The negotiate the odds seems cool. But I'm not sure I fully understand it. For instance if you want better odds on a live soccer match, and you put that in, then the other team scores a goal, your bet will be filled with your team now down 0-1? It just seems like a recipe for disaster, if that is what this is.
Lets say for example that the current odds for a team in a soccer game is 2.0 decimal, and you place a negotiated bet at odds of 3.0
Now lets say the team concedes a goal and as a result the bet odds goes up to 4.0. Your bet will be confirmed, but you will be given odds of 4.0, higher than the requested odds of 3, to factor in the fact that the team is down 0-1.
In the future, we will add an option to cancel the bet at any time as long as it did not confirm, or right when the game starts.
Notice that in this example, by requesting odds of 3.0 when the odds are 2.0, you are basically asking for your bet to confirm when your team is no longer the favorite, and that's exactly what will happen.
A more common use of this feature is to ask for slightly better odds i.e. 2.1, before the start of the event. There is a very good chance that your bet will be confirmed at the better odds before the event starts due to the nature of odds fluctuation.
Please give this new feature a try and let me know what you think. If you did not find it useful, please let me know why.
I would like to hear from you. This feature was implemented to benefit you and I look forward to your feedback so that we can make it even better.
