How does negotiate odds work?
Negotiate OddsSelect this option to instruct us to confirm your bet only if and when the bet odds are equal to or greater than the minimum odds specified. Our automated betting system will monitor the bet odds once every few seconds and confirm the bet as soon as the odds reaches your target. Note that if the available odds on the periodic check turns to be greater than the minimum odds that you specified, your bet will be confirmed at the greater odds.
This option allows you to obtain better odds for your bet, and our automated betting system will look to fulfill it through various sources. However, it is possible that the odds will never reach your target, in which case it will be canceled and refunded at the start of the event (if your bet was received before the start of the event), or at the completion of the event (if your bet was received in-play during the event).
Please note that the entire process is automated, no human interaction is involved, giving you the best chance to lock better odds even if they get there for just a few seconds.
You can cancel your negotiated bet, or change the minimum required odds any time you wish through the Bet Status page, as long as your bet has not been confirmed yet.
I thought I understood it and my fear was that my odds wouldn't be accepted so I wouldn't get a bet in on a game I wanted.
If you place a negotiated bet before the start of the event and we are unable to confirm it because the minimum odds are too high, the bet will be refunded at the start of the event.
If you see that the event is about to start and your bet is not yet confirmed, and you don't want to miss the bet, what you can do is reduce the minimum required odds from the Bet Status page. If you set the minimum odds to the current odds, your bet should confirm immediately.
Please give it a try and let me know how it worked for you.
