Hi !

I am a real newbie with BetAngel so this might be a silly question. In the past I used Betfairs webbinterface to bet In Play markets and then there were a delay of 5-8 seconds every time I confirm a bet. But, with Bet Angel there is also a delay in In Play markets with 5-8 seconds !!! Why is that??? Shouldn't Bet Angel be faster???

Not a silly question.

There is a delay in most in play markets to allow people to cancel or change orders if there is a change in market conditions - such as if a goal is scored.

There is no way around this delay. Not even with software. See here:
