Smarter, Faster, Customisable Betfair trading
If you’re new to Betfair trading software like Bet Angel, but have used and are familiar with the Betfair exchange itself. The one-click betting screen of Bet Angel is great if you are familiar with the standard Betfair website. Most Betfair trading software includes something similar where the Betfair web site is replaced with a one-click trading interface that is largely similar.
Why Bet Angel’s ‘one-click’ screen is so unique
Bet Angel’s one-click trading screen is very different from other Betfair trading software you may have used, however. Rather than just placing a back or lay bet with one click, the first thing you will notice is that it is fully customisable. This means you can personalise it very specifically to your own Betfair trading strategy or style. This will give you an edge by improving your trading execution and speed against traders who can’t use these sort of feature, but that’s just the start.
Rather than using different bits of software for trading different sports. The full customisation on Bet Angel means you can create and save your own unique custom columns, as well giving you the option to customise your own buttons to these columns. It even allows you to adapt your trading across different sports by saving the screen as your own profile, making it quick and easy to switch between different saved profiles as you change sports or strategies. You can do this with a click of the mouse or via the keyboard shortcut editor. One-click of your mouse or keyboard and the layout can change instantly to your favoured screen set up.
When you first fire up Bet Angel, the standard ‘one-click’ screen looks like this: you’ll notice straight away how similar it is to the Betfair trading screen.
How your own ‘one-click’ screen can make you faster than other traders!
One advantage of the layout of the one-click screen is that it allows you more customisation than a traditional ladder interface. You can see below we have an example of a customised Bet Angel ‘one-click’ screen on a horse race. You can make your screen as simple or complex as you wish. But here is a simple use of some of the enhanced features of the one-click screen.
Perks of this custom ‘one screen’:
- Back at 1.01 column: Very useful for trading in-play – helps you be sure of a match during later stages of the race
- Back and lay 10 columns above and below current price – helps make quick decisions while trading
- Cancel back, lay and all unmatched bets with a single click column – allows you to trade faster and smarter!
- You can get ahead of any price movement with confidence knowing exactly what price you will trigger at with your trade
- Get your trade to performed trading functions automatically with just one-click.
How to be smart with your customisable screen
In the next example, I’ve added three further columns, these aren’t active buttons so won’t do anything when clicked, instead, they are displaying real time information. Having this extra information allows you to trade smartly.
For example, I have used Form and High / Low traded prices for each runner. This gives you a distinct advantage over other traders as you can display information others cannot see…
Perks of this custom ‘one screen’:
- There are multiple additional information options available to choose from when personalising your ladders
- It is simple to move the columns where you like on the ladder simply by pressing and holding the left mouse button down and dragging it to its new location before releasing the mouse button
- Having extra information keeps you in constant attention of the moving market, keeping you ahead of the game.
Customisable for the way that you trade and for your sport
As well as pre-set information its also possible to display your own unique stored values, these can be of almost anything you want!
In the following image, I’ve stored the value of the odds at 5, 4 and 3-minute intervals, which gives a nice simple overview of how the prices are moving over time. You can of course use whatever interval and number of columns you want.
Now you can manipulate key information in the market that helps develop and assist the way you trade. It also displays information that other traders may not have access to.
A final example also uses stored values this time to display ‘Set, Game, Points and who is serving’ in a tennis match.
