Hello, over the last few days I have had a number of trades failed to hedge out Or trade out on test strategies on lower stakes - (sub the betfair £2/€2 limit). I have read on another blog/website that betfair has introduced a change to their api that is aimed at low stake traders. Anyone else Seen this? Rade did betfair communicate this to you?
Thanks

Yes, they made some emergency change to the API.

We will let you know as soon as we know more about this. It appears that lay bets are particularly affected at small sizes, that is why hedge at small bet size is not working.

Hello I have BF BOT MANAGER V2 and i have the same problem...is it posible to fix it? Thank you

[ftktrader]

Yes, I´ve been facing the same issue, please let us know asap!

thanks

Same issue here I was not sure if it was the version update I did a couple of days ago or betfair aggressively enforcing their min £2 stake on all trades.

[baddydaddy67]

Thanks Rade, betfair as usual show little consideration to their customers. This could have been communicated better. Look forward to hearing your advice on the impact this has on hedging out.

We received detailed information from Betfair and we will proceed with updating software now. Once it is all done and tested we will publish update.

It makes you wonder why Betfair did this in the first place if they are willing to give out "detailed information" to get round it again

This gets worse - when I was using the bfbot at the weekend I noticed that even on small stakes my liabilities shown in the top right hand corner were going mental. So today I check my betfair account I have been debited £60 for breaching the bets / hour limit. Might be worth others checking their accounts.

Now I know for sure that the bots I run would never get to placing that many bets in one hour.

One to look into Rade.

Lots of reports going around with issues, negative balances , strange liabilities. Mine is paused currently, not worth the hassle.

Is that under Data Request Charges in account statement?

[baddydaddy67]

It doesnt say that is what it is for on the statement - I contacted them to find out what the charge was for and yest I managed to breach the 1000 bet/hour rule - was more worried my account had been hacked. Chalk it up to experience I guess but the whole API change should have been handled better.

Gone back on all my transactions to the 18th (76 pages ) and found nothing - I was a bit worried as I had a minus £20 account balance at one point yesterday
