Assuming it is acceptable, we would like to start posting our release notes here to help get feedback from everyone on the board as we continue to work on AmWager.
Today we released version 1.0.7 which is a fairly large update. We hope that the changes and additions are welcomed as they have come almost entirely directly from players (some from players on here).
Release notes - AmWager V1.0.7
New Features
1. Conditional Wagering Enhancements
a. As requested, users may now specify up to 2 odds/payout conditions per wager. This allows for wagers to be placed when current odds are within a certain range or other complex patterns. If needed this limit can be increased.
b. UI for inputting conditions has been remade to be more user friendly.
2. New Bet Modifiers
a. Based on player suggestions AmWager has created two new bet modifiers that create combinations based on the value of the runners similar to the way computer wagering groups operate.
b. Rank modifier allows users to quickly select the amount they wish to spend and order the runners from first to last (leaving out any they do not want). AmWager then calculates the best combinations to wager.
c. Rank Pro modifier allows players that calculate their own odds lines to input them in percentage form. AmWager then calculates the optimal combinations up to their selected stake amount.
3. Quick Bets
a. Quick bets are bets generated entirely by AmWager. User’s select the amount they wish to wager, then the type of quick bet. AmWager does the rest.
b. Random -> AmWager creates a single random combination.
c. Current Odds -> AmWager creates as many combinations as allowed by the users stake based on the current WIN odds of all runners.
d. Trending Runners -> AmWager creates combinations using WIN odds on horses whose odds are currently trending lower. (Taking more money)
4. TRU Odds
a. After listening to players we have created an aggregated odds measurement using all currently available pool data.
b. Currently this utilizes WIN, EX, QU, DBL, PLC and SHW pools but will automatically add other pools should data from tote become available.
d. Willpay data where available will be incorporated into this model in the future as well.
5. Progressive Web App
a. AmWager is now a Progressive Web App and will automatically install as a native App on Android and Windows.
b. AmWager can also be installed on IoS devices but requires manual steps until Apple is done with their PWA integration.
c. This means the fastest ADW software just got faster and also opens up a lot of possible future enhancements.
d. Android users will be automatically prompted.
e. All users will now see an “Install App” button in the menu. Clicking it on Android/Windows will automatically install. Clicking it on Apple devices will give users instructions of how to install.
Other enhancements and fixes:
1. Intro walkthrough will no longer show multiple times for new users.
2. Race ALL wagers can now be stacked.
3. Selected matrix/pool tab will stay selected between race changes.
4. Ticket counts and totals now update more consistently.
5. Clear button now properly removes lettered entries again.
6. Sparklines no longer disappear when changing pool.
7. Various performance enhancements.
We hope you like our changes and look forward to your feedback for more ways to make AmWager the best ADW experience possible.
Thanks as always,
