I must admit that I have not used the Stake Wizard tool before.
IN England 2 I loaded the home, draw and away odds of Swindon Town into Stake Wizard and clicked start to run computations, but nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?

You must have specified line odds (i.e. sportsbook's odds) as well. Yet, the line odds must be greater than fair odds.

Under options, I have the profit margin set to 0% which is what you call Fair Odds?
For Swindon Town this week (England 2), the odds in decimal are 2.56 for a home win and if you click on the odds, and "Ctrl+f" it gets imported into Stake Wizard and in the Fair Odds Column you see 2.56.

How do I import the bookmaker odds into Stake Wizard so they appear in the "line column" along side the fair odds of 2.56?

This is the first time I have not been able to work out a problem using anybodys help guide.
When I learn how to use all the features correctly I will make up some video tutorials.

You have to enter all the line odds yourself. You can use http://www.oddschecker.com/ to get the best price for each game, although, to be honest, I just use http://sports.betfair.com and then type it into SW.

Press the green arrow in the toolbar and it will make the calculations. It will automatically ignore all games where Line Odds are less than Fair Odds. In theory, you shouldn't bet on these games, although using Betfair you could lay the team instead.

Thanks for the heads up on that

It is a case and me looking to deep into a problem...the old saying is that if you have to enter anything manually the program is 10+years out of date

I know what you mean but I don't know how they'd get around that problem in this situtation. I'm don't think Oddchecker supports downloads of their data into third-party apps and I've not come across any other similar sites that do.

I've just noticed that Soccerway have an odds section for each game. Maybe this could be integrated into OW and SW in some way.[/url]
