A Geeks Toy Complete Manual

Introduction

Welcome to The Toy, a completely free to use Betfair trading application. It has been designed in

such a way as to make it simple and easy to use but at the same time take advantage of numerous

new innovative and powerful features. Please read all of the sections in “Getting Started” before

using the application.

When the application first opens, it shows the Main Info Bar, this enables you to quickly navigate to

markets by using the Market Navigator window.

Right Mouse Button

A key design feature of the application is the use of your right mouse button. Throughout the

application the right mouse button has numerous functions thus hugely improving your speed and

ability to trade and use the application.

Help buttons

Right click menu

Confirm Bets is turned on as

default upon installation. To

turn it off select it on the

Main Info Bar right click menu

Right Click Menus

Every window within the application has its own set of right click menus, which allow you to change

the settings for that specific window. In order to access the right click menu you simply click over the

header of the window and the menu options will be displayed.

Help Files

There is a detailed user manual for the application with each section of the application and the

accompanying menus and options explained. These help files can be viewed by clicking on the help

button of the relevant window, or by selecting “Control Help” in the drop down box above this page.

It is suggested that once familiar with the application, you look at each window’s help file to see all

the features available. If you are going to use the application, please ensure you have a good

understanding of the Betfair sports exchange.

The application default settings are set as such so that those used to the Betfair website and other

trading applications should be able to use it straight out of the box.

Support

Limited support will be provided for the application via the chat forum. This can be accessed by

selecting “User Forum” from the left drop down box above this page.

Disclaimer

This application cannot make you money on Betfair. With skill, patience, the right mindset and an

understanding of the markets, it may be possible for you to make money.

One fact not generally advertised by most in this industry is that at least 5 out of 6 people fail to

make consistent profits on Betfair.

Trading on Betfair is gambling. Instead of gambling on the outcome of the market, you are gambling

on whether the price moves up or down. If you are new to Betfair, start by using small stakes until

you can make money, and never play with any money you cannot afford to lose.

Warranty

This product is provided free of charge, so no warranty is given. Use of the product is therefore

wholly at your own risk. You should not play with any large amounts of money, unless you are both

confident in the use of the application, and the application is stable on your computer.

Layout and Settings

The layout of the application has been designed to make it very easy to use. Throughout it has been

made to replicate the layout used by Betfair.

However, there are many enhancements and options that allow the user to customise the software

to their specific needs and style. To alter the layout options of the various windows you simply right

click over the window header and adjust the options to achieve your desired layout. The application

will remember all of the settings that were in place when the application was shutdown. Therefore,

when started up again you can just carry on from where you left off.

Memory

Whenever the application is shutdown it will remember the position you last had the various

windows open in and when the windows are next opened it will open the windows in exactly the

same position. This therefore removes the need to reposition windows each time the windows or

the application is loaded.

Opening the Ladder Interface

When first installed, opening a market from the Market Navigator will show the grid interface. If you

right click on the header of the grid, and select “Show Ladder” the ladder interface will appear.

To change the default interface shown when opening a market, right click on the header of the

“Market Navigator” window and select an option from the “Default Market Open” menu.

How Many Ladders Would You Like?

When first using the application, you will be presented with 3 ladders in the Ladder interface. One

of the many innovative additions is the ability to have as many as 60 ladders per market. Up to 20

ladders can be displayed on each row and a total of three rows can be displayed, thus giving an

unrivalled overview of the market. You are only limited by your screen space.

To configure the number of ladders you require select “Ladder Layout”, “Max Columns” or “Ladder

Layout”, “Max Rows” from the Ladder menu.

Introducing the 3 Column Ladder

One of the many innovative features is the ability to narrow down each individual ladder to just 3

columns, as shown below. This therefore saves valuable screen space, which in turn means more

ladders can be fitted on your screen.

Ladder interface showing 3 column Ladder

As can be seen in the image above, rather than having separate unmatched bet columns, the

unmatched bets are displayed in the price column. There is a £10 unmatched Back bet on the first

selection at 5.1 and a £10 unmatched Lay bet at 4.2. For more information about the various Ladder

settings please refer to the Ladder Help Section.

Standard Layouts

The application has one of the most customisable Ladder interfaces in use today. To save time,

some template layouts have been provided. These layouts can be accessed by selecting “Standard

Layouts” from the Ladder menu.

In order to make the transition to the application as easy as possible, 3 of the layouts replicate other

commercially available applications.

