Problem with greyhound LAY-SP triggered bets being cancelled

[spindlefish]

I've been using Excel to lay horses with the LAY-SP trigger and have had no problems. Tonight I tried the same with greyhounds, but in 2 consecutive races, after my lays have been sitting unmatched as expected (my lays were below the current price), all lays have been matched at BFSP except on the shortest priced runners.

In the first race, the fav was 1.99, and in the second there were 2 dogs priced at about 3.2-3.6. All lays except these short ones have been matched in the reconciliation process, but after the SP reconciliation, these short ones show up as CANCELLED.

All liabilities are over the BF minimum of £10. Anyone know what's going on?

When you say liability what do you actually mean? Betfair's minimum limit for SP means your actual payout has to be £10 as opposed to how some may calculate liability.

If your payout was above that £10 for the runners i.e. at 1.99 your stake would have had to be £10.11. If it wasn't down to the stake sizes just post up your actual bets and the races as I've always found the BSP to be robust and rarely fails as long as you stick to the correct minimums

Capt S, I think you've hit the nail on the head. I was testing, so my total payouts would be a little over £10, but as you point out, that's not the same as liability. Thanks for your reply.
