Suggestion - automatically update corrected start times

[jamesedwards]

So often now Betfair set up markets with incorrect start times, and retrospectively correct them at some point before the actual off.

Currently Bet Angel does not pick up these changes until BA is restarted, leaving those running 24/7 with permanently incorrect start times.

It would be very useful if Bet Angel was able to periodically reconcile the start times of all loaded markets or at least highlight discrepancies.

For me, this would be such a valuable improvement that I would be happy to pay extra for it.

I've literally no idea how we would implement this because I'd love this feature as well but the practical upshot of attempting to implement this is extremely hard.

I've generally not seen Betfair. Update start times. I see it occasionally in Australia but I've never seen it in the UK.

It happens often on cricket markets, a couple of times a week at least.

These are just the ones I've noticed in the last few days:
Thu - Ireland W v West Indies W was initially set up with a 15:25 start time but subsequently corrected to 16:00.
Thu - England W v India W was initially set up with a 17:55 start time but subsequently corrected to 18:30
Sat - Pakistan v Australia was initially set up with a 11:55 start time but subsequently corrected to 12:30
Mon - Ireland W v West Indies W initially set up with a 17:00 start time but subsequently corrected to 16:00.

I have to manually reconcile every single market on the day to avoid getting my pants pulled down.
