Betslip

Buy and sell one outcome side by side, at market or with a limit, and set stop-loss and take-profit exits.

The Betslip places orders on one market, with Buy and Sell side by side: add to a position or cut it without switching tabs. It follows its colour group.

    You receive

Each Yes/No button shows the best ask, the price you'd pay now. Under it is your position there: free shares, average price and live profit or loss.

Buys start in dollars, sells in shares; ⇄ swaps the unit. Click the balance above a field to use all of it.

Using it

Market orders

On Market, Buy and Sell trade at once at the best prices in the book; Enter in the field works too. Hover You receive to check the price and fee first.

Each market order is capped 10¢ past the previewed prices, so a jumpy book can't fill you much worse. Change it under Slippage in settings.

Limit orders

On Limit, the price opens one tick behind the best price, so the order rests instead of filling. The Bid, Ask and ±1% chips move it in one click, and ↑ ↓ step it.

    GTC menu and ⋯ (Post only)

The M / T badge says whether it will rest (maker) or fill at once (taker). Orders are GTC unless you pick an expiry in the GTC menu, and Post only, under ⋯, rejects any limit that would fill straight away.

Quick amounts and Fast

The chips under each amount fill in a size, like $100 or 50% of your shares.

With ⚡ on, clicking a chip sends the order at once, with no Buy or Sell press.

Selling a position

Click your position row under Yes or No to put all of it in Sell. If some of it sits in your sell orders, the column warns they'll be cancelled first.

Auto-Exit

Auto-Exit puts a stop-loss or take-profit on your position. Set a trigger in cents and how much to sell, then Save. Rules watch the best bid on our servers, so they fire even with Pro closed. A take-profit never sells below its trigger. A stop-loss sells at market into whatever bids there are. In a thin book, that can be well below your trigger.

With other widgets

  • Click a price in the Orderbook: both columns get it as a limit price, already sized to the depth up to that level, on the Limit tab.
  • Sell on a row in Positions brings that market here with the whole holding in Sell, ready for you to send.
  • Yes/No here also switches the Orderbook, Ladder and Chart in the same colour.

Tips

  • Want to walk away after a fill? Set a take-profit and a stop-loss on Auto-Exit right away, then close Pro.
  • Scalping near the touch? Stay on Limit with Post only on, so nothing crosses the spread by accident.

Extras

Flip

On crypto Up/Down, sports and esports markets, Flip appears on Market while you hold shares. It sells your whole side at market, then fills Buy on the other side with the proceeds. You send that buy yourself.

Confirming far-off limits

A limit priced more than 5¢ through the book asks you to confirm before it goes out, since that's usually a typo. Under Confirmations in settings, pick Off, Far or Always and set how far Far is.

The ticket's small controls

ControlWhat it does
Hide market detailsFolds the market title away. The Yes/No buttons and your positions stay in place.
Refresh positionsReloads your position rows if they look out of date.
Lock and an amountWhat your open orders hold: cash across all markets for Buy, shares of this side for Sell.
Cancels … sell ordersShown when a sale needs shares that sit in your own sell limits. Those orders go first.
Fills … sh at onceA limit priced through the book: that much fills now, the rest rests.

On crypto Up/Down markets, a timer next to the tabs counts down the window. In its last 30 seconds, the ticket warns you if you still hold shares, and once it closes, new orders are off.
