Hi All,
I'm struggling to figure out why my placed bets at certain ticks below current price get matched at the current price without it waiting until in reaches the desired odds? It must be something to do with the settings but I can't figure out what :?:
Any ideas would be appreciated!

Betfair always matches at best odds. If you place a back bet below the current price then it will be matched at the current price or better.

Hmm, I am just trying to have something like this working download/file.php?id=5943&mode=view
The placed bets here don't get matched straight away but only when it reaches required price?

The back bets in the image are being placed above the current price and the lay bets below, you are trying to place a back bet below the current price which will always be matched at the 'better', higher price.
