Not a big deal but I just wondering if others have had this 'issue',

On the ladder, with £1 selected from the presets....it puts £2 on?

I thought I'd have a quid on Psychocandy @1000 when they caught it, and it put £2 on. I'm 99% sure I didn't double click and I never get mouse double clicks.

I've had this happen before a few times....it seems to happen with long priced runners? I just tried it again on a shorty and it put £1 on as it should.

Its how placing a minimum bet works:

Back £1 at 10:
Place £2 at 1000
Cancel to £1
Replace price to 10

Although BetAngel mentioned that they have optimised there algo to take advantage of the fact you can place below £2 on the API (£10 minimum liability instead) So if that is true it shouldn't have happened.

ahhhhh of course...now I see it..
Many thanks Linus.

It doesn't really trouble me but I like to mention if I find a quirk in the dusty corners of software, a sad habit from a few years in QA. I'm still using BA 1.44.0 (I'm a cautious upgrader)....that might explain why the old cancel/replace algo is still in effect ?

Is the new ver now 100% stable?

Anyway, from now on if I see a 1000 shot I fancy, i'll push the boat out and have 2 quid instead of 1. Such is the life of a high roller 8-)