Multi Market Trading

One of the many innovative features of the application is the ability to display more than one market

at a time. It is possible for example to display both the Win market and Place market for an

individual Horse Race simultaneously, as shown below. There is no limit to the number of markets

that can be loaded at the same time.

Both the Win and Place Market for a Horse Racing market being displayed at the same time

The method through which to load the additional markets varies slightly depending on which part of

the application you are using. Therefore, you should refer to the help section for the specific window

for further information about loading additional markets.

The market that is active is the market that the mouse is currently over. The description of the active

market will also be displayed in the header of the Main Info Bar. In the above image it can be seen

that the Main Info Bar is displaying in its header ’14:10 Goodwood – To Be Placed’ therefore

showing the Place market is the active market.

API Calls for Multiple Markets

When more than one market is loaded at a time how the data calls are made for the additional

markets is different to how they are made for the active market. The active market has data call

priority over the additional markets loaded which use the spare data call capacity. For further

information about how the data calls are made when more than one market is loaded please refer

to the API Settings Manager help section.

The resizing of windows vertically is achieved by clicking in the bottom right hand corner of the

window where the border is dotted (the mouse pointer will change to a diagonal arrow) and

dragging the bottom of the window up or down to your desired maximum height. If the window is

made bigger than is currently needed for the information to be displayed the window will only take

up the required screen space. However, as more information is displayed in the window it will

expand to the maximum height you set the window to.

If the window contains more information than can be displayed in the maximum height you set the

window to, a scroll bar will be displayed on the right allowing you to move up and down the

information.

Using with Multiple Monitors

When using the application with 2 or more monitors, your topmost, leftmost monitor should be your

primary monitor. To check it is, right click on your desktop, select Properties from the menu and

click the Settings tab.

Select the topmost, leftmost monitor and ensure “Use this device as my primary monitor” is

checked.

Where Have My Stake Buttons Gone?

Rather than just having a few stake buttons like most other applications, this application has an

unlimited number of ‘stake buttons’. These ‘stake buttons’ buttons are found in the Stake Menu

which is used throughout the application and provides a quick way of selecting your preset stakes.

The Stake Menu is accessed by right clicking in the relevant area, for example, the Stake Box in the

Place Bets window. The menu will be displayed and you can then left click or right click the desired

stake. Depending on where the Stake Menu is being used, selecting the stake with a left click or

right click will perform different functions.

Adding a Stake

To add a new stake to the Stake Menu you simply type the new stake into the Stake Box and then

right click to bring up the Stake Menu. At the top of the Stake Menu the new stake will be shown

preceded by a ‘+’ as shown below. If you then left or right click on this, the new stake will be added

to the Stake Menu. Remember the left or right click action will also be performed, for example,

right clicking will immediately submit the bet in the Place Bets window.

Removing a Stake

To remove a stake from the Stake Menu you simply type the stake into the Stake Box and then right

click to bring up the Stake Menu. At the top of the Stake Menu the stake will be shown preceded by

a ‘-’ as shown below. If you then left or right click on this, the stake will be removed from the Stake

Advanced Charting

The various charts show an historical view of the market for a variety of metrics. This enables you to see at a glance the history for the various metrics for one or more selections. You can have up to 3 separate sets on advanced charting, each set with its own configuration options. Each set can include from 1 to as many charts as you require, with a unique & completely customisable way of laying them out. Set 1 & 2 are floating windows, and can be launched by clicking on the launch chart icons of the respective selections in the grid or the ladder. Set 3 are embedded in the ladder, and relate to the runner in that ladder. By selecting the Ladder menu -> Ladder Layout -> Streaming Charts options, you can determine the chart placement in the ladder. There are 5 options for the embedded ladder chart placement Off, In chart Column, Top, Bottom, Very Bottom. In the below image you can see one possible configuration of the In Chart Column setting.

The floating chart sets can be launched from either the grid or the ladder by clicking on the respective launch Icons as shown above. There are 3 defined sets of behaviour for the floating charts, which can be set from the Main Info Bar Menu -> Streaming Chart Options. These are….

1. Current Selection – Up to one window of each floating chart set will be displayed. Whichever selection your mouse is currently over, the information for this runner will be displayed in the window.

2. Multi Selection – Up to one window of each chat set per selection will be displayed. These are tied to the grid order in the application.

3. Multi Selection Ladder. - Up to one window of each chat set per selection will be displayed. These are tied to the ladder order in the application.

