How do I place a SP bet with Bet Angel

Modified on Sun, 23 Apr, 2023 at 12:46 PM

There are two ways to place an SP bet through Bet Angel

1, Place a bet 'outside of the money' and then click the 'Take SP All' button located just above the unmatched bets area

For example, if you want to place a BACK bet at SP then place the bet at 1000. The bet will remain unmatched unless the market actually hits 1000. Similarly, if you wish to place a LAY bet at SP then place the bet at 1.01. This will remain unmatched unless the market actually reaches 1.01.

Then click the 'Take SP ALL' button just before the start of the event and your bets will be matched at the Betfair SP.

You can also create an automation file with a 'Take SP on all Unmatched Bets' rule and arm that to trigger as your desired time.

An advantage of this method means if you change your mind the unmatched bet can still be cancelled, a disadvantage is if using very large stakes relative to the market it may not all get matched at SP 


2, There is also a 'Place SP Back Bet' rule, and 'Place SP Lay Bet' rule, this places SP bets in the same way as if you were submitting them via the Betfair website, ie you can set limits to the price you are willing to accept, so once placed these bets can not be cancelled or modified as its placed into Betfair SP Pool of bets, this also means it will definitely be matched when Betfair reconcile the SP
