what do you mean? minimum bet at a 1000 is £2. why does ot allow 10p under that price then?

By:
To bet 10p you have to place an unmatched bet of £2 and then add 10p to it. But if 1000 is already available to back then its not possible to place an unmatched bet.

cos it needs to place a bet at £2 1000 that hopefully wont get matched. But it could ..

ok..so betting assistant basically does the work of placing higher and changing the bets just as u would do if doin the same bet on betfair. Therefore once it puts the £2 at 1000 it gets took. Cheers

Bingo, be careful if you are doing lots of small bets at 1000/500/200 etc. I was doing some last year as I noticed there were a few winners that had drifted to 300/500 etc in running so I placed bets on every horse at high prices for 20p 50p etc.
After a week of doing it BF hit me with a charge of about £30 for putting too many bets on per hour, when I phoned them they said the minimum bet is £2, and denied they had lots of bets placed for less, which was a lie. |

The simplest way to back 10p at 999/1 is to first lay £2 at 1000, then to place a back bet of £2.10 at 1000.
