Wrong Minutes

[gvigliani]

Hello Gary,
I, as many know by now, I plan bots. A final problem in the data entered by BA on the Excel spreadsheet is that the minutes of the meeting are not just compared to the ones provided by Betfair instead. This error could be repercussions on the game that the bot is programmed to do. Think of a layata up 81-90 when the minutes are still 75 but as I've seen.
Thanks

I'm not sure what you are trying to say. Can you explain a bit further or does anyone else understand the problem?

I presume the countdown timer goes negative after the expected kick off time ? I think he may be using this to indicate how many minutes have elapsed but it would appear that the match kicked off a couple of minutes late.

what I'm saying is that the start of the second half of the game does not coincide with the time expressed by the value entered by BA on the Excel sheet.

The time sent by BA to Excel is the number of minutes elapsed since the scheduled kick off time. The API does not provide time elapsed from actual kick off or half time therefore it cannot be displayed in BA.
