It's been a while and I am very rusty. I want to know how I create an insurance/cover bet in bet angel pro. I can mess around with excel but I just want to fire and forget. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You could consider the dutching feature - which allows you to overide the profit target to zero on some selections.

No it doesn't do those things. But if you wanted to pick 1 runner to give you a win but considered 1(or more) of the others to be the likely threat you could select both in the dutching feature and overide the profit target to zero on the threat runner(s) - This means you win if your chosen horse wins, you get your money back if the threat horse wins, you lose if neither wins. All assuming the odds allow of course.
