We are pleased to announce that a new beta version of Bet Angel Professional is available v1.48.1

Edit: This build is now out of beta and is on general release

Download it from here: - https://www.betangel.com/securedownload ... _beta1.exe

Following feedback and suggestions from our community this version sees the introduction of optimised greening for markets with two selections, plus a number of other enhancements, optimisations, and a few fixes for obscure bugs.

Greening

A new ‘Green Up’ tab has been added in the main ‘Settings Editor’, where all the Greening options can now be accessed, including these two new features:

1) Optimised green up calculation for two selection markets. Bet Angel will calculate the stake and price required to green up both selections with a single bet, choosing the selection that maximises profit. This is particular beneficial in tennis and cricket markets, but can be used on any win only market with two selections. When enabled via the settings screen, Bet Angel will automatically switch to this method when it detects an appropriate market (otherwise it will continue to green up using the original method).

Note: When using the Ladder Trading Profit column with this feature enabled, you will continue to be able to choose the price and selection to use to exit, but the stake to be used (and profit displayed) will reflect the single bet greening both selections at once.

2) The choice of whether to cancel unmatched bets on a selection when greening/closing a trade is now fully customisable by the user. Now (if ticked) you can cancel all unmatched bets on a selection when using the Ladder's Trading Profit column, when Manual Greening, when greening from the watch list etc.

Unless you make any changes by default the current settings from v1.47.0 will be used.

Guardian/Advanced Automation

Previously we’ve offered to ability to ‘Fix the Order of Market Selections’ when automating – this allowed you to sort the selections in order of favouritism until you trigger the rule and then freeze the order from that point onward. This was particular useful when trying to work with the same selection consistently over a number of rule triggers. Well now, you can also ‘Unfix the Order of Market Selections’ to release the freeze and start re-sorting again. This has been requested by customers that want to fix the order of runners pre-off, but then sort again during the in-play race.
The ability to manually ‘Clear All Signals’ that have been set has been added to Guardian's Automation pane picklist.

Excel

On the Excel settings page is a customisation to ignore/include betting commands placed on Excel sheets when the market time is outside of the Restricted Refresh time window. This defaults to 'ignore' as that's the most optimised way of interacting with Excel, but customers using Excel to place bets outside of the Restricted Refresh window will probably want to tick the box to allow scanning of those markets.

Keyboard Shortcuts

A New 'Guardian' category has been added to the Keyboard Shortcuts editor with the shortcut actions ‘Remove automation rules from ALL markets’ & ‘Remove markets from Guardian (all, suspended or closed)'.

Unmatched Bets Cancel Button

Cancel buttons on the Ladder can now be highlighted when the selection has any unmatched bets. The 'Cancel' text can also be changed to show either the number of unmatched bets or the total value of the unmatched bets on a selection. These options can be enabled from the ‘Ladder’ tab in the Settings Editor.

Other

Support for Romanian currency (RON) has now been added

Bug fix: when initialising a market with 1000+ matched bets when streaming is enabled

Bug fix: Reinitialise bet information for all markets in Guardian when switching on Streaming (issue only occurred when markets with unmatched bets were pre-loaded into Guardian with Restricted Refresh enabled and streaming off. If a bet was matched in the background before streaming was enabled, Bet Angel wouldn't know about it until a new bet was placed into the market).

Bug fix: Contents of Automation picklist in the Guardian market grid could be updated with old values when a previously saved layout was loaded.

Edit: Links updated for the .1 version of the beta that has just been released. Following customer requests: Includes ability to use Automation to Close Trade or Green All Selections using the Reverse price instead of the current price. The price option is selected via the Parameters page in the Automation Editor. Also, the Green All Selections keyboard shortcut has been given the option to use the reverse price.
A new keyboard shortcut has been added to the Guardian section to aid the reuse of a particular Excel binding in the Guardian market grid.

Particularly like the change to the cancel button. I must have lost a couple of grand over the years by forgetting I had a bet outside the money on a selection which then gets hoovered up.

Yippee, something to to while away an otherwise dull afternoon BUT RELAX NOT!
I can see a definite market for a joystick enhancement, something needs to be done about start time management, SHR wants proper raceourse distances, and how about a "just give me the money" button?

Not too much to ask is it?

I'm still getting 2 different amounts in the trading profit column for both selections. Each ladder seems to be being treated separately.

Wasn't expecting this. Thought both of these columns would have the same greening/red amounts in them at the respective prices.

e.g. £40 red at 1.41 on ladder 1 & £40 red at 3.45 on ladder 2

Have I set this up properly?

Thanks

The values are still going to be slightly different on each price on each ladder because with that column you are nominating the price and selection to use to exit. However the stake to be used will be combined so that one bet will balance the P&L for both selections.
It will typically be more profitable to exit with the selection with the tightest price increments, but that's not always the case (depending on net stake, book% etc).

If you just want to exit based for the maximum profit at that time (and don't want the additional control of selection and price) then just use the green all value in the toolbar..... that will always hunt for the bet that gives maximum profit at the current best market prices.

If however, you are seeing wildly different values, then upload a screenshot and we'll have a look. All it takes to activate the feature is to tick the setting on the Green Up page and then find a two selection market.

The cricket mkts (non IPL), have become incredibly gappy.

I imagine this is an impossible task, but, is thre any way to protect users, from taking red/green, when the spread between bid/ask, is say, over 15 ticks ?

I have enabled the new 'greening formula', but, havent really noticed any change yet .. but, its early days.

An easy way to do that would be to implement a threshold on the over/underround, it's what I use when entering a potential gappy market.

Thanks Peter - each column did have vastly different values yesterday. Will have another look today and send screenshot through to support if necessary. Have tick box selected in settings though.

EDIT:

A quick example....not getting same green-up option on 2nd ladder and green up figure should be around £29.

If that 'greening bet prevention' option was added we'd need to make it very obvious to the user that the bet had been stopped.... e.g. A popup message that would need to be acknowledged. Otherwise we're going to get support queries along the lines of 'I greened-up but nothing happened'!

In situations like this, wouldn't you just offer a greening bet somewhere in the middle of the spread using the Trading Profit Column on the ladder?
