In the BetAngel_1 spreadsheet i have a very simple Bet Rule of
Lay Kill_Fill:True Kill_Delay:4.5 with some small values in Stake & Odds while I am testing
BUT it consistently comes back immediately with a status of ERROR with no other explanation of what the error can be
Any assistance much appreciated
Bet Angel spreadsheet status returning ERROR

The problem may be in your odds or stakes. Make sure you ROUND() them to 2 decimal places. And apologies for stating the obvious - they need to be above £2. Your odds will need to be exactly one of the Betfair accepted increments too, often either of these are easily overlooked if you have a spreadsheet doing things automatically. Your bet instructions look fine to me.

Thanks for your reply
I am aware of rounding the odds to be in the ACCEPTABLE range which the spreadsheet calculates automatically and the minimum stake ($5 in Australia) but the problem appears to be with the KILL_FILL:TRUE
If I take that out and leave for example
Lay KillDelay:4.5 with odds of 1.01 and stake of $5
it sails straight through
But the biggest problem I then have is that the order is NOT killed, instead it is left in the queue as UNMATCHED which is highly dangerous, cost me $920 before I realised what was happening)
I have searched all of the forums without an answer so any more advice would be much appreciated
