As the title says, I've noticed that occasionally Bet Angel shows a different start time to that of Betfair. If the Betfair one is earlier, this in turn causes a problem when wanting to green up just before start time. The problem being it doesn't happen.

Example: Today's race at Rockhampton was due to start at 12:26 according to BA but 12:22 according to Betfair.

Is this something we just have to live with or can I do something different with Bet Angel so it matches the Betfair start time?

Thanks.

I think this means Betfair have adjusted the off time of that race since you loaded the market into Guardian. It is irritating when this happens.

You can definitely fix by closing and restarting Bet Angel.

Can't remember but it might also work if you remove the market from Guardian, refresh your markets, then re-add? Also I think you can manually edit the off-time in Guardian yourself. Pretty sure that works on automation too.

Betfair sometimes fails to take daylight saving into account in Queensland markets. For instance, today the Redcliffe trot fields times are all out by an hour, yet Rockhampton race times are correct. I always double check Qld markets Oct-thru-April when daylight savings is in use...

Yes, you can edit the times in Guardian and automation works off the amended times...

Yes. refresh and re-add works (mostly)
