New version of Bet Angel

Not wanting to rest on our laurels we are back with another new beta version of Bet Angel. You can download it here. This upgrade is free of charge to existing users, no need to enter a serial number or place a new order, just download and log in as normal.

It's important for us to keep pushing forward, because doing that allows you and I to retain our edge in the market. That's why we are always looking to put new features in Bet Angel and improve existing ones.

In this launch the key changes are to the Ladder interface and a small update to the charting. Read more a bit further down.

Join our campaign - UPDATE

Read the original blog post to appraise yourself of where this started. But Betfair have responded positively by changing the web site, albeit slightly. They have also re-opened and commented on the suggestion. To read the comment, vote or to add your thoughts, visit this link. It's positive result for us, but still a work in progress!

Bet Angel Blog - Blog poll

If you are looking for the latest industry news, a view on the specific markets, or perhaps interested in what I am up to, visit the blog.

One underused area of the blog is the poll area. When I speak to Betfair I'll always represent the views of Bet Angel users with them, but it adds a lot more weight if you express your opinion via the poll or via commetns. My views and representations of your needs carry much more weight if backed up with some weight. So please try and check in now and again and vote and comment.

New version of Bet Angel - Updates in version 1.35

We made some more performance enhancements in the latest version of Bet Angel, so this is the fastest yet. But the most visable key changes in the latest version of Bet Angel revolve around the ladder, the range of settings you now have available and ability to use multiple ladders on multiple markets.

Brand new ability to spawn multiple ladders to trade multiple markets - Watch video

A major upgrade on this version of Bet Angel is the ability to right click in Guardian, the watch lists and the market selection area to spawn additional ladders on top of the current market you are working in.

This means you can now trade multiple markets on multiple ladders outside of the Guardian interface. If you want to trade multiple markets on the ladder on the same event, on different events or on different sports it's now possible to do that quickly and easily.

New multiple ladder enhancement - Watch video

We have made the ladder interface more customisable than ever. You can now configure the ladder pane on Bet Angel to display up to ten ladders and all them can be split across a number of rows. This allows you to view many selection on one panel and easily trade across all those selections.

For example, if you are a six selection market you can now display six ladders in a three by two view of the market for ease of trading. Undock the ladder to create a bigger view of the ladder and more room to trade. The ladders will always maximise the number of rows to fit the window pane you have created.

Ladder customisation - Watch video

In line with this increased flexibility detailed above we have also also increase the range of customisation you can achieve on the ladder. This includes the cell height and width, the font size, column width, gap to other columns, gaps between ladders. Basically we have made the display as customisable as you could wish.

This will allow you to create and save very specific market views and improve the flexibility of how you want to display information and how you trade using that information.

Enhanced chart on Ladder interface - Watch video

The enhanced chart on the ladder interface now includes advanced charting, rather than the 'old style' charting. You don't need to use the embedded enhanced ladder charting, you can still spawn as many charts as you wish, but this specific area has been enhanced.

This improvement means you can apply a custom advanced chart to the enhanced ladder area. You can also vary the width of the enhanced chart to suit how you have set up your ladder. All the information aspects of the enhanced charting are still there but on a tab in the same area.

The charting is context sensitive so as you move your mouse over the ladders the chart will change automatically to display information on that runner. No need to select the chart from the drop down menu.

Additional option on advanced charting - Watch video

If you display an advanced chart you now also have an additional tick box, 'two column'. This gives you the ability to split charts horizontally as well as vertically, giving you a lot more flexibility on how you display your information.

It's a minor change but one that you will want to familiarise yourself with as it increases the flexibility of the charting and how you would want to use it. We have always allowed you to display multiple indicators vertically but this effectively doubles your ability by extending it horizontally.

Enjoy

We hope you enjoy the new build and are always open to new suggestions which you can post in the forum. Sometimes we can't do things in the order we would like, but we always listen to your suggestions and take them on board.

Best of luck trading this weekend.

Best regards,
