Hello all. Does anyone know how to put on potential bets contingent on some results? e.g. I have all my money in a current tennis match and I want to bet on a match after this one, but by that time I will not have access to a phone or internet, so I want to put in the commands now (such as back someone at the available odds and lay at 1.1 for $100)? I rang telbet and spoke to one of the guys and he said that he couldn't do that. This is very limiting, I expected betfair to provide a better service.

just deposit then, like normal people do

Thank you, but I had already thought of that. It seems like, by your definition, normal people don't bet everything they have.

Is there a solution without having to put more money in?

Thought it was a fair question. 3 posts in over 4 years hardly suggests he's a fisherman imo

What, you think betfair would allow someone to match a bet from the "potential" winnings of anotherLaughLaughLaughLaughLaughLaughLaughLaugh

Depending on exactly what the OP wishes to achieve and what he means by not having any access to the internet at the future point in time, I can't see why it wouldn't be possible to 'order bets' using software.

On the assumption that the OP means that he wouldn't be able to access the internet directly from his location but would be able to leave his PC logged into betfair via software I think that it may be feasible.

My use of software is fairly limited but I can't see why it wouldn't be possible for him to set the software to submit a bet at time x in the future on selection y conditional on the price being z or above. Obviously, if his earlier bets had lost or hadn't been settled by the point in time that he had set the software to submit his later bets at, the bets wouldn't be submitted.

No, there is no way. If it was the horses, you could put on a SP bet with a price limit, but even that would need available liquidity. Basically you need a fairly clever bot to do what you want.

Chilly the Dog,

I'm surprised that there is no such function available on any of the existing software but I stand corrected.

Oh no, it deffo exists, but not via the website. You'd need an API client specially configured to roll your liquidity from one event to the next as results come in.
