Hi

I am a regular user of Bet Angel but made a rookie error earlier on a Football market...

I accidently clicked on a lay of 110 when the market lacked liquidity when the actual price would of been around 3.0... Luckily it was only for £2 and I partially recovered..

My question is there a way to set a maximum lay price on the ladder and grid so my bet wouldn't be accepted in future if I made same mistake...

TIA

You can set a maximum liability on the settings > stakes tab. I don't think you can set a maximum price if you're manually trading.

If you use a Servant to place the bet you can add a 'fixed odds condition' to test the price is less than 'X'

When you start the servant if the price exceeds your specified price it won't place the bet
