Problem in Excel Laying under minimum stake

[the_mathman]

Hi,
i have some problem with the Excel triggers:

I realized an excel trigger to Lay under the minimum stake (about 1€) if are true some conditions.
The problem is that the lay result sended and not matched in the excel sheet, but if I control (in BA or in the betfair site), I can see the bet blocked at the first step of the "under minimum stake" process (i see 2€ layed @1,01); if i wait for minutes, the bet rest blocked at 2€ layed@1,01) and the only solution for this problem is delete the pending bet and resend the lay from BA interface.

some other info:
- my excel sheet is just opened, clear and no bet are placed before this;
- the lay under the minimum stake is the only bet placed from the sheet;
- I wait for the lay for minutes, but it is not placed;
- During the lay proces, on BA don't appear the classic message "waiting 20 second for betfair dalay..."
- I'm using BA 1.1.0.63t

can you help me?
sorry for my bad english!

Does this problem occur every time or intermittently?

What type of market does this problem occur on, ie. horse racing, soccer?

The latest version is 1.1.0.63v. Can you install this version and tell me if the problem still occurs? Download link can be found here http://gruss-software.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3922

I think you'll find the problems due to the API limits on the UpdateBets calls, at a guess you're placing more than 15 undersize bets in one pass and it's getting rejected by the API.

- the lay under the minimum stake is the only bet placed from the sheet; bit

At a first test the system appear to don't work (using the 1.1.0.63v version too).
But after more detailed test i have discovered that the problem was in same cell data format; indeed if I use odds and stake writen manually, the LAY command works correctly.
The problem was about the odds and the stake calculated from another cells.
the origin cells was an FIXED(XX;1) function; this referenced cell don't work (probally the 1 decimal number was interpreted as string, not as number); now the cell is =FIXED(XX;1)+"0" and it work !!!
