This will adjust the odds of the selections bet by the number of ticks in the table below.
So if a bet is placed on a selection, the price the actual bet is placed is adjusted by the ticks set so you can adjust
above or below the price.
This is great for trying to get better odds or trying to guarantee you get a match by putting the bet on so that there is enough money to match the bet at various levels up to and including your odds.

Example: You want to back as selection at 5.0, but make sure you get matched. If you adjust bet ticks to -3 then
the amount is worth -0.3 and the bet will go on at 4.7 or higher. This should allow a good match.
You may want to try and get better odds so you could back a selection at 3.0 with adjust bet ticks at +5 which
are equal to 0.25. So the bet will go in at 3.25. Remember you may not get matched as easily though.
The opposite is true for laying. If you want better matches then adjust bet ticks +ve. If you want better value,
but risk not getting matched, then adjust bet ticks –ve.
