I've only ever been using Bet Angel triggered from Excel.

I did check that the prices showing through Bet Angel were matching the prices available on the main Betdaq site.

Since I started trialling Betdaq exactly a week ago I've had this problem every day so far.

But suddenly today it seems to be fixed and I'm getting the displayed price every time.

I've not changed anything. Hope it continues.
Should have kept my mouth shut. It's back giving me 1.01 again now.

This one from Newmarket 16:25 is the strangest one yet. I put up £50 at 1.01 and it only ever matched me a total of £41 of it, (£11 then a further £30 not shown), even though there was money available for some time after my trade hit the market! Should be impossible.

Has Enda commented on this yet, would be a deal-breaker for some

Maybe put it in his thread

I feel they are trading their own markets and cancelling money available during the submission countdown.

Newmarket 16:25 - Foxy Journey won by 10L unchallenged
Looks like LAY money was taken off the table before it could be matched
Can't see anything wrong with that.

I PM'd him a few days ago, but he's not visited the forum this week. Perhaps he is away.

Interesting that you've seen this too.

Personally, I doubt it's anything sinister, but there's definitely something wrong somewhere.

Just had another example where I was matched at well below the market price that was available before, during, and immediately after my bet hitting the market. The prices showing on BA at that moment were aligned exactly with the prices showing on the main Betdaq site, so it's not that.

I've already updated my BA for BD from 1.28.4 to the latest available 1.28.5 just in case.

Any other ideas? Should I raise this issue with BA or with Betdaq?
Pretty sure it's not our error, but we will check, then raise with Betdaq.
This problem is still occurring on most races.

Have you been able to rule out any issue with Bet Angel?

I raised it with Enda via PM but he hasn't been active on the forum for several weeks.

Can you give me specific instructions to replicate it?

We've not seen anything on our side that would indicate it's our error. If we can replicate at will, that will help.

Thanks Peter. I'm using excel, (opened and connected via the one-click screen), to trigger a back bet for £1 @ 1.01. I'm backing the likely winner near the end of race so odds available are typically anything between n/o and 1.5. Occasionally it matches at the price that is available to back, but more often than not it matches significantly lower, as per the videos I uploaded.

Settings are almost all default I think. The only things I remember changing are the refresh cycles to make them all as quick as possible @ 200ms. I have the one-click screen open which is what I've been using to review matched vs available prices.

I use Betdaq from time to time and I notice for example let's say the best price to back a horse is 2.44 but I offer it at 2.5. My 2.5 sits there unmatched even though odds are being taken at 2.44? In fact my 2.5 should have moved to the front of the queue but doesnt. The 2.5 doesnt even appear in the queue. It appears under 'my bets unmatched bets'

This happens a lot and I'm wondering if there is a minimum stake of say £20 - £50 required in order for your bets to be visible to their market?

Hi. I was away for a two weeks. I have some of the other forums on my phone but regretfully not Bet Angel as of yet.

I will be getting this looked at today.
