Scary

[Redders]

Good evening can any one help with this ?. I used the ladder this afternoon set my stop loss to 4 ticks put in a lay bet for £100 as I clicked it it vanished but was not matched , the message said that , and the ladder clearly showed the money was not matched .

A message came up which said processing !!!

I still clicked cancel bet just to be safe .. a message came up no bet to cancel .

A minute or so late I noticed it is now matched ....... 1 min before the off . I could also see the stop loss had kicked in and I took a £15 loss on the field ??


Any ideas , first time Gruss has had a wobble for me ,, best All Redders

When it says "processing" it has definitely sent a bet request to Betfair and is awaiting a response. You tried to cancel the bet while it was still waiting for a response so there was nothing to cancel. It sounds like it took a long time for Betfair to process the bet due to problem at their end. Once it finally got processed and Betting Assistant received a response it applied the stop loss as you had asked it to.

Thanks Gary . I will remember that for the future , Betfair was a little slow yesterday afternoon .

All the best Redders
