New Version 1.27.1

[BAP-Admin]

Hi all,

The latest version of Bet Angel Professional for Betfair is now out of beta. We recommend that everyone update to this version as soon as possible. Remember that existing users can update for free, just visit the download page.

Changes/New Features

Offset batches

Offset batches added to global settings - when offsetting with fill or kill, offset bets are placed as the initial bet is filled.

If Offset Batches is set to 1, then Bet Angel behaves as in previous builds. i.e. the offset only occurs when the entire initial bet is filled (or when the fill or kill timer expires.

If Offset Batches is set to 5, then Bet Angel is allowed to offset the initial bet using up to 5 bets while the fill or timer is running; If you used a stake of £100, then the offset batch size is £20 (£100 divided by the 5 batches), so when at least £20 of the initial bet is filled the first offset bet will be placed. Another will be placed when at least £40 has been filled. Another when at least £60 is filled etc. Until it's fully offset or the fill or kill timer expires

Someone that isn't too worried about exceeding the transaction charging limit of 1000 bets per hours may wish to set the 'Offset batches' setting to a high number to continuously feed offset bets into the market as the initial bet fills. Those more concerned about transactions will probably want to use a lower number of batches.

Global Settings Editor

Press the Star (favourites) button to the right of the global settings picklist to show the Global Settings Editor. You can save your favourite global settings configurations by name and that name will be added to the global settings picklist for easy switching between settings.

Excel

Added an Excel tab to the settings editor to allow international users to choose the locale appropriate to their PC and the version of Excel installed.

Guardian / Excel

Fixed Excel binding bug that was raised on the forum. The bound sheet was jumping from one market to another when a market was deleted from the list.

Added new Binding features to the Excel tab

Clear Bindings - clears the 'Excel Sheet' column to remove the current bindings between Guardian and Excel

Auto-bind Bet Angel sheets - when checked Guardian will automatically bind each unallocated sheet (whose name starts with 'Bet Angel') in the workbook to the next market in the market list. Note: Settled markets will be ignored. The sort order of the market list is significant (the binding always works from top to bottom), so you may wish to sort the list by start time or volume matched before binding.

Auto-clear Bindings - clear the 'Excel Sheet' cell when a market is settled. This frees up the Excel sheet for allocation to a different market by the Auto-bind facility.

Advanced Settings - Restricted Refresh option - when checked, Guardian will only refresh a market if it's start time is in the specified time window. The default time window is 20 mins before the start to 15 mins after. This optimises the refresh of those markets so that Guardian cycles round the current markets more quickly.

When used in conjunction with the Auto-bind facility, Guardian will only bind a market to Excel when it's start time is inside the 'Restricted Refresh' time window.
