VIEW:
This tab configures how views (Grid, Ladder, etc.) are opened within the current market. Choose if you want the new Market View to open in the same window or in a new window by clicking the left of right mouse button. You can also choose if you want the new view to be activated when you open it.
Speedup your trades by setting shortcut keys in this tab.

• click the light bulb icon to activate/deactivate the shortcut.
In this tab you can add or delete sports to your favorite sports list.
Note: apart from sports there are a few other available options, such as Politics, Financial bets and other special bets.
Wagertool default settings are designed to take full advantage of Betfair data request limits. We give priority to the active market (selected window), refreshing it more frequently.
You can configure these refresh rates, but be careful not to exceed Betfair data request limits, because there are limits on the amount of data requested in one request.
Refresh rates are the time intervals between data requests (presented in milliseconds), so lower values represent faster refresh rates. However, don’t set these values too low, or you may not get all the data you have requested.
Note: if you are connected in the ESA API, the refresh rate for the Full Market call is not used, as this ESA API works on a pull system sending the new information automatically to the user, there is no need for the call to be made.
In the sounds tab you can turn sounds ON and OFF and set sounds for the following actions:
• Market Going Live;
• Bet Error;
• Bet Matched;
• Bet Placed;
• Cash Out;
• Market Live;
• Market Suspended;
• Bet Partially Matched;
• Horse Racing Progress.
