I trade several sports and they concatenate event and selection into one field with just a space separating them. Given that some football teams names consist of two words it feels a bit error-prone. On top of that, it doesn't have all the data I need and what data it has is quite mindlessly split over two files, so I think for now I'll continue to do it manually. It would be so easy for Betfair to just chuck a comma in the file: start/settled date, event, market type, selection, etc.
Where do you get your commission from?

I could do that, but I like to query my data on meetings, leagues, competitions, etc. So I'd still need to enter markets manually.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 2:22 pmIsn't it easier to reconcile the various files on marketId and selectionId?

I was aware they used a 3% assumption for all losing markets (an implied comm therefore of 1.5% on all losses).
I thought implied comm on winning markets was always half of actual commission paid? eg 1% on most markets but significantly more on aussie markets. Is this not correct?
