is the bet reference equivalent to the number of bets that have been struck? If so we're close to the 10 billionth bet on betfair :0

I'm waiting to see if the extra digit will buggerup my API program, not 100% sure I covered all bases on this.

as long as you are using int64 or long integer types you'll be cool. A 32 bit int will have overflowed many years ago.

on the other hand, if you are storing it in a 10 digit string then you are a nutter and desrve for your bot to go mental!

Conspiracy theory:

Betfair don't know what's going to happen at bet number ten billion and are sabotaging the site and API to slow down the moment of truth.
