Any way to see where you are in the queue?

[magwitch78]

Does anyone know if there's a feature on any software that shows exactly where you are in the queue whilst you're waiting to get matched? has this question been asked before? i think it would be a valuable tool to have.

It has been suggested in the past but since Betfairs introduction of X-Matching it would be difficult to implement with any degree of acuracy that can be relied upon to be of any real use.

XM was introduced for BF's benefit, not ours

The result has muddied the waters on bets being matched, because there are numerous occasions when I'm questioning the integrity of the matching process

Quite frankly, it's impossible to build an accurate picture into BA. All you can do is make a note yourself of how much was matched on a selection before you joined the queue, and how much was sat there already on your arrival. Don't forget £2 is added for every £1 matched!

Such a thing has never been created, well, truly created. You can claim to have one for marketing purposes, but that's pretty much entirely misleading for the reasons other have stated above.

If you put small orders in the market at regular intervals using automation then sort them in the unmatched bet area by bet reference ID. You will have an idea of how close an order is to filling. But that can all change quite quickly in liquid markets. But that is the most accurate way of seeing what is going on.
