Shame, with no issues up until Penn R1 I hoped the issue had been fixed.

Not API. I just put a bet into Penn R1 on the BF site and there was 5 secs delay.

I thought the same last night. I actually loaded the thread one minute below that race I listed above because I hadn't noticed anything and wondered if there'd been a report on here. Felt I'd jinxed it!

They've just voided all IP bets at Penn r1 cos of the 5 second delay? Very very strange
By:

Strange they've only picked that race. All races with the 5 secs delay should be voided plain and simple. Hopefully they've have spotted the issue, it's only taken them a week.

It was in play for over 20 mins so there might have been some other market mismanagement causing it to be voided.

you need eyes everywhere, did it go in-play , are bets going in on time, will they just void the race. It's become a complete joke lately.

Another there at Gulfstream, what a bloody joke
By:

Laurel and Gulfstream.

This is getting ridiculous now. If this is being done on purpose to test how the market reacts because they have some daft idea to increase the delay to 5 seconds then that would be a big mistake and would be the end of in-running.

Best thing to do....is if you don't know what delay you will get. which we don't.......just put in a 10p bet early in the race...and see if it gets the delayed  treatment....A pain but....

Gulfstream again there. It begs the question are they trading their own markets, combining GPS data to clean up? Testing the water with a few races to see how much liquidity remains and if there's anything left to be cleaned up, then they do the calculations. Obviously it will signal the end of in-running for the majority bar a few pre-race/ in-play off-setters if they are.

Dont see why they'd bother, if this became the norm there wouldn't be a single player left in running - having said that BF seem to love making awful decisions.

I think they'd be forced to give some answers/solutions if this was affecting UK races.

The betting delay is at attribute on the API. eg If you're using Bet Angel you can see the betting delay live. Possibly can be seen on other software too.

I don't think they need to try hard at ruining the in-running. Betfair's previous strategy and the GPS data are making a good job of that anyway.

Only thing I'm amazed about is the number of replies on here show there's still at least 6 people trying!!!

6 people?! I doubt that sometimes, just yourself against a few bots whilst the bot owners are tucked up in bed!

Got a reply last night saying that the traders were looking into the delay, and the later races all went smoothly, at least the ones I was involved in - so hopefully the meetings tonight go without a hitch.
