Manual line control

How traders manage events and markets manually: editing the line, setting ratios, freezing markets and creating your own outcomes.
Expert Stanislav Anisimov

Despite extensive automation using feeds and algorithms, manual control of the line and markets remains an indispensable tool in betting. It is traders with analytical thinking and knowledge of sports who can quickly respond to non-standard events, adjust odds, turn off risky markets and create unique markets - something that is not provided for in standard APIs.

What Manual Control Involves

Opportunities Purpose and application
Editing coefficients Fine-tuning caps in prematch and live
Add your own marketplaces Unique outcomes: "will score in the first 15 minutes," "total corners> 11. 5"
Freezing individual markets Temporary suspension of bets on risky outcomes
Publishing/hiding matches Control over what the player sees in the line
Timeline update of markets Gradual opening: first outcome, then totals, odds, etc.
Setting limits and prohibitions Set up minimum/maximum bid manually

Manual line control is a fine-tuning tool. Where automation is limited, a person gives an advantage. A platform that combines the power of algorithms with the flexibility of a trader is able to work stably and efficiently even in non-standard scenarios.
