It has been designed in such a way as to make it simple and easy to use but at the same me take advantage of numerous new innova ve and powerful features. Please read all of the sec ons in “Ge ng Started” before using the applica on. When the applica on first opens, it shows the Main Info Bar, this enables you to quickly navigate to markets by using the Market Navigator window. Right Mouse Bu on A key design feature of the applica on is the use of your right mouse bu on. Throughout the applica on the right mouse bu on has numerous func ons thus hugely improving your speed and ability to trade and use the applica on. Help Files There is a detailed user manual for the applica on with each sec on of the applica on and the accompanying menus and op ons explained. These help files can be viewed by clicking on the help bu on of the relevant window, or by selec ng “Control Help” in the drop down box above this page. It is suggested that once familiar with the applica on, you look at each window’s help file to see all the features available. If you are going to use the applica on, please ensure you have a good understanding of the Be air sports exchange. The applica on default se ngs are set as such so that those used to the Be air website and other trading applica ons should be able to use it straight out of the box. Support Limited support will be provided for the applica on via the chat forum. This can be accessed by selec ng “User Forum” from the le drop down box above this page. Disclaimer This applica on cannot make you money on Be air. With skill, pa ence, the right mindset and an understanding of the markets, it may be possible for you to make money.

If you are new to Be air, start by using small stakes un l you can make money, and never play with any money you cannot afford to lose. Warranty This product is provided free of charge, so no warranty is given. Use of the product is therefore wholly at your own risk. You should not play with any large amounts of money, unless you are both confident in the use of the applica on, and the applica on is stable on your computer. Applica on Basics Throughout the applica on there are several common bu ons seen in the headers of the various windows. Rather than discuss them on each individual help sec on they have just been discussed here. In addi on throughout the applica on there are several common right click op ons. Rather than discuss them on each individual help sec on they have just been discussed here. Dock ‐ docks the current window in the Main Info Bar. Only shown when the window is undocked Floa ng ‐ undocks the current window from the Main Info Bar. Only shown when the window is docked Layout ‐ sets the width of the window Show In Taskbar ‐ turns on/off the display of the window in your computer taskbar Help Built into the header of each window is a quick access help bu on. By clicking on this bu on the help sec on for that window will be displayed in the Help & Useful Links window in .pdf format, which will provide a full explana on of the window and all of its features and op ons. Resizing a Window Horizontally With some windows, it is possible to resize them horizontally to one of 4 default widths. The resizing of windows horizontally is achieved through the menu op on; Layout. Right clicking on the header of the window accesses this op on. Resizing a Window Ver cally The resizing of windows ver cally is achieved by clicking in the bo om right hand corner of the window where the border is do ed (the mouse pointer will change to a diagonal arrow) and dragging the bo om of the window up or down to your desired maximum height. If the window is made bigger than is currently needed for the informa on to be displayed the window will only take up the required screen space. However, as more informa on is displayed in the window it will expand to the maximum height you set the window to. If the window contains more informa on than can be displayed in the maximum height you set the window to, a scroll bar will be displayed on the right allowing you to move up and down the informa on. Using with Mul ple Monitors When using the applica on with 2 or more monitors, your topmost, le most monitor should be your primary monitor. To check it is, right click on your desktop, select Proper es from the menu and click the Se ngs tab. Select the topmost, le most monitor and ensure “Use this device as my primary monitor” is checked. Layout and Se ngs The layout of the applica on has been designed to make it very easy to use. Throughout it has been made to replicate the layout used by Be air. However, there are many enhancements and op ons that allow the user to customise the so ware to their specific needs and style. To alter the layout op ons of the various windows you simply right click over the window header and adjust the op ons to achieve your desired layout. The applica on will remember all of the se ngs that were in place when the applica on was shutdown. Therefore, when started up again you can just carry on from where you le off. Memory Whenever the applica on is shutdown it will remember the posi on you last had the various windows open in and when the windows are next opened it will open the windows in exactly the same posi on. This therefore removes the need to reposi on windows each me the windows or the applica on is loaded. Opening the Ladder Interface When first installed, opening a market from the Market Navigator will show the grid interface. If you right click on the header of the grid, and select “Show Ladder” the ladder interface will appear. To change the default interface shown when opening a market, right click on the header