Hi, had a strange thing happen. Yesterday and last night had 9 lay bets matched on different horse racing markets that ran today. They were a mixture of manual and automated bets. They were all showing at 6am but some time later they were all gone with no record of them on betfair. The only record I can find of them is in the betangel log. The log below is complete.

6/5/2023 23:55:12: [G_Auto 1] : £ 2.00 Lay bet placed on Grow Nasa Grow at 42. £ 1.17 matched at 42 £ 0.83 unmatched when it initially reached the market. Ref: 309948772329 ( Fill or kill bet with 300 seconds delay. Offsetting by 400% [A] with greening. )
6/6/2023 00:00:12: [G_Auto 1] : £ 1.11022302462516E-16 of unmatched bet (Ref:309948772329) was filled before remainder was killed.
6/6/2023 00:00:12: [G_Auto 1] : £ 0.23 Back bet placed on Grow Nasa Grow at 210. Entirely unmatched when it initially reached the market. Ref: 309948896924
6/6/2023 08:04:01: Guardian has detected that the market is suspended
6/6/2023 08:04:02: Guardian has detected that the market is now unsuspended
6/6/2023 09:06:06: Guardian has detected that the market is suspended


This matched bet has gone? Was showing in account at 6am. Nothing on betfair profit/loss. No greening. The race ran and the runner ran.....Any ideas?

It's close to zero but not zero. It's 0.000000000000111022302462516. 😁

It's a general type rounding error. It's why you never code '=0' and should always use a function for testing near zero. Both ends of the process are equally to blame, BF for sending it, BA for accepting it.
