Hi All,

Just trying to clarify something and wondering if anyone can help me out.

I am looking at the bet fair price data from https://promo.betfair.com/betfairsp/prices. These 3 variables:

PPWAP - Weighted Average Price of all bets placed pre-off
PPMAX - Maximum price placed before the off (only bets of a payout of more than GBP100 included)
PPMIN - Minimum price placed before the off (only bets of a payout of more than GBP100 included)

Are they inclusive of lay bets, or is it only back bets? So when it shows a maximum or minimum price, is it a combination of both back and lay bets, or just back bets? And same question goes for which prices go into the WAP, just back or both back and lay?

Thank you for any clarification.

It will be traded price, which is both back and lay. Every back bet needs a lay bet to match.
