About Order Expiration Times

BettorEdge gives you complete control over how long your betting orders remain active in the marketplace. While the platform sets intelligent default expiration times based on when you place your order, you can easily customize these times to match your specific betting strategy or market conditions.

When you place an order on BettorEdge, you need to specify how long it should remain active:

• Orders that expire receive no action and return to your available balance
• Well-timed expirations can help manage risk and increase fill rates
• The platform suggests default times based on when you're placing your order
• You can override these defaults to align with your personal betting strategy

BettorEdge offers several expiration timeframes for your orders:

1. 5 Minutes - Your order will remain active for just 5 minutes from placement
2. 15 Minutes - Your order stays active for a quarter hour after placing
3. Game Start - Your order remains active until the event begins
4. 5 Minutes After Game Start - Order extends briefly into the beginning of the event
5. Custom Time - Set a specific time for your order to expire

The platform automatically suggests expiration times based on when you place your order:

• Pre-game orders (placed well before event start): Default to "Game Start"
• Live/in-play orders: Default to 15 minutes from placement
• Last-minute orders (within 15 minutes of game start): Default to 15 minutes from placement time, which may extend past game start

Adjusting expiration times can be a key part of your betting strategy:

• Longer expirations (Game Start) maximize the chance of your order being filled
• Shorter expirations (5 or 15 minutes) protect against late-breaking news affecting odds

• Short expirations (5 minutes) help in fast-moving markets where conditions change rapidly
• Custom times allow you to target specific game segments or events

• Strategic expirations can be set around key announcement times (injury reports, lineup changes)
• Custom expirations can target times when you expect increased market activity

Modifying your order's expiration is simple:

1. When placing your order, scroll down to the expiration section
2. Select your preferred option from the available choices
3. For custom times, specify the exact date and time you want the order to expire
4. Confirm your selection when submitting the order

Order Expired Before Expected:

• Double-check the expiration time you selected
• Remember that expiration times are based on your device's time zone
• Verify there were no game time changes that affected your expiration

Order Not Expiring When Expected:

• Check if your order was partially filled, which may affect expiration status
• Verify your order status in your active orders section
• Contact support if your order seems stuck in the system

To make the most of order expiration times:

1. Consider your betting strategy before placing each order
2. Factor in your availability to monitor and adjust orders
3. Use shorter expirations for volatile markets or uncertain conditions
4. Set longer expirations when you're confident in your position and price

BettorEdge's flexible expiration options allow you to implement sophisticated betting strategies with no high fees like traditional betting platforms. By controlling exactly when your orders expire, you gain another tool to maximize your edge in the marketplace.
