Starting Price Rounding

[Magic Murf]

Hi,

BA shows (and passes to Excel) the Starting Price to 2 decimal places. I don't know if this is the format supplied by Betfair, but the Betfair calculation is at a greater level of detail.

Does anyone know what rounding rule is used (either by Betfair or BA) to come to this 2-decimal-place version (round-to-nearest, round-up or round-down)?

(I know it seems pretty trivial, but it's been throwing off some of my calculations)

thanks,

Murf.

I can confirm that BA has not applied any rounding. It's the way it has been returned by the API unfortunately.

Thanks Gary ,

I'll pass my query on to Betfair,

In case anyone else is looking for this info in future and stumbles on this topic, the SP that Betfair passes out to BA is TRUNCed:

i.e. if they calculate the SP to be 2.45999999, it'll come out as 2.45 rather than 2.46.