NB There is an option in the Ladder Menu called Use Global Ordering. If this option is switched on, the grid & other controls always track the ladder ordering. As such there is no difference between Multi Selection & Multi Selection Ladder in this mode.

Charting Set Layout Options Each charting set can be configured to display one or more charts as per your preferences. To configure the number of charts, the type of charts and the layout, right click on the respective chart to bring up the menu. When you first use each chart set, a single Line chart will display. To change this chart to one of the other chart types, select This Chart Is… from the menu. To add an additional chart, select Layout->Add Splitter from the menu. This will add a horizontal splitter to the chart set with an additional Line chart. Should you wish to change the splitters orientation to vertical, select Layout->Splitter Orientation->Vertical from the menu. Below you will see the menu for a floating 2-chart configuration.

Charting Saving / Loading The option already exists in the application to save and load entire profiles, which remembers all settings including the charts for fast recall at a later date. In addition the application will always remember your current settings when you close down for your next use. However a useful addition is you can also save & load your own customised individual charts. These charts include all settings for that particular chart. You can save, load and delete these custom charts using the Load Custom Chart, Save Chart As… and Delete Custom Chart options. This is useful for copying charts between various profiles and sharing them with friends.

Other Common Menu Options The following menu options apply to one or more of the various streaming charts.

Chart Range (Seconds) – This is the time span that the chart data covers.

Sample Range (Seconds) – This is how often the chart is updated. Note: Chart redraws are processor intensive. By default the chart sample rate is set a 1 second or more. Should you find application use sluggish, turn you sample rates down. {Higher number.}

Auto Shrink – When checked the chart Y-Axis will auto shrink to the data within.

Colour Scheme – Sets the chart to one of the pre-defined colour schemes.

Chart Background – Sets the colours & gradient fill for the background of the chart.

Each shows the Opening, High, Low and Close based upon the user defined sample rate. Visually though they are slightly different in nature, with candle charts representing this data as Bars instead of lines. First we see an OLHC chart…

And here a Japanese Candlestick representation

You can choose between either using the Chart Type option from the menu. You can also choose whether the chart plots on the back, lay or last traded price from the Chart Data menu option. Further configuration options include allowing the user to change the bar colours and configuring 2 moving average line indicators, and Bollinger Band indicators. Price Lines Price charts plot various price metrics over a specified time period. Various indicators can be optionally shown and their colours and settings can be user configured. These include Back, Lay and last traded prices, configuring 2 moving average line indicators, and Bollinger Band indicators.

Weight Of Money The weight of money graph shows the % weight of the prices to back vs the prices to lay. Configuration options include the back and lay fill colours and Line colour & thickness.

Traded Volume The traded volume chart shows recent amounts traded in the market. The highest volume bar for the chart is shown in the label at the top. Configuration options include the ability to set the bar colours.

Traded Volume Moving Average The traded volume moving average chart shows the moving averages of recent amounts traded in the market. These averages are configurable to a time persiod of your choosing.

Betfair Standard / Betfair Inverse These need no introduction, and are the standard charts used by Betfair. You can view the full history of a selection by either price {standard} or implied probability. { Inverse } An Auto Refresh option is available and determines the auto update interval of these charts in the application.

API Settings Manager

The API Settings Manager allows you to control various different aspects of how many and how

often calls are made to the Betfair API. The API Settings Manager is accessed from the right click

options on the header of the Main Info Bar.

The calls that are made have been broken down into 5 different categories:

Bets – the information relating to your bets for a market, both matched and unmatched

Prices – the information relating to the amounts waiting to back and lay. This varies

depending on the setting used on the Ladder for Price Display. If Standard or Hybrid is

selected it refers to the front three back and lay prices. If Complete is selected it refers to all

of the prices, this requires a lot more information to be downloaded each call which is not

suitable for slower internet connections and those on limited download allowances

Complete Prices in Hybrid mode – the amounts waiting to back and lay outside of the front

three prices, i.e. full market depth, when Hybrid Price Display is selected on the Ladder. For

people with slow internet connections and those on limited download allowances it should

not be set low i.e. less than 1000ms

Traded Volume – the information relating to traded volumes

External Bets – How often to poll for bets made external to the application. The default is

10 seconds. This saves on bandwith & weighted calls if you only use this application for

betting.

