Optimal odd Compensate #19

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Place a bet in a low capital market.
2. Compensate with try and error until find the optimal odd.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
An odd which maximize the revenue. Instead I get an odd which takes the lowest 
in the market.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.05
Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.
Example:
Highest back odd: 1.14
Lowest lay odd: 1.25

If I had backed and I want to compensate, I would have two options:
- Use standard compensate and settle for 1.25, which makes me lose 10 ticks.
- Manual compensate, with try and error until getting optimal odd, which in 
this case would be 1.15; Problem is that market is moving, and by the time I 
get it right, the odd could be different.

Wouldn't be great to have a button that looks for the highest back odd and 
compensate in that odd plus 1 tick?

This is specially helpful in low capital markets. Notice how in high capital 
markets this "optimal odd" equals lowest lay odd, behaving like standard 
compensate.

Same thing for laying first and backing to compensate.

Thanks,
Renato.
