Invalid Persistence

[davez]

On race 3 at Warwick Farm(Australian racing) today I received an invalid_persistence error message when trying to place a BACK-SP bet.

The help file states this error occurs when using the -SP modifier on a market that will not be turning in play, however I had placed BACK-SP bets at this meeting prior on earlier races with out any problems & the error as yet has not occurred again.

Any ideas what could have caused this error?

& of course the horse did win, but luckily I happened to be watching this race & placed the bet manually.

Sorry, I don't know why you got that error if the market was definitely offering SP. It's too late now, but if it happens again check the market information by clicking on the blue "i" above the grid in BA. It should mention whether it offers SP.

no worries, I am guessing that it was a Betfair glitch of some sort as it was definitely a meeting that offered SP

On a separate SP matter , I've noticed that BA is ignoring the default SP actions at one of the newer RSA courses that now allow SP, even though the market is being recognised as an SP market in the betting options box.

Can't remember the market off hand but I'll make a note of it next time it crops up.

Just tried on Scottsville and it's ignoring the default SP and just placing a normal bet. The RSA courses have only recently been added for BSP so not sure what criteria BA is using to determine the BSP markets when it comes to bet placement

Yes, that's a bug. I'll fix it. It's probably because it's not turning in play. Up until now SP markets have also been markets that are turned in play.

The bug is fixed in version 1.1.0.65z4 (official release) and 1.1.0.66x46 (Beta)