Account Funds – the information relating to your balance. If a change is made to a bet, i.e. a

bet is submitted, altered or matched the balance will be updated automatically

Call Frequency

How often each of the calls is made can be changed using the drop down boxes and altering the time

in milliseconds from 150ms to 20,000ms. This allows the speed at which calls are made to be

tailored to the kind of market you are trading and your internet connection.

MPC

The MPC {Maximum Parallel Calls} works by limiting the number of calls that are sent to the Betfair

API until a response is received.

Further customisation can be made by altering the MPC setting for each category using the drop

down boxes; these can be set between 1 and 5.

For example, with the MPC set to 1 for Bets with a refresh rate of 250ms, a call will be made to the

Betfair API once every 250ms to retrieve the information relating to your bets. If however, a

response is not received within the 250ms no further calls will be sent until the initial response is

received.

If the MPC was set to 3, a call will be made every 250ms for the Bets information. If however, a

response is not received to the first call within 250ms a second call will be made. If no response is

received to the second call within 250ms a third call will be made. If there was no response to the

third call no further calls would be sent out until a response was received to one of the three calls

upon which a further call would be made.

This helps to ensure much better running of the program and smoother information flow. The

default settings for MPC should be suitable for most application usage. For slow broadband

connections, {< 1MBs} an MPC of 1 is recommended for all calls.

Drop down menus

Menu Options

By right clicking on the header of the window the following menu options are displayed:

Restore Default Settings – by clicking this the API Settings Manager will reset to the default

settings

Max Weighted Calls Per Second – limits the number of data requests from Betfair per

second. This can be set between 5 and 20

The default settings are:

This means that 11 calls are made each second when Hybrid Price Display is selected on the ladder:

Bets – 4 calls/sec (one call every 250ms)

Prices – 5 calls/sec (one call every 200ms)

Complete Prices in Hybrid mode – 1 call/sec (one call every 1000ms)

Traded Volume – 1 call/sec (one call every 1000ms)

Right click options

Betfair Weighted Call Charging

Betfair impose an additional charge if you make more than 20 weighted calls per second to their API.

The application restricts the number of calls per second to Betfair, however your Betfair 20 calls per

second allowance is for all applications you are running & logged into, including the Betfair website.

Go over this amount and you will be charged. Full details of these charges can be found in section 5

on the Betfair Charges Page

Running the application for a single market using the factory settings above uses a maximum of 11

calls per second. This is well below the 20 calls per second. {NB Account Funds calls do not count

towards your call allowance.}

With the program it is possible to have more than one market loaded at once. However, the

application will not exceed 20 calls per second. This is because the active market (the market

displayed in the header of the Main Info Bar) will take precedence and the calls will be made for that

market first. The remaining calls will be shared between any other markets you have open.

For example, with Max Weighted Calls Per Second set to 19 and using the default settings, there are

8 calls per second left over, the other markets loaded will share these remaining 8 calls.

If the Max Weighted Calls Per Second was set to 11 and the default factory settings were used there

would be no left over calls per second and therefore the other markets loaded would not refresh. It

is therefore important when trading on multiple markets that your settings for one market do not

exceed your Max Weighted Calls Per Second.

there is a total of £561 (£317 + £124 + £120) on the Lay side and

£246 (£84 + £145 + £17) on the Back side. Therefore there is 2.3

times the money on the Lay side than there is on the Back side,

showing the price may be more likely to drift

Grid interface showing WOM in Multiple Display Format with 2.3 times the money on the Lay side

Multiple Percentage – the WOM is shown as a Multiple Percentage.

In the example below there is a total of £1,290 (£225 + £586 + £479)

Grid interface showing WOM in Multiple Percentage Display Format with 57% more money on the Lay side

Weight Percentage – the WOM is shown as a Weight Percentage. In

the example below there is a total of £1,872 (£128 + £1,316 + £428)

on the Lay side and £330 (£63 +£158 + £109) on the Back side.

Therefore 85% of the money is on the Lay side, showing the price

may be more likely to drift

Grid interface showing WOM in Weighted Percentage Display Format with 85% of the money on the Lay side

Empty Tick Threshold – if the number of empty ticks between the Back price

and Lay price is greater than or equal to the level set, the WOM indicator is

not displayed. This can be set between 1 and 15. In the example below the

first image has the Empty Tick Threshold set to 5 and as there are only 4

missing ticks the WOM indicator is displayed. In the second image the Empty

Tick Threshold is set to 4 and as there are 4 missing ticks the WOM indicator

is not displayed

Grid Interface with Empty Tick Threshold set to 5 and therefore showing the WOM indicator

Weight Threshold – allows you to set between 1 and 4 the Weight

Threshold. If the Weight Threshold is set to 2 it will only show the WOM

indicator on selections that have twice the amount of money on the

Back/Lay side compared to the other side.

