My exposure is not shown correct on the account page. Anyone else?

The numbers can look wrong at first if you have had some bets settled in a partially settled market, but the real exposure will be correct.
  I don't know if this is the case for you though.

Today I have bets on one football match, 3 markets. It is easy to add up the worst case numbers, and it is way off the reported "Current exposure".

Ok, impossible for others to find the error.  Are you sure you don't have an unmatched bet you have forgot in a market somewhere. You can check this and also all matched bets under the current bets tab in my account.

Thanks Eddie, yes I checked. Of course, I also notified Betfair, but my experience with the support is not great. The reply I got is what we in Swedish refer to as "goddag, yxskaft".

Am I missing something? My exposure still doesn't add up. Today my exposure in Atl Madrid vs Real Madrid match odds is -142.93 and in asian hcp -198.40 which should add to a total exposure of -341.33. But API and site reports a total exposure of  -344.21! What is the extra 2.88?

I'll try again, do you have any retained commission showing on the my account page ?

Hi Eddie. No, no retained commission. A real mystery for me. I just add the numbers (exposure i.e.) for each market as reported in the "My Bets" view for each market, and the sum is different from "Total exposure" on the "Account Summary" (and from API.)

aah, it is to do with the asian handicap bets. in the bet summary it should say real madrid win by 2, real madrid lose or draw, real madrid win by 1. . but it probably only gives you 2 of those scenarios, the difference in exposure is the one that its not showing in the bet summary tab.

real madrid lose or draw = -198.40
real madrid win by 1 = -201.28
real madrid win by 2 = + 162.33

the bet summary tab probably isnt showing the real madrid win by 1 scenario .   201.28 - 198.40  = 2.88

bit late now to see but that is what it was

Thanks for commenting Diggler!

But: real madrid win by 1 = 162.32

Back Real Madrid -1.0 523.05@2.08 gives 0 when RM wins by 1.
Lay  Real Madrid -1.0 & -1.5 324.65@2.24 gives 162.32.

Right now: England-Wales Draw -41,786.50 in asian hcp. Total exposure : -21,863.95.

This is absurd. Surely, it cannot be just me who gets wrong "Total exposure". I suspect exopsure calculation for Asian Hcp (Football i.e). The "Profit/loss" on the bets tab is OK though.