of the “Market Navigator” window and select an op on from the “Default Market Open” menu. How Many Ladders Would You Like? When first using the applica on, you will be presented with 3 ladders in the Ladder interface. One of the many innova ve addi ons is the ability to have as many as 60 ladders per market. Up to 20 ladders can be displayed on each row and a total of three rows can be displayed, thus giving an unrivalled overview of the market. You are only limited by your screen space. To configure the number of ladders you require select “Ladder Layout”, “Max Columns” or “Ladder Layout”, “Max Rows” from the Ladder menu. Introducing the 3 Column Ladder One of the many innova ve features is the ability to narrow down each individual ladder to just 3 columns, as shown below. This therefore saves valuable screen space, which in turn means more ladders can be fi ed on your screen. Ladder interface showing 3 column Ladder As can be seen in the image above, rather than having separate unmatched bet columns, the unmatched bets are displayed in the price column. There is a £10 unmatched Back bet on the first selec on at 5.1 and a £10 unmatched Lay bet at 4.2. For more informa on about the various Ladder se ngs please refer to the Ladder Help Sec on. Standard Layouts The applica on has one of the most customisable Ladder interfaces in use today. To save me, some template layouts have been provided. These layouts can be accessed by selec ng “Standard Layouts” from the Ladder menu. In order to make the transi on to the applica on as easy as possible, some of the layouts replicate other commercially available applica ons. Bet Raider Bet Raider Nickolu on Bet Devil BetDevil Reverse Where Have My Stake Bu ons Gone? Rather than just having a few stake bu ons like most other applica ons, this applica on has an unlimited number of ‘stake bu ons’. These ‘stake bu ons’ bu ons are found in the Stake Menu, which is used throughout the applica on and provides a quick way of selec ng your preset stakes. Right clicking in the relevant area opens the Stake Menu. For example, the Stake Box in the Place Bets window. The menu will be displayed and you can then le click or right click the desired stake. Depending on where the Stake Menu is being used, selec ng the stake with a le click or right click will perform different func ons. Adding a Stake To add a new stake to the Stake Menu you simply type the new stake into the Stake Box and then right click to bring up the Stake Menu. At the top of the Stake Menu the new stake will be shown preceded by a ‘+’ as shown below. If you then le or right click on this, the new stake will be added to the Stake Menu. Remember the le or right click ac on will also be performed, for example, right clicking will immediately submit the bet in the Place Bets window. Removing a Stake To remove a stake from the Stake Menu you simply type the stake into the Stake Box and then right click to bring up the Stake Menu. At the top of the Stake Menu the stake will be shown preceded by a ‘‐’ as shown below. If you then le or right click on this, the stake will be removed from the Stake Menu. Remember the le or right click ac on will also be performed, for example, right clicking will immediately submit the bet in the Place Bets window. NB There are 4 core staking types, Stake, Liability, Tick Profit & Book Profit. Each staking type has its own Stake Menu. Mul Market Trading One of the many innova ve features of the applica on is the ability to display more than one market at a me. It is possible for example to display both the Win market and Place market for an individual Horse Race simultaneously, as shown below. There is no limit to the number of markets that can be loaded at the same me. Both the Win and Place Market for a Horse Racing market being displayed at the same me The method through which to load the addi onal markets varies slightly depending on which part of the applica on you are using. Therefore, you should refer to the help sec on for the specific window for further informa on about loading addi onal markets. The market that is ac ve is the market that the mouse is currently over. The descrip on of the ac ve market will also be displayed in the header of the Main Info Bar. In the above image it can be seen that the Main Info Bar is displaying in its header ’14:10 Goodwood – To Be Placed’ therefore showing the Place market is the ac ve market. API Calls for Mul ple Markets When more than one market is loaded at a me how the data calls are made for the addi onal markets is different to how they are made for the ac ve market. The ac ve market has data call priority over the addi onal markets loaded which use the spare data call capacity. For further informa on about how the data calls are made when more than one market is loaded please refer to the API Se ngs Manager help sec on. Market Navigator The Market Navigator window allows you to quickly move from one Be air market to another. In order to switch between event types, for example from Horse Racing to Soccer, you can use the Quick Pick drop down menu that displays 5 of the most popular event types. If you wish to select an event type that is not shown in the Quick Pick drop down menu you either select it from the event type tree or if this op on is turned off you select it from the Event Type drop down menu. Market Navigator window floa ng, with Event Types In Tree, with right click op ons Header Menu Op ons By right clicking on the header of the Market Navigator window it brings up the various op ons for this window: Search Be air ‐ Opens up the Be air sports page in the help & useful links window in “Search” mode.

