Hi all,

In Bet Angel, when you goto Dutching, you can lay all horses in the race for a positive profit, am I missing something here, there is usually a green figure, indicating that no matter the outcome you are guaranteed x profit

Could someone please clarify I must be missing something?

Thanks

The dutching tool only places back bets, for lay bets you need to use the bookmaking tool

Thanks Dallas, for speedy reply,

Next question, what is the point of the LAY column in the Dutching section then?

You can manually adjust the odds and place your back bets at any price you want, the reason for the lay column is so you can quickly offer back bets at the current lay price

HI Dallas,

Do you know the formula used to calculate Book % (from odds addition is it)?

Its 1 Divided by Odds Multiplied by 100

ie, 1/3.35 * 100 = 30%
