INVALID_NUMBER_OF_BETS ????

Postby Graham » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:36 pm

Never seen this before, is it something to do with the new batch thing for sub £2 bets? It seems to cause the bets to get stuck as £2 bets at 1000.

Managed to replicate the problem, it only seems to occur when trying to place bets on more than 15 selections simultaneously, when linked to excel via the Log Multiple Sheets Quick Link. When linked to an excel sheet using Log Current Prices bets are sent in batches up to 15 according to settings.

Perhaps something has changed, at Betfair's end, or a possible bug, I don't know. Would it be possible to apply the same limits when using the multiple sheets quick link?

Hi :)

I am personally pretty sure it has nothing to do with "the batch thing for sub £2 bets".

It has to do with "Number of bets not between 0 and 15"
Copy and paste this url into browser address bar - read about half way down page?

Hopes this helps explain - Michael :wink:

Thanks for that link Michael, but I don't think that's the case. Back Bets are submitted successfully at 1000, over 15 at a time, but the error only occurs after this. Pretty sure something has changed somewhere, as I've never encountered this before.

Unfortunately for me this caused a wee problem yesterday as an error on my part led to continual resubmission and thus put plenty up for the 1000 hoovers! Nearly worked in my favour as one selection went to 300 IR. :(

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.
