Quick Partial Position Selling Overview
Partial Position Selling allows you to sell just a portion of your active bet rather than the entire amount. This flexible feature gives you greater control over your betting strategy, letting you lock in some profits or minimize potential losses while keeping part of your original position active in the market.
Detailed Partial Position Selling Explanation
What is Partial Position Selling?
On BettorEdge, when you have an active bet (position), you have the option to sell either the entire position or just a portion of it before the event concludes. Partial selling works similarly to how stock investors might sell only some shares while holding onto others.
Additionally, a partial sell may occur if other users in the marketplace take part of your full sell order.
How Position Selling Works
When a Partial Sell occurs on a Position:
- You can specify exactly what percentage or dollar amount of your position you want to sell
- The remaining portion stays active in the market until the event concludes or you decide to sell it later
- Each portion (sold and remaining) is treated as its own separate position
- The payout calculations are proportionally adjusted based on the size of each portion
Benefits of Selling Positions
This feature offers several strategic advantages:
- Risk Management: Reduce exposure without completely exiting a promising position
- Profit Locking: Secure some returns while maintaining potential for additional gains
- Flexibility: Adapt to changing game conditions or new information
- Diversification: Free up funds for other betting opportunities
- No High Fees: Unlike traditional betting platforms, you won't face excessive charges for these transactions
Example of Partial Position Selling
Let's walk through a practical example:
- You place a $100 bet on the Lakers to win at +150 odds (potential profit: $150)
- The Lakers take an early lead, improving your position's value to $150 (your original $100 stake + $50 current profit)
- You decide to sell 50% of your position
- Result:
- You immediately receive $75 ($50 from your original stake + $25 in profit)
- You still have a $50 stake remaining on the Lakers (with potential to win an additional $75)
- If your position is subject to push risk, the profit portion may be handled as a Delayed Cash Out
How to Sell a Position Partially
To sell just part of your bet:
- Navigate to your active positions in your account
- Select the position you wish to partially sell
- Choose the "Sell Position" option
- Specify what percentage you want to sell (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%)
- Review the current sale price and confirm the transaction
Problem: I can't find the option to sell partially
Solution: Make sure you're viewing an active position set your amount to the desired amount you wish to sell for that particular market
Problem: My partial sale isn't processing
Solution: There may not be enough liquidity in the market. Try selling a smaller portion, at a different price or try again later when more users are active
