Default Betfair and daylight savings

Although the behind the scenes numbers (timestamp number) are correct to determine the betfair start time the text in most races seems very inaccurate today.

Daylight savings and betfair rarely go well.

Yeah. My bot's times are all over the place now. Bad day for my NEW thing however timing may not be the cause of my losses today - just a bad system.

Cool

Since about 2.00 my bot just gave the message,"market had closed before bet was fired". I was only running it on simulation thankfully, collecting data, but it is a joke!!

I have no problems getting the bets on as I use the long returned for market time which is right. The display text is my only problem.

Yeah, no problems with getting bets on so at least that was something, the problem at my end was finding the correct markets to link to excel, they were all over the place.

I always avoid using betfair at start and end of daylight savings, it is like playing with fire, you always get burned.