As can be seen below with Display Format set to Multiple there is £739 on

the Lay side of Danehillsundance and £776 on the Back side. Therefore only

1.05 times the money on the Lay side than there is on the Back side, as such

the WOM is not shown. However, there is £32 on the Lay side of Tenjack

King and £191 on the Back side. Therefore 5.9 times the money on the Back

side than there is on the Lay side; as such the WOM is shown.

when a selections’ price is moving up or down. It also provide a much easier way of entering and

altering bets such as changing the odds and cancelling bets.

Ladder interface with a horse racing market loaded showing three selections

Although a very simple layout has been used on the Ladder interface there is a lot of information

displayed. The information displayed will vary slightly depending on the type of market loaded. For

example, the Stall Number will not be displayed when a National Hunt Horse Racing market is

loaded. It will also vary depending on the individual right click option settings used.

Market description Stake box Stake type box

To centre the Ladder you left click in the price column.

Price Bar

On the right of each selection’s Ladder is the Price Bar. This represents the entire odds range for the

selection from 1.01 to 1000. The green colour represents the Back prices and the red colour

represents the Lay prices. If there is a gap between the Back and Lay prices the gap is coloured white

on the bar. The darker shaded greens and reds represent where the money is on the Back and Lay

sides. The Last Traded Price will always flash yellow on the Price Bar irrespective of the Last Traded

Flash Type setting.

The black band shown on the Price Bar represents the odds range currently being displayed on the

selection’s Ladder. If you click within the black band with the left mouse button and keep it held

down you can scroll up and down the Ladder by dragging the black band up and down the Price Bar.

Finally, if you click anywhere on the Price Bar the Ladder will centre at that point in the odds range.

Bet Submission

To submit a bet on the Ladder you click on the amount available to back/lay at the price at which

you wish to back or lay the selection. The side of the ladder you click on will depend upon if Market

Make or Market Take has been selected in the right click options.

The amount you submit can quickly be changed by entering a different amount in the Stake box.

There is no need to click in the Stake box to change the stake as it is automatically selected for which

ever Ladder your mouse is currently over. This will be shown by the figure in the Stake box being

highlighted blue as can be seen in the image below:

However, if you wish to select your stake using the Stake Menu you right click in the Stake box and

the stake menu will be displayed from which you can select one of your preset stakes. For more

information on the Stake Menu please see the help section “Where Have My Stake Buttons Gone?”.

When selecting a stake from the Stake Menu in the Ladder interface, a left click will change the

current Ladder to the selected stake and a right click will change all Ladders to the selected stake.

When using the Stake Menu on the Ladder interface an additional option is available, Bank %, which

allows you to use a preset percentage of your bank as your stake. For example, if you have a £200

bank and select 15% Bank % your stake will be £30.

An alternative way to place a bet is to right click over the Back bet box or Lay bet box at the price at

which you wish to back or lay the selection. This will bring up the Stake menu and you can then left

or right click on the stake you wish to place. The Stake Menu will vary depending upon the Staking

Type selected for the Ladder.

Stake Buttons

Stake buttons are provided as an option to allow quick stake selection on the ladder. The stake

buttons can be placed at the top or bottom of the ladder or be switched off. The number of stake

buttons that appear depend on the width of your ladder, the font size you set for the buttons & the

values you use for the stake buttons. There are 2 modes “Staking Type” & “Custom”.

Ladder interface stake buttons in “Staking Type” mode

In staking type mode, each staking type has its on set of stake buttons, each customisable with its own set of

values.

Ladder interface stake buttons in “Custom” mode.

In “Custom” mode, there is one set of stake buttons for all staking types, however these buttons can be set to

any staking type you choose.

To change the stake button for the current ladder only, type the amount you require in the stake box & set the

staking type to the type you require. Next Right Click on the button & Left Click the top item from the menu.

To set globally & change the stake button for all ladders, type the amount you require in the stake box & set

the staking type to the type you require. Next Right Click on the button & Rght Click the top item from the

menu.

