Navegador del Mercados
The Navegador del Mercados window allows you to quickly move from one Betfair 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 option is turned off you select it from the $$Event Type drop down menu.

Header Menu Options
By right clicking on the header of the Navegador del Mercados window it brings up the various options for this window:

    • Ocultar - it will close

When you wish to open a market you left click on the market you wish to load and the market will load displayed according to the Mercado abierto por defecto setting. Alternatively you can right click over the market you wish to open and then click on the Cuadricula, parrilla , rejilla, casilla…, Escalera or Ambos option and this will override the Mercado abierto por defecto setting.

If you wish to have more than one market open at a time you simply open the first market as described above and then you navigate to the second market you wish to open and open it either by left clicking on it or right clicking on it as described above. 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 active market will be displayed in the header of the Barra de Informacion Principal, as you move your mouse from one market to the other the active market will change, as will be displayed in the header of the Barra de Informacion Principal.

When you have Todos los Mercados selected in the $$Quick Pick drop down menu it is possible to manually refresh the menus. In order to refresh the menu you expand it and then right click on the menu you wish to refresh and click Actualizar de Betfair as shown below.
