WARNING: The Betfair API was unable to process the bet cancellation request. Second attempt activated. (Ref: 10000)

I got that. did not lose money at all but concerned as this is off a kill bet that needs to be killed.

Thanks.

It's when the betfair API refuses to cancel the bet (usually because it's locked for matching against another customer's bet). In these situations, Bet Angel logs the fact and then automatically tries again to establish the whether it was actually filled or not so that it can process an offset bet if required.

That's why we just log it as a Warning rather than an error. i.e. Betfair raises an error, but we can cope with it and therefore downgrade to a warning.
