BetDetail COM getting partially matched stakes after UPDATE

[laffo16]

basicly whats writen in the title. if i place a bet, then UPDATE it a few times and it is matched at different prices with different bet ref's, if i call the COM function BetDetails using the last given betref, will the

requestedSize:double Requested stake
matchedSize:double Matched stake

stay true to the original bet, or will this information ajust for each betref. eg, will the requeststake be less if a portion of the stake was matched by a previous betref before an UPDATE.

i'm under the assumption that for each partially matched betref i will also get seperate entries in the results log. if an unmatched betref is UPDATE, does this count as a CANCELLED on the bet log also? thanks

i'm really looking for a single betref which i could COM call which would contain the over results of a bet including all UPDATE's?

also a single result posted in the results log with either the first or last given betref. but as trigger offsets are fired individualy on PM's, i think this may already be handled with seperate betref results?

The bet refs are not linked, each subsequent bet ref will have a lesser portion of the stake. You need to keep track of the bet refs and total them to get the overall position.

Yes, when you update a bet the old bet ref will appear as cancelled in the results.

I would need to introduce the concept of a master bet ref which the program does not currently support.

The bet results sheet will only show the result from the original bet, not the offset bet, but you can work one out from the other.

thanks for the reply gary, on 2nd thought, i'm not sure wether having a master bet ref would be any more useful then having the seperate bet ref's, although it would be simplier to call and perhaps a little quicker to determin any unmatched stake from the master bet ref, it would not provide all the information which can be obtained from each individual ref.

if a master bet ref was made however, which bet ref would it use, would the individual (UPDATE) bet refs be ignored from the results log with the replacement of the master bet ref.

If I was to create a master bet ref, it would have to be different from the Betfair references otherwise it could cause confusion and yes it would replace all the other references.

i think it would be nice a feature on 3rd thoughts lol ^^, perhaps just an additional condition to the getBet(ref:string, master_ref:boolean): BetDetail function which totals the linked bet refs, and leave the excel results log as it is. i suppose the 1st given bet ref would be considered the master ref, but i think it would be nice if the master_ref (when set) operated accordingly if any of the of the linked bet refs are used.

i guess this way, using the master bet just as a COM call, it would be more of a temporary calculation without the need of its own bet ref address.