Changing the Odds of an Unmatched Bet

To change the position of a bet on the Ladder you click the bet and hold your finger down on the

mouse button. You then drag the bet up or down to the desired price; the pointer will change from a

hand to a crosshair when this is done. Once the crosshair is at the new price you release the mouse

button and the bet will be resubmitted at the new price.

If you change your mind about altering the price at which the bet is at, before you release the mouse

button you can drag the crosshair off the side of the column and the crosshair will change to a No

Entry sign. If you then release the mouse button the bet will remain unaltered at the price it

currently is at.

Once you have selected the bet, if you release the mouse button when the hand pointer is over the

price the bet is currently at it will cancel the bet.

Cancelling an Unmatched Bet

To cancel a bet you click on it. If you have submitted more than one bet at the same price how you

cancel the bets in terms of single click or double click will depend upon the setting selected for

Cancel all bets at price using.. option in the right click options.

Cancelling all unmatched bets

To quickly cancel all bets is to click on the column headers. { A Hand cursor will appear.}

Clicking on the price header will cancel all bets.

Clicking on the back stake, or back bet column will cancel all back bets.

Clicking on the lay stake, or lay bet column will cancel all lay bets.

An alternative way to cancel bets is to right click over the Bet display column and click on:

Cancel all Back Bets

Cancel all Lay Bets

Cancel all Bets

Left clicking on these menu items cancels the bets for that selection. Right clicking the menu item

will cancel all bets for the market.

Changing Bet Persistence

You can change the bet persistence { Cancel, Keep, Take SP } of unmatched bets by right clicking the

bet in the bet column & selecting the following menu options.

IP Cancel

IP Keep

IP SP

Left clicking on these menu items sets the bet persistence of those bet(s) that you clicked on when

you opened the menu. Right clicking will change those bets and all others of the same bet type for

that selection. { EG If you clicked on a Bet @ 2.4 and it is a lay bet, right clicking will set the bet

persistence for all lay bets on that selection.

A second set of menu options can be found by right clicking on the bet column. These are…

All IP Cancel

All IP Keep

All IP SP

Left clicking on these menu items sets the bet persistence of all bets on that selection. Right clicking

the menu item will set the bet persistence of all bets in the market.

Profit & Loss

Your current position on each selection if it were to win is shown in the Ladder header. If it is a profit

it is shown in green and if it is a loss it is shown in red.

For Place markets the Selection Profit will show the If Win/If Lose figures.

Hedging

To hedge your position on a selection you can click on the Hedged Profit figure in the Ladder header

and it will hedge your position at the current prices available. Once the position has been hedged

the text will change from bold to non-bold.

An alternative way to hedge your position on a selection is to click at the price you wish to hedge, on

the Profit/Loss column if the Profit/Loss is set to Hedged Profit. Likewise to take the Selection Profit

you would click at the price you wish to take on the Profit/Loss column if the Profit/Loss is set to

Selection Profit.

Click to hedge at 4.4

Click to hedge at 4.2

A third way to exit your position is to right click at the price at which you wish to exit which will load

the Stake menu. On the menu there are three options to exit your position.

The first option is the Hedged Position. In the picture below it can be seen that exiting at 2.22 will

give a hedged loss of-0.36 as the background is red. The background will be green when a profit is to

be taken.

The second option which has a grey background shows the Net position. In the example below a £10

Back bet has been matched and a £5 Lay bet has been matched, so there is a £5 Net position.

The third option, which has a light blue background, shows the Net position taking into

consideration any unmatched bets on the current side of the selection. This will only show if a net

position exists and there are unmatched bets. In the example below a £10 Back bet has been

matched and a £5 Lay bet has been matched, there is also a £3 unmatched Lay bet (not visible in the

image), so the Net position taking account of unmatched bets is £2.

By left clicking any of the three options the associated bets will be placed, by right clicking any of the

three options all unmatched bets will be cancelled on the selection first and then the associated bets

will be placed.

Switching Selections

To switch the selection currently shown in a Ladder you click with the left mouse button over the

selection name and the Selection Menu will load displaying the other selections, as shown in the

image below. Simply click on the desired selection and that selection will be shown in the Ladder.

