problem with bet today

Postby pavil » Thu Jul 21, 2011 2:17 pm

hi

firstly, apologies for the long post, but....

i laid Lady Jameela for £344.83 at odds of 1.29 (liability £100) with a 1 tick offset earlier and the bet was getting matched so i was at the front of the queue with about £3k behind me and only £200 or so at 1.3 so i was more than likely to get both bets matched at that point. £60.84 was already matched and the offset was matched also, but then the remaining lay just disappeared. it wasnt matched as the profit/liability never changed. wasnt sure if it was a problem with betfair again so i greened up the matched £60.84 and cancelled all bets just in case. The £283.99 that disappeared was showing as cancelled in the betfair account page but i never actually cancelled it myself so not sure what happened. I did have a 2 tick stop loss set but the price never went down that low at that point and as i said my profit/liability never changed and i didnt have fill or kill set either. Just curious as to what may have happened as ive never seen that before.

There was a non runner in the race so lay bets would have been canc elled if there was a r4 deduction, no idea what time that occured though was it around the same time?

must have been withdrawn before i'd bet or while i was writing that post as there wasnt a "suspend" any horse showing blank in the back/lay which normally happens for a withdrawn horse at the point the bet cancelled.

I'm afraid I can't tell from that log. I recommend updating to the Beta version which has totally rewritten tick offset/stop loss code which I believe is more reliable, also it logs more information about bets being cancelled. See http://gruss-software.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6341

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.
