Cannot place any lay bets today

Postby Shaker » Thu Jan 21, 2021 2:28 pm

Hi, Am fine placing back bets (of any size of any liability) but every lay bet I'm attempting is coming back:

Error Placing Bet. (API_ERROR)

Any ideas? Thanks.

If you have a look at twitter betfair help a number of people having issues not restricted to Gruss users.

I'm getting issues laying bets in some markets, not in others. Definitely a BF API problem

The following bet(s) could not be placed: Most likely this is due to you being located in a country where we currently can't offer our services. If you have questions please contact our Helpdesk at info@betfair.com.

Got that when using the website

Probably down to Betfair trying to block the white labels from laying due to the Charles Byrnes case and cocking up and blocking everyone.

Only on horses but can lay future races at the moment thankfully didn't cost me much but would have been a nightmare if it'd happened overnighth when I wasn't around to see it :(

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
