interesting screen grab … do you have the actual bet details? One obvious difference is that Betfair shows three amounts … win (in total including place bet), net place (after loss of win stake) and not placed. BA only shows two amounts, don't know how they are defined but it looks like they could they be … win (win only) and lose (lose all!).

Not sure what bet details would you like. I backed the horse in the screenshot EW for £45, £90 in total.

I was just curious to work the numbers for myself to try and understand what may be going on. I'm guessing BA is showing the win portion only of the bet … £952.56 (Bf profit if wins) - £114.66 (Bf profit if placed including losing win stake) = £837.90 then subtract the £45 stake gives £792.90 which is pretty close to the BA figure of £793.80. But that may be a coincidence.

Doesnt matter coz at the end of the day it just doesnt show it properly :)
Dunno about the previous versions coz i started not so long ago but it looks like an evident bug...unless there is some weird box to tick in the settings to make it work properly.