The first market will remain open and you will now have two markets open. This process can be repeated allowing you to open as many markets as you wish. The ac ve market will be displayed in the header of the Main Info Bar, as you move your mouse from one market to the other the ac ve market will change, as will be displayed in the header of the Main Info Bar.

Depending on the available markets for the sport the menu will have more/less op ons Market Display ‐ allows a more detailed filter of the type of markets that are shown than the Quick Filter allows. Depending on the available markets for the sport the menu will have more/less op ons as shown below Market Display for Horses Market Display for Dogs When Cricket Matches, Soccer Matches or Tennis Matches is selected in the Quick Pick drop down menu the Day drop down menu is displayed and the Market Type drop down menu is displayed.

Alterna vely, you can right click over the Stake Box, which will bring up the Stake Menu. The new stake will automa cally be used for the Grid. To update the default stake for the Ladder it is necessary to click the Refresh Bu on. Default Staking – Stake Type To alter the Default Stake Type you click on the Staking Type Box and the Staking Type Menu will then be displayed. Select the stake type you require as default and the Staking Type Box will update showing the new default stake type that has been selected. Clicking the Refresh Bu on will then update the default staking type in the Ladder. In the below examples it is assumed that the default stake box is set to £10 Stake ‐ this refers to the stake you place if you are placing a back bet or the stake you are accep ng if you are placing a lay bet. For example: Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give a £40 profit if the selec on won and a £10 loss if the selec on lost Placing a Lay bet at 5.0 would give a £10 profit if the selec on lost and a £40 loss if the selec on won Liability ‐ this refers to the liability the person taking your back bet accepts if you place a back bet and the liability you accept if you place a lay bet. For example: Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give you a £10 profit if the selec on won and a £2.50 loss if the selec on lost Placing a Lay bet at 5.0 would give a £2.50 profit if the selec on lost and a £10 loss if the selec on won Tick Profit ‐ this type of staking is for trading and refers to how much you make for one ck before greening up across all selec ons. For example: Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give you a £400 profit if the selec on won and a £100 loss if the selec on lost Then placing a Lay bet at 4.9 would give you a £390 loss if the selec on won and a £100 profit if the selec on lost Therefore your net posi on would be a £10 (£400 ‐ £390) profit if the selec on won and no loss or profit is the selec on lost (£100 ‐ £100) Book Profit ‐ this type of staking is for trading and refers to how much you make for one ck with greening up across all selec ons taken into account. For example: Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give you a £1,960 profit if the selec on won and a £490 loss if the selec on lost Then placing a Lay bet at 4.9 would give you a £1,950 loss if the selec on won and a £500 profit if the selec on lost Therefore your net posi on would be a £10 profit if the selec on won (£1,960 ‐ £1,950) and a £10 profit if the selec on lost (£500 ‐ £490) Payout ‐ The bet placed is the amount in the stake box divided by the odds. This staking type can be used for auto hedging counter trades. For example placing the below 2 bets would give a 50 pence \ cent profit across all selec ons… Placing a back bet at 5.0 with £10 in the stake box, would place a bet of £2. { £2 Stake + £8 Liability = £10 } Placing a Lay bet at with £10 in the stake box 4.0 would place a bet of £2.50. . { £2.50 Stake + £7.50 Liability = £10 } Tools In order to turn off a tool you click on the Stop/Go Bu on. When a tool is turned off the Stop/Go Bu on will say ‘Go’, the tool will be shaded red, the Input Field will be greyed out as shown below: Staking & Tools window with Tick Offset turned off Fill or Kill ‐ when a bet is placed if it is not matched by the me set in the Fill or Kill tool it will automa cally cancel. If part of the order is matched the