Hello to all

I am using a Bet angel practice mode and trying to learn about automation...when an event starts, I get a few sound alerts that event is in play (when I was using BA a few years ago, there was only one sound alert that event is in play)....ending an event is strange too...I get randomly alerts that event is in play or suspended...and all odds are flashing or moving rapidly...although race or other event ended a while ago (5 or 10 seconds before)...

is this normal or there is a problem with API or something like that ? or because I am using wireless connection to internet ?

Thank you for your help in advance...

This can happen if there is a photo finish, the market can be re-opened for anything from a few seconds to several minutes and there is always a lot of activity on the runners involved.

There rest of your log just looks like someone at BF got confused with what they where doing with the market or the API started playing up, i dont trade these type of markets so not sure how common it is on them.

Thank you Dallas...

The problem still occurs...when event goes in play, I get several alerts that event is in play, but only after 5 or 10 seconds later BA starts timer for in play time...

If I set (for example) a trigger to arm at 5 seconds after event start time,it will actually arm 10 or maybe 15 seconds after event start time...

Have you placed any live bets recently? Have you deposited any money into Betfair?

I think you can see this type of behaviour if you have no recent live activity or no funds in your account.

It could be the reason...I have no recent live activity and my account has no funds...
