I this an April fools joke by any chance ?

"Instead of opening a trade and nervously hoping that the market will move in the direction I hope to close at I can now open with full confidence of where the Actual SP will be."

Sounds great. I assume this was a feature only previously available to Peter, Dallas and the app devs ?
Can't wait to try it out ;)
I think it is reasonable to assume that the version has been put through the wringer by a select few before being released to a second wave of wider tesing.

Its actually a development of the previous method of setting the computer clock forward by 30 seconds to allow the Actual SP to become available to the API ahead of the actual off.

I hadn't even considered that. I went down the route of not syncing my PC with an NTP server for British Summer Time and living with a decent profit in the summer and terrible results in the winter :(

Following a recent security update from Betfair a few months ago you'll need Win7 with SP1 and Internet Explorer 11 or above to run any version of Bet Angel.

Older versions of Windows no longer support the security ciphers Betfair now requires

Good Update. If I could request something it would be some more work on the Soccer Mytic interface related to multiple markets. I think myself have to come in and out of SM far too much to be that usable.

PS: I think it was me that first suggested global variables. :)