Weight of Money – (WOM) displays which side of the market has more money,

the Back side or the Lay side. It is calculated using the amounts available to

Back/Lay over the first three Back/Lay prices

Display Format – sets the way the WOM is shown:

Multiple – the weight of money is shown as a multiple. In the

example below there is £2,825 on the Lay side and £608 on the

Back side. Therefore there is 4.6 times more money on the Lay

side than there is on the Back side showing the price is likely to

drift

Multiple Percentage – the WOM is shown as a Multiple

Percentage. In the example below there is a total of £285 on the

Lay side and £458 on the Back side. Therefore there is 61% more

money on the Back side than there is on the Lay side, showing

the price is likely to shorten

Weight Percentage – the WOM is shown as a Weight

Percentage. In the example below there is £269 on the Lay side

and £714 on the Back side. Therefore 73% of the money is on

the Back side, showing the price is likely to shorten

Empty Tick Threshold – if the number of empty ticks between the back

price and lay price is greater than or equal to the level set, the WOM

indicator is not displayed. This can be set between 1 and 15. In the

example below the first image has the Empty Tick Threshold set to 4 and

as there are only 3 missing ticks the WOM indicator is displayed. In the

second image the Empty Tick Threshold is set to 3 and as there are 3

missing ticks the WOM indicator is not displayed

Ladder Interface with Empty Tick Threshold set to 4 and therefore showing the WOM indicator

Ladder Interface with Empty Tick Threshold set to 3 and therefore not showing the WOM indicator

Weight Threshold – allows you to set between 1 and 4 the Weight

Threshold. If the Weight Threshold is set to 2 it will only show the WOM

indicator on selections that have twice the amount of money on the

Back/Lay side compared to the other side.

As can be seen below with Display Format set to Multiple there is £644

on the Lay side of Jafaru and £2,700 on the Back side. Therefore 4.2

times the money on the Back side than there is on the Lay side, as such

the WOM is shown. However, there is £873 on the Lay side of Sagunt

and £772 on the Back side. Therefore 1.1 times the money on the Lay

side than there is on the Back side; as such the WOM is not shown.

Market & API Status

The Market & API Status window displays the status of both the market loaded and the API and also

shows the market overround.

Market & API Status showing last API call response time.

API Info

The number of API calls made in the last second will constantly be changing as new calls are made.

In order to avoid Betfair Data Charges your total number of calls made per second must be 20 or

below. This includes calls being made via the Betfair website or any other application. For more

information about controlling the number of API calls being made by The Toy you should refer to the

API Settings Manager section in Control Help.

In order to be alerted to the API running slow or some other connection issue causing calls to take

longer to return than they should, the application warns of any call taking longer to respond than

the API Error Threshold. {NB This value can be set by a menu option.} If the API Error Threshold is

set to 1,000ms any API call taking longer than 1,000ms will be highlighted red as shown in the image

below.

Market & API Status window showing an outstanding API Call

The first part of the number shows the total number of API calls that are over the API Error

Threshold. In the image above there is one call over the API Error Threshold. The second part of the

number displays how long the call has taken, in the image above the outstanding call has been

waiting over 5 seconds and still hasn’t returned.

{NB Due to the way The Toy sends out API calls, even though a single call is delayed, it does not

necessarily mean you will notice any problems in the running of the application. This is because the

application sends parallel calls to the API for the same information. For more information see section

MPC in the API Settings Manager control help.}

Generally speaking, if the number of overdue calls is 3 or more, you are experiencing connection or

API issues.

SP Odds Limit

Setting the odds in the Place SP Bets window differs from standard bets in that for a Back bet you

are actually specifying the minimum odds you are prepared to accept, for a Lay bet the maximum. If

Betfair’s SP settles shorter than the Back bet minimum price, or longer than Lay bet maximum price,

then the bet will lapse when the event starts. Otherwise the bet will be matched at SP. When the

SP is equal to the price limit specified, those bets will be included based on the time they were

submitted, on a first come, first served basis. This means that such bets may be unmatched or

partially matched.

Once the bet is placed, the minimum/maximum odds requested can only shortened in the case of a

Back bet or lengthened in the case of a Lay bet at any time before the event starts.

Selection / Header Colours

The Header Colours and Selection colours represent which side of the market the SP will settle.

There are three colours:

Blue – the SP will be settled on the Back side

Pink – the SP will be settled on the Lay side

White – the SP will settle between the Back and Lay sides

As can be seen in the image below the Header Colour is pink meaning the market as a whole will

settle on the Lay side. {NB This should only be used as a rough guide to the settlement.}

The selection colour for Respite is blue meaning its projected SP of 3.25 will settle on the Back side.

When you look at the Grid it can be seen that 3.25 is on the Back side.

