Introducing BetTurtle Quick Settings

No digging through complicated menus — just hit Quick Settings and instantly tailor your racecards. You can toggle dozens of display options with a single click, from enabling Dark Mode for low-light viewing to adding Charts, Icons, and detailed performance notes.

Quick Settings

There are 26 settings you can quickly set on the BetTurtle to tailor the way the race card is displayed.

To do this simply click the "Quick Settings" button on any race card. The settings will be saved and applied to all future race cards.

The remainder of this article will provide details of each of the settings and the changes they will make to the race card.

Dark Mode

BetTurtle offers two display modes; Dark and Light. Light mode is the default setting.

Decimal Odds

Switch between conventional and decimal odds on the race cards.

Charts

Race card charts provide a visual representation of ratings and odds information over time.

Icon Stats

Provide quick access to detailed statistics and information for each horse.

Popup Icon Stats

You can view the Icon stats information in two ways: as a popup that disappears when you move your mouse, or below the Icon Stats. The latter is better suited to mobile devices.

Exposed - A horse whose preferences are well understood. May win occassionally, but may struggle against unexposed or improving horses.
Sleeper - A horse that has not been running well, but has been dropping down the handicap ratings. Could return to form at big prices.
