Wondered if anyone could advise on this.

I love scalp-trading horses in the five minutes leading up to a race. With a bank of £600, what would traders here advise is the best 'tick size auto stake' to use? At the moment, I only have it set to £1 which of course makes for very small amounts when greening up. I use Betfair Angel as my software and am trying to optimise settings.

Thank you.

Light on the ground again. Nothing hit yesterday and no selections today

Two potentials. 3.5-9 odds only

Too short to Trob, but could get a dob on. Will back to win as well

Smashed home. Dob and Win. Not an official one as below the usual 3.5 but nice none the less

It ran into 1.03 yesterday so did well. Annoying Betfair cancelled my lay but I wouldn’t have complained if it had won.

Nothing today

I couldn't watch live so stuck 1pt on at 5.4 and hedged it at 2.20 so made around 1.4pts - thanks John!

I think Betfair cancelled my lay for some reason. It may have even trobbed. Don’t know yet. Grrr

The one Trob. Currently in range and no reason why that should change.

Placed second but didn’t run in enough

@martin be nice if we could get place stuff in here as well. Untapped markets those

testing yours and my pace ones to so far

[John Folan]

Nothing again today. Very dry at the moment

@john-folan I like place due to the much less variance, still 90% to track so far too early to make any assumptions but it's interesting nonetheless

[John Folan]

@martin sweet. The place looks lovely. Wins always been a big part of these for me.

This is why I like sharing stuff. Always someone who can spot another angle and either make me or save me money.

Good thing I don’t have an ego that cuts off my nose to spite my face lol.
