Hi,

Would anyone please be able to provide a link or some info on the duration of the In-Play delays imposed by Betfair on markets?

As far as I am aware the In-Play delay varies depending on the sport but might also vary with the individuals markets associated with that sport?

Yes, they vary by market, for fairly obvious reasons. I.e. whatever the delay is on the feed they have + safety margin. At least that's way I'd do it and that's my understanding of way they do it.

"imposed" .. The delays are there for OUR benefit. It kind of annoys me (considering BF actually do stuff worth complaining about) that when they do good they also get slated.. Sorry if I misread you as being negative on it of course ;)

Just Checking,

No worries, I was not slating the fact that the delays are there or being negative , it was just the terminology I used in asking the question, perhaps I should have phrased it "...applied delays..."

To return to the question does anyone have any details on the number of seconds the delays are per sport and markets within the sports such as horse racing, tennis, darts, football etc.

If you want the value for a particular market, just hit the public API for getMarketInfo, which includes the 'delay' value.

With the exception of bets for which the "keep" option has been selected, unmatched bets will be cancelled in the event of a confirmed goal or sending off.
