I have not been trading now for 9 months well i have been trying different strategies, edge gain systems etc , luckily Betfair didnt charge me for using the practice mode for that long. I didnt miss it either, maybe because of last years profits that i used for positive things. Anyway i know Betfair have a fancy site up and all that which dont get me wrong it looks all nice and that but am trading the Man Utd & Tottenham game now and my position on BA shows different to Betfair, i tried refresh and nothing happens. I placed the bet initialy on the Betfair site anyone any ideas, Happy New year to you all, feels like returning off a long trip away

Welcome back to the madhouse!

Not sure I can attempt to explain what you saw without more detail.

Would it because your viewing their sports book odds on their site and the exchange through BA?

These was an issue on their site on the 1st because my £ account was showing my balance in $.

I remember one time that i checked my account and it had my account at over 6k even thou i only had about £100 in it.

Needless to say it corrected itself after about 30 seconds :shock:

Betfair tend to settle one side of the book then the other, so sometimes your account balance can balloon dramatically during settlement.

What would happen if you withdrew or placed a large bet during that? Would your account go negative? :lol:
