IR Delay In Place Bets Excel Workbook ?

[dogform]

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me what the value represents in cell L3 of the Gruss Place Bets excel workbook, this cell is adjacent right to cell K3 which contains a label "IR Delay"

Does the cell K3 provide visibility of the In-Play delay in seconds set by Betfair for that specific market and liable to change for soccer, horse racing tennis etc?

Typo, I should have referred to cell L3.

Does the cell K3 provide visibility of the In-Play delay in seconds set by Betfair for that specific market and liable to change for soccer, horse racing tennis etc?

Hi,

Yes it does, i.e. it will be 0 when not in play and between 1 and 9 for "In Play" markets

Regards,

Mark,

Thx for the reply.

Would you happen to have any details of the sports and markets where the values of 1 to 9 are assigned (straight win markets)?

It varies, there is no list. In general though it's always 1 second for horse racing and 5 seconds or more for all other sports. Not all soccer matches are 5 seconds, some are 8 for example, but it's not possible to know this until after kick off because Betfair don't make this information available.

It also makes no difference if straight win market or not. The in play delay is applied if you can bet in play so the same delay will apply to all in play markets for a soccer match, for example match odds, over/under 2.5 goals etc.