remainder will s ll automa cally cancel once the me set in the Fill or Kill tool has been reached. To change the me for the Fill or Kill tool you click in the input field and select a me in seconds from the menu. The new me will then apply to any subsequent bets placed. Bets that have already been placed prior to the changing the op ons will s ll use their exis ng se ngs unless you click the Refresh Bu on. Fill or Kill is not applied to any Hedge bets. Fill or Kill is not applied to NET bets placed via the ladder quick menu, or closing posi ons when “NET” is shown in the ladder stake box. Fill or Kill is not applied to bets created by Tick Offset. Fill or Kill is not applied to any bets created by the Stop Loss tool. Tick Offset ‐ this automa cally places the counter bet to your ini al bet at the number of cks set in the Tick Offset tool. For example, you lay a selec on at 2.0 for £100 with ck offset set at 10 cks. A back bet of £100 would then automa cally be placed at 2.20. There are 4 op ons for Tick Offset. Par al, Par al Hedged, Full and Full Hedged. Par al will place counter bets as & when bits of the bet gets matched. Full will wait un l the bet is completely matched before placing the counter bet. In either case, Hedged will equalise profit across all selec ons. To switch between the different modes, simply click on the text. Bets that have already been placed prior changing the op ons will s ll use their exis ng se ngs unless you click the Refresh Bu on. Tick Offset is not applied to any Hedge bets. Tick Offset is not applied to NET bets placed via the ladder quick menu, or closing posi ons when “NET” is shown in the ladder stake box. Tick Offset is not applied to any bets created by the Stop Loss tool. Stop Loss ‐ The stop loss works by automa cally placing a closing bet into the market, at the number of cks set in the Stop Loss tool should any bet in an open posi on meet these criteria. For example if a single lay bet is matched @ 2.0 with a stop loss of 3, this will automa cally place a stop loss bet if the price trades @ 1.97 or below. Note that the stop loss is automa cally calculated on the runner posi on & not a ached to individual bets. To change the number of cks, click the stop loss input field & a list of choices will show. Place Stop At + ‐ This allows you to set the number of cks past the trigger price that you wish to place the stop loss at to ensure you are matched. In the above example, having the “Place Stop At +” set to 2 means the stop loss bet @1.95. Hedge ‐ This op on a empts to equalise the loss across all selec ons. NB In some cases market fluctua ons means the stop loss bet may be matched at a be er or worse price which means the greening may not be 100% accurate. Should this be the case you will see a new small stop loss posi on show in one direc on or another. You will need to manually green this. Cancel Bets ‐ When checked, this will cancel all bets on the current selec on prior to triggering the stop loss. Trailing ‐ When checked the stop loss trigger posi on 1 ck for every ck the market moves in your favour. Any matched bet posi on stop losses show in the ladder at their trigger price in Red. Unmatched bet stop losses show on the ladder at their trigger price in orange. These can be dragged & dropped with the mouse to different trigger prices as required. Menu Op ons By right clicking on the header it brings up the various op ons for this window. Staking & Tools window with Right click op ons and Separate Grid Lay Staking turned on Separate Grid Lay Staking ‐ turns Separate Grid Lay Staking on/off.

NB When Use Global Tools is switched off, the Ladder & Grid Toolbar will default to the se ngs in “Staking & Tools” whenever you open a market. Cancel Tools on Market Hedge ‐ When switched on, this op on will cancel all tools ac ve on all bets in the market when the whole market is hedged using one of the various hedging op ons. Cancel Tools on Selec on Hedge ‐ When switched on, this op on will cancel all tools ac ve on all bets on that selec on when the selec on is hedged. { NB It does not cancel tools when the whole market is hedged. Use the op on above for this. } Ladder & Grid Toolbar When the “Use Global Tools” op on is disabled, a Tools Toolbar will appear at the top of each ladder, or on the right of each selec on on the grid.

