.. could provide some input.

I was trading an obscure AFC Cup game and when I tried to place a keep bet the screen responded by telling me that I had made an invalid data request. So I called betfair to ask what was occurring. They helpfully asked me to look at the rules tab which naturally is something I do every time I bet. He was telling me that the rules were now totally different on his screen to the rules that I see on my screen.

The reason, after discussion is that I logged on at 6.00 this morning, betfair in the meantime have changed the rules but the rules do not update although the prices do. I need to hit F5 to get the latest.

So while I reckon this is a fundamental flaw in their system how do you chaps handle this? Hit F5 every 2 minutes? Or is there another get around?

prices changing as people pull out of their inplay trading pre-positions. market reflecting truer value?

Please note: This market was originally scheduled to go in-play but due to unforeseen circumstances this will no longer be the case.

Per the rules.

See my post on the general forum about no refresh on the rules unless you hit F5. A fundamental flaw in their systems. Many will still be betting on this thinking that it will go in-play.

I think you have to refresh every five minutes yes. :(

It is bad news.

But surely they ought to do something about this.
