Strange Happenings on Betfair
Something with betfair is screwy, yesterday i had a couple runners that i should have backed with my bot but failed to get taken, these were not for large stakes and i have not had this happen before.
Also yesterday i placed a bet on Said Com at Canterbury, it went off on unitab at $1.50 yet the price i got was $5 and this bet was placed 5 seconds before the starting time. Today Seymour race 5 i had 3 runners. 2. Pull No Punches 4. Zanzidar 3. World Domination 2 were backed the fav was not and should have been a saver bet for me. This is not every race it is random so something is going on for sure.

When BF works...
That saver bet on the FAV(<$3 ?) is a simple strategy but looks sound Shaun Would've thought the lower stake on other 2 is balanced out with longer odds on offer given that the FAV has been pushed into 'unders territory' ? LG

One reason is late scratchings clear out all bets and you sometime pick up a wild price in the mean time. Another reason is that the times may have changed for the race and your bot has not adjusted for it. Another reason is the race went into play (you were too late getting the bets on) and the figures you are matching against is the in play figures.

garyf, my issues were around 14-18 months ago when my bot missed a few winners with no logical explanation as to why other than there must have been an issue with BF, BF support could shed no light so I spat the dummy & stopped using BFSP & just took whatever was on offer at the time I placed my bets.
Recently started using BFSP again after discussion with others that have not experienced any issues & so far so good.

I havent had a bet on betfair for a few months.
Something that concerns me is that i notice they now don't publish BFSP on their results pages anymore. Why? Their SP product would be easy to manipulate, particularly if there is no public record to compare actual SP given to.
