bet partially matched

[alrodopial]

A bet placed in Excel is partially matched,
how often does ba asks bf if the bet is further matched? Every update?

If you're streaming it'll push the data to BA same as it does with price data. If polling it should check bet data on each refresh

so with streaming on and bet reff in excel column T you will get the result as quick as possible.

Regarding placing a bet using excel vs placing a bet using COM
excel placing is better if
you want quick and continuous update of your bet but it doesn't allow you to place another bet at the selection (case of partially matched bet/till bet reff is cleared)
and placing a bet with COM is better if
you just want to "place and leave" bet AND want to place another bet at the selection later on

Am I correct?

I don't use the COM but as long as the bet ref is clear with excel you can still place other bets. The mybets excel sheet can be used to keep track of any matched or unmatched bets. Guess all depends on how you've coded your sheet but I track positions from mybets, just remember that gets updated after the 16 column price refresh
