Multiple bets placed all at once cause ERROR code in Bet Ref

[xraymitch]

Gary, experimenting with a new trigger yesterday that lays on multiple selections within a race. There can be as many as dozen selections laid all at once which then causes the Bet Reference column to produce "ERROR" for each selection triggered. If I delete each cell manually that contains "ERROR"
the trigger fires again and the bet is placed.

I wondered if placing multiple bets all at once might for a second cause me to have insufficient funds but I have tried lowering the stakes yet it still happens.

Any ideas as to what is happening would be appreciated as I would like to explore this idea further.

Many thanks for your time.

hi
i think there is a limit of 16 bets placed at once for the time being at least...

[xraymitch]

Thanks mak, but I think it happens with less than that.

I will experiment further this afternoon.

There isn't a limit on the number of bets you can place in the version xraymitch is using.

Are you sure each stake and odds column is populated with a valid numeric value at the time the bets are triggered? It would only take one of them being invalid for the whole request to fail.

Is there now a limit in the latest version ? I populate the Baseball Acca's market in the summer and put in far more than 16 in one go during last season. As the season starts tomorrow, could you please confirm if there is any limit in 66j.

There isn't a limit. It places them in batches if necessary, but all on the same refresh.

OK thanks.

I think so because when I manually delete the ERROR code the bet is placed and I then go to the next cell and delete and it gets placed etc.

I will check this afternoon.

Thanks for your help

It's possible the request is being sent with multiple markets in the same call, the request will fail if the bet request contains data for more than one marketID or if the SelectionID refers to a different market

Thanks Captain for that suggestion, just now I thought I had it sussed. I reduced my liability to £5 with £100 in my account and the bets were matched - hooray !! Except I have just tried again and the bets all came up with the ERROR code...

Thanks people for you help

Just seen that the 15:20 at Musselburgh had no problems though

[xraymitch]

I am now going to try delaying each bet (which more or less kills any chance of the bets being matched)

Not sure yet how to do this...

[xraymitch]

Is their a WAIT trigger command ?

Sorry, there isn't.

I'm afraid ERROR doesn't really help. I will have to update it to provide a more meaningful error code. I have been meaning to do this for a while. I will make it a priority. I will try and release an update sometime in the next few days.
