From a professional aspect, it's really shoddy to release this in the middle of a major festival, just ahead of the restart of the EPL without warning and without testing or consulting third-party vendors.
I realise they may have had to stop somebody from abusing the system, but they should have given us a chance to know what they have done, why and also given us a chance to respond with changes of our own. The team had to work flat out yesterday afternoon during Ascot to come up with a patch.
Bet Angel V1.54.2 - Greening Fix from API Issues
FYI this info may be of some use:
lay £0.63 at 11.00 fails but lay £0.55 at 12.00 passes
Approx 50 AUS horse races were successfully staked between 2.30 am and 7.30 am
This started to fail again from 7.30 am this morning and is still ongoing.
Thanks

It feels like betfair are tweaking the parameters of their 'fix' as bets that were allowed through yesterday afternoon are failing again now.
We can tweak our workaround again, but until thy fully explain what they are doing we're not going to be 100% accurate.
Maybe their 'fix' hasn't actually fixed anything and they are still suffering from the initial problem while making things worse for the traders.

We've just updated the build to 1.54.2b with slightly different parameters which hopefully will be good enough to see us through the rest of the weekend!
Same download links as before, just install over the top of the last version.

Can I check what constitutes as minimum bet abuse, from what I can tell online it's people/bots placing lots of very small bets whereby Betfair can't take their % commission due to rounding issues?
The reason I ask is I'm currently testing a bot and have been for weeks now, it usually places bets above the £2 mark but sometimes depending on the odds it can fire a back bet in as low as .70p, bets generally aren't greened.
I've paid commission on all bets and haven't had an email or warning from Betfair but is it wise to maybe look at increasing account size and stakes just in case?

I was also wondering similar and is bet rounding the same as described above?Diacritical Quark wrote: ↑Sat Jun 20, 2020 10:50 amCan I check what constitutes as minimum bet abuse, from what I can tell online it's people/bots placing lots of very small bets whereby Betfair can't take their % commission due to rounding issues?

Fair play to the BA team by the way as well for getting a fix through so quick. Well done guys
Thanks dev team for doing this so promptly, as an ex developer I know how difficult it is to put out fixes when you've not even got a spec to work from.
We updated it again this morning to 1.54.2b with different parameters for the patch, so if your About box isn't showing that version, then please download again and retry
What would you advise other traders not using Betangel? Would you say not to trade if their software has not had a work around?Dallas wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 8:21 pmWe are pleased to announce a special release of Bet Angel Professional is available v1.54.2
There are no new features in this release, but it does contain a fix to workaround a unannounced change made by Betfair to their API to prevent consistent attempts to take advantage of bet rounding. This change has resulted in errors occuring and orders now being rejected when greening up with small stakes
We have raised this with Betfair and are awaiting a response to work out a way forward, In the meantime for anyone who is using smaller stakes and has found their bets and green up orders being rejected we'd recommend you download the latest version from the links below
