Green up ?

Post by Markyb »

It may be already possible but I carnt figure it out , I like to place my exit bet 1st then the entry bet but I'm having to do the maths for stake size , can this be done automatically? I suppose it's like green up in reverse?

Hi

Two Green Up options exist today in BetOnDroid application:

Manual Green Up - after placing your initial bet, the middle column shows profit (green, see screenshot) or loss (red) at each price if you green up there. Stake is auto-calculated to equalize. Click a price to place that green-up order.

Automatic Green Up - enable the "G" toolbar icon in the toolbar. The app doesn't care which side goes first - it reacts to whichever order matches first, then (once order matched) automatically places the opposite order with the stake calculated for an equal green-up. The tick offset from the matched price is configurable in app settings.

So for your case: place your exit price as an unmatched order first (with auto green-up enabled), and once the market moves to that price and it matches, the app will automatically place your reverse order with the correct stake for an equal result. I think hat should do exactly what you're after.

Quick check: or do you want both bets placed unmatched at the same time, with entry stakes pre-calculated?

What I'm trying to do is get my exit bet at front of que, let's say the current price is 5.00 , I place a lay bet at 4.00 so it's just sitting there waiting, then the price starts to shorten I want to then make a back be att 4.50 , I want that then to green up with the original lay bet , make sense?

Hi

Yes, this is exactly what BetOnDroid already does - your LAY 4.00 sitting unmatched is fine, once price reaches it and it matches, you have two ways to place the BACK leg:

Manual Green Up - once your LAY 4.00 is matched, the middle column shows the profit/loss for every price if you green up using that price. Find 4.50 in that column - click that price to place the BACK order with stake auto-calculated for an even green-up.

Automatic Green Up - enable the "G" toolbar icon before placing your LAY. Set the tick offset in settings to match the 4.00→4.50 move. Once your LAY 4.00 matches, the BACK order fires automatically at that offset with the correct stake - no manual click needed.


Either way, you don't need to do the maths yourself - the app calculates the green-up stake for you in both modes.

FYI Automatic Green Up also lets you choose between an even green-up (equal profit/loss across outcomes) or a freebet-style green-up (all profit lands on this outcome, zero on the rest), while Manual Green Up only supports the even split

Thanks for the reply but I think I'm not describing it correctly, the original lay bet I want to match 2nd , it's the exit bet , as the price moves towards it I place a back bet which I at the moment do the maths for which gets matched then hopefully hits the lay bet and both are hedged ?

thanks for clarifying.

Just want to check I understand the actual benefit you're after — as far as we can see, the only difference between "exit first" placement and normal Auto Green Up is queue position: placing the LAY early (before the price gets there) means it sits nearer the front of the order queue at that price level, whereas with Auto Green Up, the hedge order is only placed once the entry matches - by which point it goes to the back of the queue at that price, since it's placed later.

Is that the main advantage you're looking (better queue priority / higher matching chance on green up order) or is there something else to it?

Yes that's it , it don't sound like a lot of benefit but being at front queue can sometimes be make or break as you probably know
