betfair any more as I haven't used it for so long!

Erm, no I don't think so Mat. You have to select it with the button on each one. The options button is just above the market on the right

Thanks Matt.

I selected for my lays to use BSP if unmatched as I was going out shopping with the missus and have just got back to find one went off at an SP of 18.07! I don't think I'll use that option again.

If you had a fixed stake at £20 pound per point and left an order at 11.00 but ticked the SP box it cancels the unmatched order at the off and takes the £200 liabilty you would have had if the original bet was matched and uses that as a fixed liability with the price that is the betfair SP.

Hope you did not get too burnt with it. If its any comfort I somehow managed to catch it at cut off so you not alone.

Sherjawry in the 5.05 at Kempton on the layem.It was too big a price when I was placing my orders (around 1.30pm) so immediately scrubbed it. Sorry to hear you hit it. It was Pinball that drifted to 18.07 for me but lost, fortunately.
