(Really enjoying Servants, thanks for all the effort :D )

I know once it's been used in anger for a while you get a better feel for what could be different but an initial observation;

I can already see how I can use >3 servants and although you can start them via the Control tab, other ways to start them might be useful such as:
  • Drag and drop servants onto selections from a list
  • Right click on the odds column (or any selection's unused area) to popup a list of all those available for you to start & stop
  • Assign servants to keyboard shortcuts
This could be useful when moving between different types, before & after a market goes in-play or for liquid and illiquid markets. KISS is an obvious concern and the current implementation is really good.

The number of unmatched bets condition, is just by selection or market.

I would find it v helpful, for the condition to be expanded, so you could test, based on unmatched Back or Lay bets.

Thx

There has been a new 'Cancel unmatched bets on Selection (price dependant)' added to the list of rules, when chosen you will get the option to set this for unmatched back, lays < or > than a price etc

Yes you can do that in the current build - see the 'Automation Servants' category of the Keyboard Shortcuts Editor

Is there a chance the market Goal lines will get a figure added to them like the asians?

Still no option to set the minimum BSP odds to be taken? Via the spreadsheet ideally.

Minimum SP isn't a feature that's available on the exchange, only on the sportsbook.

Biggest thing missing from BA for me is stll the lack of a countdown clock for submitted bets when using the ladder.

e.g. if I submit 2 bets it is hard to guage when they will hit the market and at what price.

In fast moving in-play markets not having this is a big handicap.

Hopefully this feature will appear in an upcoming version soon :)

If you bring up the "English Premier League - Straight Tricast 2017/18" market and then click the ladder tab and see if you know which selection is which.

As you can't, perhaps if the cursor were hovered on the selection you should be able to see the entire selection rather than guess.

Hopefully as these are in the main simple layout issues, they can be easily added to the next release v1.49.1 and would be much appreciated guys!

"I often find that I'm playing an in-play market which consists of two teams plus substitues with the selections all mixed up wasting valuable time in finding the desired selection. The unused substitutes or those that have already been substituted get right in the way. A custom order sort would solve this problem. What I would find really useful would be to be able to custom sort the order of the selections in the same way as you can when using the ladder screens (for up to 12 selections). In that way I could ensure the selections for 1 team were at the top and the selections for the other team were at the bottom of the one-click screen and in-play trader screen.

Also for the one-click screen would like to be able to split the screen into two columns left and right, so I could have one team on the left and the other team on the right - that would be really useful as all selections would be visible at a glance rather than needing to scroll up or down which wastes valuable time when there are more than 20 selections in the market. An alternative way to achieve this is to run two sets of BetAngel simultaneously have each take up half a computer screen side by side - but surely this shouldn't be necessary?

On the one-click screen you can sort by 'First Name' and sort by 'P&L' - an option to be able to sort by 'Surname' as well as and/or rather than by 'First Name' would also be incredibly useful - I could have really used that feature last Monday and on many other occassions.

It would also be most useful if there were 'sort by Surname (Ascending)', 'sort by Surname (Descending)', 'sort by First Name (Ascending)', and 'sort by First Name (Descending)' options on the In-play Trader sorting drop-down list. Alternatively or as well as, a simple 'drag-and-drop' feature would allow the selections to be ordered as desired

Finally, it would be great to be able to have several one-click windows open for different markets at the same time and to be able to open a market into one of these one-click windows in the same way as you can open a new market into a new ladder window by right clicking on the market in Guardian and selecting 'Display market in a new ladder window' - all this would take is the added option to 'Display market in a new one-click window'.

I really would find these custom sorting and one-click layout additions incredible uselful and as such I'm sure many others would too.

Keep up the good work guys - any questions please don't hesitate to ask - thank you :)"

Can't see how either quoted part would be feasible Tuco. How would a horse like Un Temps Pour Tout be classified by first or last name? Or Twiston-Davies jockey?

I was wanting it to use on human names, so 'first name' and 'last name' (rather than surname) would do - I guess Twiston-Davies would come under 'T' and last name for the horse would also be fine on this 'last name' sorting.

Of course, not all features will be useful to everyone and/or for every event or market, but this sorting will make it possible in certain markets at certain times, to enable me to get my back and/or lay bets matched in the quickest time with the least fuss - and that is the ultimate purpose of BetAngel.

Imagine having to look down a list of 80+ selections all in a random order in an in-play fastest-finger situation - custom sorting as outlined above will make that scenario a lot easier.

In addition to my previous posts about layout improvments for the next gen BA with custom sorting of the one-click screen etc. could I also ask that the next version increases the maximum number of ladders from 12 to 18 ladders.

I run 24" screens where it is nice to have 6 columns and 2 rows but this could be increased to 6 columns and 3 rows offering 18 different selections at a glance. As fewer ticks would be visible it would be useful in markets with little spread, but there are many of those.

Please do read and if possible incomporate the previously mentioned improvements into the next version as I and I'm sure several others will appreciate the benefits they bring.

Thanks and keep up the good work, BA!
