I have just noticed on Big Brother Winner market that the amount available to back is showing different amounts on the API to normal Betfair page.
The lay prices are all the same.
When I placed a bet on Josie @ 1.61 £200+ available to back on API I tested a £2 stake it wasn't matched, the £200+ disappeared and my £2 appeared on the lay side. Has anyone any ideas about this.
Market showing different amounts on API and normal Betfair
This is normal:

The latest version of Bet Angel can do the same thing:

Just to clarify
On the API there was over £200 available to back Josie at 1.61. This was not showing on normal betfair screen best price available was 1.6. I placed a bet to test this at 1.61 and it wasn't matched and then showed as available to lay with the £200+ disappeared.

the refresh on the api can be up to 200 milliseconds as opposed to the main BF site which is alot slower, the £200 you mention abviously just got pulled before your bet hit the market , and the difference you are seen is the time differential between the api refresh rates and the slower main site.