For people with slow internet connec ons and those on limited download allowances it should not be set low i.e. less than 1000ms Traded Volume ‐ the informa on rela ng to traded volumes External Bets ‐ How o en to poll for bets made external to the applica on. The default is 10 seconds. This saves on bandwith & weighted calls if you only use this applica on for be ng. Account Funds ‐ the informa on rela ng to your balance. If a change is made to a bet, i.e. a bet is submi ed, altered or matched the balance will be updated automa cally Call Frequency How o en each of the calls is made can be changed using the drop down boxes and altering the me in milliseconds from 150ms to 20,000ms. This allows the speed at which calls are made to be tailored to the kind of market you are trading and your internet connec on. MPC The MPC {Maximum Parallel Calls} works by limi ng the number of calls that are sent to the Be air API un l a response is received. Further customisa on can be made by altering the MPC se ng for each category using the drop down boxes; these can be set between 1 and 5. For example, with the MPC set to 1 for Bets with a refresh rate of 250ms, a call will be made to the Be air API once every 250ms to retrieve the informa on rela ng to your bets. If however, a response is not received within the 250ms no further calls will be sent un l the ini al response is received. If the MPC was set to 3, a call will be made every 250ms for the Bets informa on. If however, a response is not received to the first call within 250ms a second call will be made. If no response is received to the second call within 250ms a third call will be made. If there was no response to the third call no further calls would be sent out un l a response was received to one of the three calls upon which a further call would be made. This helps to ensure much be er running of the program and smoother informa on flow. The default se ngs for MPC should be suitable for most applica on usage. For slow broadband connec ons, {< 1MBs} an MPC of 1 is recommended for all calls. Menu Op ons By right clicking on the header of the window the following menu op ons are displayed: Restore Default Se ngs ‐ by clicking this the API Se ngs Manager will reset to the default se ngs Max Weighted Calls Per Second ‐ limits the number of data requests from Be air per second. This can be set between 5 and 20 The default se ngs are: This means that 11 calls are made each second when Hybrid Price Display is selected on the ladder: Bets ‐ 4 calls/sec (one call every 250ms) Prices ‐ 5 calls/sec (one call every 200ms) Complete Prices in Hybrid mode ‐ 1 call/sec (one call every 1000ms) Traded Volume ‐ 1 call/sec (one call every 1000ms) Be air Weighted Call Charging Be air impose an addi onal charge if you make more than 20 weighted calls per second to their API. The applica on restricts the number of calls per second to Be air, however your Be air 20 calls per second allowance is for all applica ons you are running & logged into, including the Be air website. Go over this amount and you will be charged. Full details of these charges can be found in sec on 5 on the Be air Charges Page Running the applica on for a single market using the factory se ngs above uses a maximum of 11 calls per second. This is well below the 20 calls per second. {NB Account Funds calls do not count towards your call allowance.} With the program it is possible to have more than one market loaded at once. However, the applica on will not exceed 20 calls per second. This is because the ac ve market (the market displayed in the header of the Main Info Bar) will take precedence and the calls will be made for that market first. The remaining calls will be shared between any other markets you have open. For example, with Max Weighted Calls Per Second set to 19 and using the default se ngs, there are 8 calls per second le over, the other markets loaded will share these remaining 8 calls. If the Max Weighted Calls Per Second was set to 11 and the default factory se ngs were used there would be no le over calls per second and therefore the other markets loaded would not refresh. It is therefore important when trading on mul ple markets that your se ngs for one market do not exceed your Max Weighted Calls Per Second. Audio Alerts Manager The Audio Alerts Manager window is where you control the various audio alerts for the so ware. It is accessed from the right click op ons on the header of the Main Info Bar.

Shortcut Key Manager There are default keyboard shortcuts built in to allow you to use the keyboard to perform various ac ons when using the applica on. The shortcuts are categorised in the manager as dealing with either OddsControl or LadderAndStakes which is the category shown in the picture. Window showing the list of ac ons and assigned shortcuts Customising the shortcuts To assign your own choices of keyboard shortcuts, select the required ac on and the entry in the text box at the bo om will be automa cally highlighted. You can replace the entry that is already there by typing in your chosen shortcut in the same way you intend to use it, the applica on will automa cally detect if you have pressed the SHIFT, CTRL or ALT keys (or combina ons of them). You do not need to save any changes. If your chosen shortcut is already assigned to another ac on you will receive a warning that there is a conflict, to avoid this conflict you will need to assign another shortcut key to the conflic ng ac on. This will free up the intended shortcut and allow you to make your change. Window showing the conflict warning when assigning a shortcut already in use In the picture above the applica on shows the result of trying to assign the C key to the Cancel All Bets ac on as this key is already assigned to the Cancel All Back Bets ac on. To achieve the desired result the Cancel All Back Bets ac on would need to have its shortcut reassigned to an unused key (or key combina on) such as ALT+C. At any me you may change the shortcuts back to their default se ngs by clicking on Restore Defaults.
