Thank you for your reply. Sill, the liabilities in the market don't work the same way as in Betfair. I've been trading on Betfair for more than 10 years so I have a good understanding of how it works. Let me give you the following example:
Let's say I only have 2.50 mBT in my balance and in a football match, I lay Team A at 1.25 for 10 mBT.
After the bet is matched, my liabilities will look like this:
Team A -2.50
Draw + 10
Team B +10
And my balance will be 0.00
Now, the odds of Team A go up to 1.30 and I want to back them again to lock in a profit on all sides. So I try to back Team A at 1.30 for 9 mBT. I get an error message saying I don't have enough money in my balance. This bet should be allowed since I already have +10 on the 2 other possible outcomes. In this case I had to cancel other bets in other markets just to cover this bet. This in turn will decrease the liquidity in the markets in general. In Betfair, if you are green on any outcome you can use that green to place other bets on the same market.
Yes, we 100% agree with you - this is how liabilities should work.
Maybe we were not clear in our comment before - this is how liabilities generally work on Exbet. BUT there is an edge case on Exbet where it does NOT work as it should - this is when the user does not have funds in their account (like in your example) to cover the stake/liability of the second bet (which they should not need to have, exactly like you say). A fix will be released in the next 10 days, and functionality will then be as you describe for all scenarios.
I hope the idea got through.
Yes
If you fix this this would help increase liquidity on the site. Again, you're doing a great job so far and I salute you for that, now we just need more players to come in and play.
Thanks - it means a lot to us to get good feedback from someone like you who has strong experience with exchange betting.
Just a question, when a goal is scored in football in-play (live) matches, do you suspend the market or only at the end of the match?
Currently, football markets are not managed (which means that we suspend only at the end of the match). However, we aim to trial managed markets (suspend on goal, red card, penalty award) in a few of the top leagues during the spring, with the possibility to roll out out to all leagues later in 2021 if the trial is successful.
Although there are some hardcore exchange users who would be happy with unmanaged markets in football, we believe that it will encourage more liquidity to have managed markets.
What do you think abut managed markets in football, ziadmar?
