COM and Backs under £2

[HiArt99]

Just recently I have been placing bets at 10p for testing using COM interface as follows:

bet = ba.placeBet(price, "B", min1, stake)

Where min1=1.01, price = 0 (favorite) and stake = 0.10

Sometimes, the bet gets taken but freeses at 0.10 @ 1000, i.e. the code that adjusts the 10p bet back down to 1.01 does not trigger and therefore the bet is never actually placed.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I am using 1.3.0.15, and will update to latest version and try again

OK, ran into another issue with 1.3.0.18 that means I cannot test the above issue.

I have "auto load quick pick when new page selected" ticked, but when I open a new page I get Betting Assistant news, My code is expecting a market. How do I work around this issue?

[HiArt99]

Ignore me I'm an idiot. Sorry for wasting you time folks

[HiArt99]

I will still look to see if I encounter the bet freezing when I place a stake less than £2 and will report back

[HiArt99]

OK, this is still a problem

My code

Code: Select all

                                    bet = ""
                                    Trace.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:HH:mm:ss} placeBet('{1}'), 'B', {2:0.00}, £{3}. Horse {1} is {4}", _
                                                                  Now, price, min1, stake, prices(price).Selection))
                                    While True
                                        'Try
                                        bet = ba.placeBet(price, "B", min1, stake)


and this provided the following in my log

Code: Select all

                      15:09:45 placeBet('0'), 'B', 1.01, £0.2. Horse 0 is Trinity Star


From this trace you can see price=0 and that horse was Trinity Star, min1 = 1.01 ans stake - 0.2 so placeBet(0,"B",1.01,0.2)

The attachment "Bet Manager SS" shows this issue with the bet stuck at 1000
The attachment "Betfair SS" indicates no bets have been made.

I have been using something similar to this code for a while so this is a relatively new issue, For now, I suppose I will have to use the £2 minimum, but that is a pain when testing code.

It was a bug, sorry. Please install version 1.3.0.18e from the link below. It only affected back bets at 1.01 and lay bets at 1000 with below minimum stakes.

I have uninstalled BA and downloaded it from this link but the version in the title still says 1.3.0.18 without e.
Is that intended or an error?

Problem solved. Someone sent me a link that installed 18e.
Only wondering why the link above doesn't do it although it says it does.