The selection colour for Diapsason (along with all other selections except Penzena) is pink meaning

its projected SP of 4.70 will settle on the Lay side. When looking at the Grid it can be seen that 4.70

is on the Lay side.

The selection colour for Penzena is white meaning its projected SP of 9.50 will settle between the

Back and Lay sides. When looking at the Grid it can be seen that 9.50 is between the Back and Lay

sides.

Staking & Tools

The Staking & Tools window allows you to control and set for the whole application:

Default Back Staking

Default Lay Staking

Default Stake Type

Fill or Kill

Tick Offset

Default Staking – Stake

To alter the Default Stakes you click in the stake box and type in the new stake. Alternatively, you

can right click over the stake box, which will bring up the stake menu. The new stake will

automatically be used for the Grid. To update the default stake for the Ladder it is necessary to click

the refresh button.

Default Staking – Stake Type

To alter the Default Stake Type you click on the Stake type box and the stake type menu will then be

displayed. Select the stake type you require as default and the stake type box will update showing

the new default stake type that has been selected. Clicking the refresh button will then update the

default stake type in the Ladder.

In the below examples it is assumed that the default stake box is set to £10

Stake – this refers to the stake you place if you are placing a back bet or the stake you are

accepting if you are placing a lay bet. For example:

Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give a £40 profit if the selection won and a £10 loss if

the selection lost

Placing a Lay bet at 5.0 would give a £10 profit if the selection lost and a £40 loss if

the selection won

Liability – this refers to the liability the person taking your back bet accepts if you place a

back bet and the liability you accept if you place a lay bet. For example:

Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give you a £10 profit if the selection won and a £2.50

loss if the selection lost

Stake box

Stake type box

Refresh button

Stake Type menu

Placing a Lay bet at 5.0 would give a £2.50 profit if the selection lost and a £10 loss if

the selection won

Tick Profit – this type of staking is for trading and refers to how much you make for one tick

before greening up across all selections. For example:

Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give you a £400 profit if the selection won and a

£100 loss if the selection lost

Then placing a Lay bet at 4.9 would give you a £390 loss if the selection won and a

£100 profit if the selection lost

Therefore your net position would be a £10 (£400 - £390) profit if the selection won

and no loss or profit is the selection lost (£100 - £100)

Book Profit – this type of staking is for trading and refers to how much you make for one tick

with greening up across all selections taken into account. For example:

Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give you a £1,960 profit if the selection won and a

£490 loss if the selection lost

Then placing a Lay bet at 4.9 would give you a £1,950 loss if the selection won and a

£500 profit if the selection lost

Therefore your net position would be a £10 profit if the selection won (£1,960 -

£1,950) and a £10 profit if the selection lost (£500 - £490)

Tools

In order to turn off a tool you click on the Stop/Go button. When a tool is turned off the Stop/Go

button will say ‘Go’, the tool will be shaded red, the input field will be greyed out as shown below:

Staking & Tools window with Tick Offset turned off

Fill or Kill – when a bet is placed if it is not matched by the time set in the Fill or Kill tool it

will automatically cancel. If part of the order is matched the remainder will still

automatically cancel once the time set in the Fill or Kill tool has been reached. To change the

time for the Fill or Kill tool you click in the input field and select a time in seconds from the

menu. The new time will then apply to any subsequent bets placed.

1. Bets that have already been placed prior to the changing the options will still use

their existing settings unless you click the refresh button.

2. Fill or kill is not applied to any Hedge bets.

3. Fill or Kill is not applied to NET bets placed via the ladder quick menu, or closing

positions when “NET” is shown in the ladder stake box.

4. Fill or Kill is not applied to bets created by Tick Offset.

Tick Offset – this automatically places the counter bet to your initial bet at the number of

ticks set in the Tick Offset tool. For example, you lay a selection at 2.0 for £100 with tick

offset set at 10 ticks. A back bet of £100 would then automatically be placed at 2.20. There

are 4 options for Tick Offset. Partial, Partial Hedged, Full and Full Hedged. Partial will place

counter bets as & when bits of the bet gets matched. Full will wait until the bet is

completely matched before placing the counter bet. In either case, Hedged will equalise

profit across all selections. To switch between the different modes, simply click on the text.

1. Bets that have already been placed prior changing the options will still use their

existing settings unless you click the refresh button.

2. Tick Offset is not applied to any Hedge bets.

3. Tick Offset is not applied to NET bets placed via the ladder quick menu, or closing

positions when “NET” is shown in the ladder stake box.
