Betfair Poker Wallet issue

[Euler]

I've become aware today that there is an issue with balances not showing if you have transferred any of it into the Poker waller.

It doesn't effect everybody, just a random number of accounts.

Betfair are investigating but confirm they can see balances on their side. So don't panic if your Poker balance is zero.

I panicked when I saw my poker balance was zero, but then I remembered I don't play poker.

Looks like you can still transfer it back to the main wallet. So it's still there, but just showing zero.

Lots of people use the Poker wallet to 'park' unused funds, so they are not in the main wallet. It's a form of account security.

I just transferred some balance to the poker wallet for the first time, and it's showing up fine.

Why do you use the poker wallet? Do you think the balance is safer in there from a security perspective, or is it more about limiting potential exchange exposure? Any concerns with setting off warning flags with Betfair from putting a large amount in there? I don't want them putting hold on my account because they think I'm about to blow my balance playing poker.

Thx for the heads up

A bit of both. When I run some new automation, you never know what you have missed. So you can't run out of money in an account where there is only a small amount.

I've never had a problem transferring wedges back and forth. It's an internal transaction and traceable. So never come across a problem due to that.

Thanks, yes that makes sense. For years I've always laid Spurs to win the league at evens when I want to tuck money away. But one day that will bite me if I accidentally back, or (much less likely ) Spurs price actually reaches evens at some point. Will dip my toe into the poker wallet water and see what happens.

What do you do on Betdaq?

Shove something at small odds in some long term market.

I said the same thing once about Arsenal, lul

If you tuck a large wedge away by laying at evens in some long term market, just be sure to quadruple-check you're not hitting the back button by mistake!

Like someone said last time you can enter a low amount first and after the bet is in just update the amount to raise the stake

I permanently leave a £1 open lay against Spurs at evens. Then amend this value from £1 to £x rather than creating a whole new bet, just to be on the safe side.

I use £1 stakes as an alert system of sorts, and place them everywhere on stuff I might trade

Great advice that. I had to teach myself to do this after being burned on more than one occasion. On multiple markets simultaneously.
