Why are the odds...

[LanceUppercut]

Yet another newb question. Why are the odds quite a bit different on the Bet Angel interface compared to Betfair? I thought it was to do with the refresh time but they don't seem to be synching at all.

Thanks

Lance,

This will depend on whether you have funds in your betfair account. If you have no funds the app will switch to the delayed odds which could be 30 seconds out of sync.

Of course, if you do have funds in the account then it's a different issue and one that I've never come across

Hi jimibt

I do have funds in my account. Just now the odds did sync up but this happens rarely. Oh well!

Thanks anyway
Lance

Perhaps you need to put up an example. There shouldn't be a difference unless for the reasons stated above. Betfair does refresh much slower than Bet Angel so that may be what you are seeing.

Hi Euler

Taking an earlier example from the Correct Score market, BA was showing odds of 28 while Betfair was showing odds of 24. I did get matched through BA at the higher odds however. The differing odds don't seem to be an issue now providing I get matched through BA. The thing throwing me off was the commission being taken into account only by the Betfair interface. Is there any way to configure BA to take commission into account? This is probably as clear as mud.

Thanks

Was the 'Bet view' slider on the BF screen affecting it ?

Hi Shaun

I just altered the slider to the £2 view and it has indeed synced the odds. Is there any way to alter this but on BA rather than Betfair?

Thanks for the help
Lance
