Signposting markets with no delays for passive bets

[ShaunWhite]

Betfair are trialing no delays for passive bets on ITF and Challenger Tour matches, odd numbered Market Ids initially for AvB testing. They expect to signpost markets without passive bet delay via the API by the end of March, will this indicator be available to Guardian?

We can look into that. We already have a bet delay function in Guardian so I guess it may become part of that or similar.

BTW, we do read all suggestions so I noted your one about market strategy ref.

Thanks, I realise a full implementation would be challenging but that might not be necessary, happy to talk about the specifics of the issue and potential workarounds off-forum if it might help.
