I assume you mean the staking method?

If so you can revert back to the older now 'Legacy' staking method in the 'Staking & Liability' area of your main settings

I do understand what you meaant changing the values in settings, Does this change th tick fo this purpose? as well. Itried it today in the racing I was getting all sorts greening values not the on e I was changing in settings like you kindly suggested
Just another quick question please

If you can give me the time during that video that your refering I should be able to advise to as its to not clear from your message what you mean?

I don't have the time to do any screen sharing but if you can provide more details on whats not happening for you and maybe include some screenshots and the log or if possible a short video that would help?

So it is the staking method you were refering to

I'm just not sure of the question about it though, you can still use that method with the newer staking method the software now has be default, the only difference is the amount uses your preset stake rather than you having to enter it in to a staking method area

Or you can revert back to the older staking methods and use it exactly as shown in the video

It depends on the price the bets placed at,

You can only use one staking method at a time as they are all different to do different things, the following page of the user guide explains what they all do

You can only control the liability when using the staking method 'by liabilty'

Staking by tick size as shown in that video means you set the amount you want to make per tick and BA will calculate the stake needed to make that - dependant on the price you place the bet at, the lower the price the higher the stake will need to be.

The old staking method can only use the current best price to calculate the stake needed, the new one lets you use any price you want
