Danger! Spreadsheet power can seriously damage your wealth
Things you need
..to be aware of.
When using Excel with Bet Angel Professional it is important to remember that these two pieces of software will only do what you ask them to do.
The many safeguards built into Bet Angel may not apply and inadvertantly submitting bets into a market is an easy thing to do if you do not tread carefully when using a spreadsheet.
Inadvertant Connection Betting
This happens when a spreadsheet you have been working on or using is saved with one of the instruction fields populated (say with 'BACK') together with the associated odds and stake fields. If you connect Bet Angel to this sheet and open up the spreadsheet then the first thing it will do it follow the command and fire a bet into the market. Usually this is bad news so be aware of this happening and ensure your spreadsheet is not set up to fire unwanted bets.
Liability
For example, Bet Angel Professional has a handy liability limit and this will prevent Bet Angel from submitting any single bet where the risk on that bet exceeds the liability figure. This figure does not affect bets submitted via the spreadsheet feature and your spreadsheet will happily keep on betting even if each bet exceeds the Bet Angel liability figure.
Global Settings
Another thing to be aware of is that none of the global settings will apply when a spreadsheet to submit bets. For example, if you would like to submit a two-tick offset bet with greening it is not enough to have these set with the global settings. Bet Angel will not apply these. In this example you would need to use the following instruction - 'BACK OFFSET:2 WITH_GREENING:TRUE'
