The event clock / timer displays either time till start or the duration the event has been in-play. It can also be configured to give visual and audible warnings about the event status.

Main docking pane

This is where the main functions of BetGizmo and interaction with Betfair is performed. In the docking pane it is possible to have many forms displayed simultaneously, placed anywhere the user decides best suits their Betfair betting style. When BetGizmo closes, the display configuration is saved and automatically re-loaded when BetGizmo is next run.
