Hi,
Quick question regarding in-play response times. I'm based in Australia and bets placed pre-post (on Aus markets and therefore are going through the Aus server) are consistently getting response times ~100ms which is roughly consistent with the refresh time in the brackets which is usually 70-80ms. However when placing an in-play bet on Aus races I'm getting wildly inconsistent response times of anywhere between 1250ms-2500ms (am aware of the 1 sec in play delay obviously).
It's even worse on international in-play markets (France and USA notably), pre-post I'll get around 400ms (obviously longer because it's going through the UK server this time) but my in play response times are anywhere between 2200-4000ms (sometimes more). All bets are above BF minimum.
I'm on a reliable 30mbps cable connection with a high single digit ping. I would have thought 1200-1300ms would be acceptable for the Aus in play bets and 1500-1600ms for the international markets. Am I being overly optimistic? Why the huge variation in in-play response times? API issues or something in my local settings?
Also I'm commonly getting the CANNOT_ACCEPT_BET error, maybe 1 out of every 10 bets, could be related?
Thanks for any help
