Why can't I find all the Betfair football matches even without filters?

For example, this morning I only have one Chinese League One match on Betangel and 8 matches on Betfair.

thanks

Thanks for the filter, but it doesn't answer my question.

The market selection tree is downloaded as a single large data file from Betfair when you first login.

At the top of the market selection window is a icon of two green arrows which you can click to refresh the market list manually and retrieve to most up to date list from Betfair

If there are any markets missing then either they will have been added by Betfair after you logged in (and before you have refreshed your market list)

On some rare occasions (i'm talking 1-2 twice a year usually with obscure low liquidity markets) they have been known to add them to a different part of the market tree on their API than on their website so depending on how you've searched you may have do so a different way in these instances

Is there any difference between what this button does and the refresh button in the Guardian market selection 'select' tab?

No, both perform the same task
