Using ExPort
When you have launched ExPort you can log into your Betfair account by entering your details in the Username and Password boxes at the top left of the screen. (We cannot see your account information or any of your activity as you are now using ExPort to communicate directly with Betfair). Once your details are entered, click Login or press enter on your keyboard.
You will now see your Username confirmed and the balance in your account and the main menu will also populate. If you click on any event item on the menu the selected market will load in the main screen.
If, for example, you have chosen Horse Racing - Todays Card and then selected a race from the sub-menu you will see the horse names, odds and available amounts for each horse.
You will notice the market is split into two halves - Back (Blue) and Lay (Pink) with a grey column in the centre separating the two. This grey column holds the Market Swing % indicators that help predict whether there is pressure of money in the market to force the odds to go higher (pink figures) or lower (blue figures).
As a precaution the Confirm Bet box is always check-marked on loading to avoid accidental clicks on the main screen that might cause an 'un-intentional' bet.
The Back and Lay amount boxes default to £2 which is the Betfair minimum stake. Maximum Liability boxes (in the centre under main market screen for single bets and above the calculator for multiple bets) also load with default figures for your protection. All of these can be altered by you by clicking on or re-typing your chosen levels.
To see current odds, click to check-mark the white Refresh On box and select the refresh rate, from the drop down box, that you are happy with (500ms = 0.5 seconds). To load Backodds into the Dutching calculator, first click Dutching On. If Refresh On is also selected you will see all Stake and profit calculations change as odds of your selections alter in the main market.
Please turn up your speakers.
