Help with 1000 bets

[Ian1506]

Hi folks. I've only just discovered BA and was doing OK until tonight and I am hoping you may be able to help.
I am playing with dutch betting using excel triggers and can get my bets to fire but on the BA screen they are coming up with my stake being $5, Odds at 1000 and profit/Liability being $4995.
At the moment I have just over $200 in my account and am dutching to a liability of about $4 per race. The bets obviously come up as unmatched and are then cancelled. I have tried the same formular with both UK dogs and UK horses with the same result.

To make matters more complicated for me when I dutch the same selections directly from BA (not using excel) they go through just fine.

Pretty sure I have a setting wrong somewhere but can seem to find it.
Cheers Ian. (Aus)

When it places bets below minimum allowed stake by Betfair which is $5 it first has to place a back bet for $5 at 1000. It then changes the stake to $5 plus your actual stake which creates an additional bet for your required stake. It then cancels the $5 bet and changes the odds to your required odds. It must be failing at the second step leaving the bets at 1000. Usually the cause is exceeded exposure, but it sounds like you have sufficient funds.

Can you send the diagnostic log to admin@gruss-software.co.uk
It is named BA_Diagnostix.txt and is located in c:\temp\Betting Assistant Logs

I think I have worked it out Gary. Had some quotation marks in my trigger where there should not have been. I'll keep at it and let you know if it happens again. Thanks for you quick reply earlier.

Cheers Ian
